FILLING THE DISPENSER
1.
Time Discs — three day/time discs are supplied which comprise:
Two printed discs for between 1
-
4 medicine prompts per day (use either side) and one
blank disc for more than 4 medicine prompts per day. The discs should be completed by hand
indicating the medicine times*. Select the appropriate disc for the number of doses per day.
*NB: Before filling out the day/time discs, calculate which will be the date and time of the
user’s first dose with the newly filled medicine tray (particularly if a pharmacy will refill
the
tray) and start to the right of the red section
(see figure 4. below). Place the disc on top of
the tray. Secure the disc in place by bending down the four tabs (a spot or two of glue will
secure it further if preferred).
2. Medicine
Remove the tray from the dispenser. Starting from the right of the solid red
section (do not fill this section), place the correct dosage in each section of the tray.
Note: if a pill is inadvertently dropped in an incorrect compartment,
a pair of tweezers can be helpful to easily remove the pill.
Figure 5.
3. Replace the tray in the dispenser
Place the tray in the dispenser with the red section showing
in the lid opening, so that when the lid is closed the first
dose to be taken is to the right of the lid opening. At the
next alarm time the tray will rotate one section clockwise
and make available the correct medicine. (See figure 4.).
Note: To avoid damaging the mechanism, the medicine
tray must always be repositioned by lifting it out and then
lowering directly into the case in the correct position.
Do not force the tray to rotate.
4. Complete the pharmacy label carrier
Remove the re
-
posable adhesive pad cover on the
back and stick the pharmacy label carrier to the
battery case cover. Slide the plastic cover into
position to protect it. (See figure 5.).
Note: Re
-
usable spare trays with lids and time discs
can be purchased to allow pre
-
filling.
