4.3.2 Take dose

“Take dose” gives you three dosing options. Use these options together with your medication schedule for

increased flexibility.

You can dispense the Current Dose before Medimi alerts you if you are within the permitted medication time window. This may be of use if your medication is taken before breakfast and your breakfast time varies.

You can dispense the Next Dose in advance. This function may be used when you don’t want to bring Medimi with you but need to take your medication. When the Next Dose function is used, you will not be reminded of the next dose(s) if you have already dispensed that dose.

You can dispense an extra tablet/capsule by using the function Extra Pill. This function may be of use if you should drop or lose a tablet or capsule.

Medimi logs all events, to help you remember everything. You find this under the Info menu.

4.3.3 Tools

The “Tools” menu is used to enter and change settings. When you use Medimi for the first time you will follow a setup wizard to enter some basic data such as your preferred language and the current time and date.

The default setting for Trigger Alarm is Missed dose, Dose taken, Low battery and Missing pills. The settings can be changed in the menu Trigger Alarm.

A number of settings are default settings and you don’t need to change them to get started. Wireless setup is located under Tools.

4.3.4 Schedule

This menu is used to enter or change your medication schedules. A maximum of 16 doses can be entered for a 24-hour period. You may have different schedules for each cartridge. Medimi will save each medication schedule that you enter and alert you based on these schedules.

If you use medication that is not suitable for storage in Medimi, it is possible to have an additional schedule for this medication. Medimi alerts you in the same manner as if the medication were loaded in one of the cartridges.

Each schedule can have a fixed start and end date.

4.4 Cartridge

Cartridges are available in two sizes. One cartridge for 15 pills/tablets/capsules with a maximum size of 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/8" (10 x 10 x 10 mm) and one cartridge for a maximum of 7 pills/tablets/capsules with a maximum size of 3/4" x 3/8" x 3/8" (20 x 10 x 10 mm)

Medimi will keep track of the number of tablets/capsules in the cartridge based on the size of the cartridge, the number entered when the cartridge is inserted and the number of tablets/capsules dispensed based on the medication schedule.

When you insert a cartridge, Medimi assumes it is completely filled if it was empty on ejection. If the cartridge is not empty when ejected, Medimi assumes that the number of tablets/capsules remaining has not changed.

You must enter the applicable number of tablets/capsules:

 when you do not fill an empty cartridge completely or  when you change the number of tablets/capsules in a cartridge that is not empty.

The cartridges are designed so that you are only able to insert them in the correct position.

If the cartridge dispensing mechanism for some reason ends up in the wrong position (B), you will receive an error message and will be asked to remove the cartridge and correct the error (A). An incorrectly positioned dispensing mechanism is corrected by rotating the dispensing wheel until the window for position detection is white.

Warning You may continue to skip dispensing your medication by pressing the dispensing button once, opening the cover and answering No to the question asked. However, this will eventually result in missing the dosage time window and the dosage will be registered as a missed dose. Your Medimi will then cease to provide you with an alarm for this dose. This can result in inaccurate dosing.

To silence the alarm, press the dispensing button once. Medimi will continue to alert you once a minute until you have dispensed the dose.

To eject the medication, press the flashing dispensing button a second time. Keep Medimi upright when dispensing the medication.

Medication is ejected into the cup. Check that the dose is correct. To take the medication, hold your hand under the cup, pull the cup down one notch and tilt Medimi until the medication falls into your hand. To remove the cup completely you need to move it beyond the notch.

If Medimi alerts you that it is out of medication, open the sliding cover. The display gives you information about which cartridge needs to be refilled. To avoid incorrect medication, refill medication immediately.

If for any reason you do not want to take your medication, you can open the sliding cover and answer no to the question displayed.

9.6.2 Operating mode

You will find these settings under “Tools – Mode”.

Medimi can operate in two different ways. The medication schedule is linked either to a fixed position in Medimi or to the medication name saved on the cartridge.

Position

Medication schedules are linked to the cartridge position in Medimi. The user is responsible for ensuring that cartridges with the correct medication are inserted into the correct cartridge holders.

Medication The name of the medication is stored on the cartridge and linked by the name to the schedule. Medimi reads the name of the medication from the cartridge and the cartridge may be inserted into any position. It is important that the cartridge contains the correct medication.

Enter the name of the medication using the ‘Cartridge Admin’ option under the Tools menu. Please note that the medication and dosage schedule must be entered before this option can be selected.

9.6.3 Link cartridges

You will find this setting under “Schedule – Link cartridge”.

This function can only be used when the medication schedule is linked to the position. With this function you can use more than one cartridge for the same medication schedule.

To set this up, go to Schedule. Select the medication you want to link to another cartridge. Go to Link cartridge. Select the schedule you want to use for the linked cartridge.

9.6.4 Cartridge admin

You will find this setting under “Tools – Cartridge admin”.

A list of cartridges appears on the display. Select cartridge by pressing the ● button.
