Dispensing Medication
Missed Doses
The Philips Medication Dispenser will announce a reminder message of “Time to take
your medicine” once a minute for 45 minutes or until someone presses the button .
After 90 minutes with no response, the dispenser will automatically contact a caregiver
(if one has been provided) . For more information about caregiver alerts, please refer to
page 47 .
If there is no response after 90 minutes, the Philips Medication Dispenser will consider
the dose missed . The medication cup will be dispensed to the missed dose storage bin,
the voice messages will stop and “System OK” will start blinking on the display .
NOTE: The Philips Medication Dispenser will stop operating if four doses are missed
and the missed dose status is not cleared . Please see page 25 for instructions on
removing missed dose cups and clearing the missed dose status .
Early Dose
The “Early Dose” feature is useful when the patient will be away for a short period of
time . With “Early Dose,” medication cups are dispensed ahead of schedule . The patient
can take the medication cups with him or her so medications will not be missed .
“System OK” will blink if there is a
missed dose that is not acknowledged .
The medication cup will be sent to the
missed dose storage bin .
