How
does
the
Pill
Dispenser
Advance
work?
The
Pill
Dispenser
Advance
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.
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
to
until
the
programmable
“after”
time
has
expired
(5
minutes
to
5
hours).
When
half
the
“after”
time
expires
an
alarm
call
will
be
transmitted.
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).
Pills
“ready”
and
pills
“taken”
times
are
also
transmitted
and
logged
in
the
Reach
Plus
or
Advent
xt
.
This
data
can
be
analysed
using
Tynetec’s
iCare
software.
Note:
Advent
xt
requires
additional
hardware.
Loading
the
Pill
Dispenser
The
Pill
Dispenser
is
provided
with
clearly
printed
discs.
These
discs
identify
the
day
of
the
week
and
the
appropriate
number
of
doses
per
day
(between
1
and
4).
A
blank
disc
is
provided
for
those
on
5
or
more
doses
per
day.
Place
the
appropriate
disc
for
the
required
pill
dosage
on
top
of
the
tray
taking
care
to
line
‐
up
the
holes
and
push
down
over
the
4
locating
pins.
Use
the
disc
as
a
guide
when
placing
the
pills.
Certain
medication
should
not
be
exposed
to
the
air
and
therefore
should
not
be
placed
in
automatic
dispensers;
if
in
doubt
check
with
a
Pharmacist.
After
filling,
position
the
tray
so
that
the
compartment
with
the
first
dose
to
be
taken
by
the
user
is
to
the
right
of
the
opening.

Resetting
the
Doses
Left
Display
Each
time
medication
is
dispensed
the
number
of
“
DOSES
LEFT
”
will
reduce
by
1.
When
the
tray
is
re
‐
filled
it
is
important
to
reset
the
counter
by
pressing
button
2
until
“
TRAY
Z
”
is
displayed.
If
the
dispenser
is
working
in
the
“
SECURE
”
mode
the
tray
will
move
a
half
turn
to
lock
the
shutter.
The
number
of
“
DOSES
LEFT
”
will
now
be
the
same
as
the
number
entered
in
the
“
FILLED
”
quantity
setting.
Close
the
lid
and
lock
with
the
key
supplied.
The
refill
frequency
will
depend
on
the
number
of
daily
doses;
once
a
day
refill
every
28
days,
twice
a
day
refill
every
14
days,
three
times
a
day
refill
every
9
days,
four
times
a
day
refill
every
7
days,
etc.
