Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to bring MedSmart into your life.
MedSmart is a convenient, user-friendly device to help you take your
pills and vitamins properly and on-time. The circular tray has cells for
you to organize and store medications to be taken from 1 to 6 times
per day. At each reminder/alarm time, a flashing light and sound alert
will remind you that it is time to take your pills, the tray will rotate, and
your medication will be made available. The alarm will stop when you
tip the unit to dispense your pills.
MedSmart is available in stand-alone or monitored versions depending
on your needs.
The monitored (with modem) version of the MedSmart will transmit
dispensing history and device information to a secure website, via
the Monitored Docking Base, for access by authorized individuals,
caregivers, or healthcare professionals. This version can also be
programmed for you by the Product Support & Programming Center.
(See page 16 for more information.)
Please make sure that you, your caregiver or any other person
responsible for setting up and loading MedSmart fully reads and
completely understands this user guide and operating manual.
