Definitions
- the vials Before use of the dispenser medication required by the user at specific times is placed in respective vials according to the time of dosage.
- the vials are then inserted into the storage compartments by rotating the carousel and loading the vials one at a time through the portal 8.
- the day/date and time for taking medication therein is entered into a memory for the indexer software using a keypad 9 and message display 10 located on the top of the cowling 5. It is envisaged that the medication vials would preferably be inserted and the dispensing times entered by a pharmacist or qualified carer in the case of elderly or otherwise disabled patents.
- the carousel is rotated by built-in indexer software to locate the appropriate medication vial containing said medication directly under the portal 8.
- the lift mechanism 7 is then activated by the user/carer to raise the vial from its storage compartment up through the portal for presentation to the user who opens it and consumes the medication.
- buttons 35, 36 for reminding users or carers of other procedures that need to be carried out such as for example blood pressure readings, refrigerated medications such as insulin or medications required just before or after meals. Additional special needs such as doctors appointments, carer visits and liquid medications etc. are preferably also incorporated into a "look up" menu which would appear on the display by using scrolling buttons 37.
