displayed, but the colon is
blinking
The Device is not getting A/C power. Try another A/C wall outlet that you
know is live. Insure both ends are connected.
The PRN Time does not
reset when opening the
medication door.
Instruction # 6 was not followed when replacing the blue lid. The
medication door pushes up the white T-BAR (directly below the medication
door), which triggers a micro switch and resets the PRN time. If the
medication door is on the wrong side of the white T-BAR, the medication
door can’t engage the micro switch to reset the PRN time.
The medication tray does
not rotate when the PRN
time reaches 0:00
The battery is not plugged in. See step # 1. To test the battery connection,
disconnect the A/C power, and
ONLY
the colon should be blinking.
The new medication slot is
empty
The medication was not loaded properly, Refer to step #5.
Display shows ‘OFF’

PRN time.

The Battery and A/C are
connected but the device
won’t rotate to the next
medication when the PRN
time reaches 0:00
Most likely, the medication tray was previously forced to the next dose
disabling the device. Please call our customer support at 310.328.7557 (9-
4:30 M-F Pacific Time) to rectify this situation.
Please read and understand the following:
Note that many PRN regimens involve the dispensing of narcotics. The MedReady
1700PRN is designed as a medication aid only. MedReady is NOT a medication Safe or
Vault. With determination, a patient will be able to break into the device and access more
than intended. If there is any doubt that a patient will have an uncontrollable urge to
access more medication than prescribed, please do NOT use this device. Under normal
use, only one dose is available at any one time.
