This battery operated circular unit alerts the user when medication is due and dispenses the dosage. The alert is either an audible alarm or flashing light. It contains 28 compartments and enables up to six alarms per day. The unit is lockable and only the right medication is exposed for dispensing.
General Details
Caution: Medication Management
Always check with a pharmacist before storing medications in a dispenser or storage container as some medications require special storage conditions and some medications cannot be kept in the same container as others.
Safety and Usage Advice
Refer to the supplier and manufacturer manual for maintenance instructions and safety warnings.
Extra product information
Med-O-Wheel Smart can be programmed for one to four dose times daily as required, and it reminds the patient to take medication on time with audio and light alarms.
Once the patient pushes the transparent part of the device cover, it rotates the cassette inside and makes the correct dose available, while waiting for the next dose time.
If a dose has been missed despite all the reminders, the dispenser will skip that dose and make the next correct dose available, when its time comes. The missed dose remains inside the cassette to allow that medication to be monitored and re-used.
