Positioning
The pill dispenser is a free-standing unit which can be
placed on any flat surface within the home.
Operation
The pill dispenser will sound an alarm, flash a red light
and the display will show “
TAKE MED
” when it’s time for
the user to take their medication.
It will make the correct dosage available at the correct
time each day, at all other times the pills are securely
locked inside the dispenser.
If the pills are not taken, an alert will be sent to the
Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or local Manager.
Warning
Certain medication should not be exposed to the air and
should therefore not be placed in automatic dispensers; if
in doubt check with a Pharmacist.
Medication Time Alert
When the alarm sounds the shutter will be unlocked. The
pills are removed from the dispenser by tilting it through
90
o
and pouring them into the hand.
The tilting action will silence the
alarm then re-lock the shutter
again after 2 minutes.
If the dispenser is not tilted
the alarm will continue
until the programmable
AFTER time has expired
(5 mins to 5 hours). When
half the AFTER time expires an
alarm call will be transmitted to the ARC or the
local Manager. When the full AFTER time has expired
another alarm will be transmitted and the shutter will lock
to prevent the possibility of 2 doses being taken within a
short time (i.e. potential double-dosing).
Dispenser Left Upside Down
If the pill dispenser is upside down when an alarm occurs,
the alarm will sound as normal, but the tray will not turn
until the dispenser is returned upright.
If more than one alarm time has passed whilst the
dispenser has been upside down the dispenser will present
the correct medication for that time.
Low Battery Condition
If the battery level falls below 20% the display will show
“
LOWBATT”
in sequence with the
DATE/TIME
.
If the batteries have not been replaced by 00:05:10 (five
minutes and 10 seconds after midnight) a low battery
condition will be reported automatically to the ARC or the
local Manager. This will repeat every night at 00:05:10
until the batteries are replaced.
If the battery percentage falls to
0%
the
pill dispenser will
cease to operate, it will bleep, and the display will show
“
ERROR 10
”. The battery level can be checked at any time
by tilting the dispenser forward (between 15 and 40
degrees); after the “
NEXT DOSE
” and “
DOSES LEFT
”
information the battery level remaining will be displayed
e.g. “
B 75%
”.
All programming is retained when the batteries are
replaced. The time may need correcting if the batteries are
left out or are completely out of charge.
Replacement batteries:
4 x 1.5V Alkaline AA
Rechargeable
batteries may also be used but ensure the “
BATT
” function
in
Menu B
is set as “
NIMH
”.
