AUTOMATIC PILL REMINDER AND DISPENSING SYSTEM
Thank you for buying an e-pill Medication Reminder. Your new Med-Time XL is an Automatic
Pill Reminder and Dispensing System designed to support individuals in taking their
medications properly and on time.
• The Med-Time XL dispenses all your
medications (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...) up to 28
times per day and reminds you (the
patient) with a loud alarm and blinking
light (up to 60 minutes in duration), when
it is time to take medications.
• The Med-Time XL contains 28 individual
compartments that you (the caregiver)
can easily load with medications (pills) to
accommodate a range of dosing
schedules. The device should be kept
locked (2 keys are included).
• The Med-Time XL dispenses the right medications, in the right dosage, at the right time.
When the alarm goes off (loud alarm & blinking light), pick up the Med-Time XL with one
hand. Now by simply turning the device up-side down, the right medications will fall out of
the opening in lid, into the patient's other open hand.
