Overview

The Ivation Automatic Pill Dispenser is a sophisticated device designed to help users manage their medication schedules effectively. Its primary function is to dispense pills at pre-set times, ensuring adherence to medication regimens.

Function Description:

The device features a rotating tray with multiple compartments, allowing for the organization and dispensing of pills for up to 28 days, depending on the number of daily doses. It supports various dosing frequencies: one, two, three, or four times per day. The dispenser includes a digital clock display that can be set to either a 12-hour or 24-hour format, providing flexibility for users. Up to four daily alarms can be programmed, each with a distinct alarm tone (A, B, or A+B) or a silent option, catering to individual preferences and hearing levels. When an alarm sounds, an LED light also illuminates, providing a visual cue. To stop the alarm and dispense pills, the user simply picks up the dispenser and tilts it over, allowing the pills to fall into their hand or a container.

Usage Features:

Setting up the dispenser involves several steps. First, four AA batteries must be inserted into the battery compartment. The device is opened by gently pressing a thumb on the front tab. Once open, one of four provided discs, corresponding to the desired number of daily doses (1, 2, 3, or 4), is placed on the tray. These discs help guide the user in organizing and loading the medication into the appropriate compartments. The refill frequency varies based on the daily dose: 28 days for one dose per day, 14 days for two doses, 9 days for three doses, and 7 days for four doses.

The clock can be set by holding down button 1 until the colon symbol blinks, then using buttons 2 (hours) and 3 (minutes) to adjust the time. The 12/24-hour format can be toggled by simultaneously pressing buttons 2 and 3. Alarm times are set similarly: pressing button 1 cycles through the alarm settings, and buttons 2 and 3 adjust the hour and minute for each alarm. An alarm can be canceled by pressing button 2 until the "---" symbol is displayed.

The device includes a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized access or accidental spills. A key is inserted and turned a quarter turn to the left to lock and a quarter turn to the right to unlock. This feature adds an extra layer of security, especially in households with children or individuals who might tamper with the medication.

A low battery indicator appears on the LCD display when the batteries need replacing, ensuring that users are aware before the device runs out of power.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning the dispenser tray is straightforward, requiring only a damp cloth or sponge. This ensures hygiene and prevents medication residue buildup.

The dispenser also features a built-in testing mode to verify its functionality. To enter test mode, button 1 is pressed for approximately 12 seconds until "CH" appears on the display. In this mode, various tests can be performed:

  • CH 1 Display Test: All segments of the display light up to confirm proper display function.
  • CH 2 Display Test: The motor rotates the tray one compartment, verifying the dispensing mechanism. If the motor fails to rotate, displaying "CH6," it indicates a malfunction, and the batteries may need replacement or the device may require service.
  • CH 3 Alarm Signal Test: The alarm sounds and the LED light illuminates, confirming the alarm system is working. Turning the pill box over during this test also checks the RESET function, which should stop the sound and light. If the pill box is not turned over within 10 seconds, "CH 4" appears.

If any malfunction occurs, replacing the batteries is recommended as a first troubleshooting step. The device is designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions for setup, operation, and basic maintenance, making it a reliable tool for medication management. It is important to avoid placing the dispenser in direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light, as this may cause malfunctions.
