MedReady 1700PRN Instructions
1-Install the Battery
The battery compartment is
located on the underside of the unit. Open the battery
cover by sliding the tab back and lifting after the tab
clears the stop. Plug in the battery. Notice the design
of the plug allows it to be inserted in only one
direction. Replace the battery cover. If the battery
has been installed correctly the colon on the display
face should now be flashing. ***
The battery must
be connected for the MedReady to operate ***
2 – AC Adapter
Plug the AC adapter into the
underside of the unit where it says “12 Volt DC Jack
Here” and connect to an active electrical outlet, which
is not controlled by a wall switch. The entire LED
display should now be visible.
3 – Remove the Blue Lid
Insert the round key
into the lock, depress slightly and rotate the key
clockwise to the open / horizontal position. With the MedReady in front of you, place one hand at the 9
o’clock position and one hand at the 3 o’clock position. Depress slightly with both hands and
rotate
clockwise
about one inch until the blue top stops rotating and then lift the blue cover off. Leave the key in
the blue top, and in the open / horizontal position.
4 – Setting the PRN Time
While continuing to hold down the ‘1’ button,
adjust the PRN time by
pressing the HOUR or MIN until the desired PRN time is displayed. Note that only one PRN time can be
set, therefore the 2, 3 and 4 buttons have been disabled.
5 – Loading Medication
The medication tray can be removed by simply lifting it out of the dispenser.
There are 29 medication positions of which 28 are usable.
Starting with any empty slot, load each slot consecutively in a counterclockwise direction until all 28 usable
positions are filled, or until you have reached your desired fill quantity. Do not skip any slots while loading
the medication. It is alright to leave empty slots at the end. Example: If loading only 24 doses, then 24
doses should be loaded in a counterclockwise direction leaving the remainder of the slots empty.
It important to position the medication tray with the empty position at the 6:00 position and centered
directly under the white T-Bar.
IF LOADING LESS THAN 28 Doses: Since the medication tray rotates clockwise as it dispenses, if all 28
doses are not loaded, the medication tray must be positioned with the last empty slot directly under the
white T-Bar, and medication starting directly to the right (counterclockwise).
6 – Replacing the Blue Lid.
Before putting the blue top on, look at the Red Cover and make sure the white T-BAR is pushed up
towards the arrow “ ”
. Insure the round key is in the lock and in the open / horizontal position.
Close
the Medication door on the Blue Lid.
Place the blue lid on the MedReady slightly rotated clockwise
about an inch (in the same position in which it was removed). With the MedReady in front of you, place
one hand at the 9 O’clock position and one hand at the 3 O’clock position. Depress
slightly
with both hands
and rotate
counter clockwise
about one inch until the blue top tabs slide under the base tabs. Rotate the key
counter clockwise
to the closed / vertical position and remove.
