Scheduled Delivery
8 AM
12 PM
6 PM
8 PM
In the example above, the closest two delivery times are 2 hours apart, so the MD.2 will assign
one hour (1/2 of 2 hours) as the medication alert time between the 6 pm and 8 pm dose. For other
delivery times, in the example above, that are 3 or more hours apart, the alert time is 90 minutes.
Q:
How closely can I schedule medication deliveries?
A:
The MD.2 can deliver medication cups as close as 5 minutes apart. In general IMD does
not recommend that you space any deliveries that close together, as this gives the user a
very short medication availability time, or alert time.
Q:
Can I have different delivery times for the weekend (or any day of the week)?
A:
Yes, the MD.2 is fully capable of supporting a unique variety of schedules and doses per
day for each day of the week.
Q:
Can I schedule days where no medications are delivered?
A:
No, there must be at least one, and no more than 6 deliveries for each day. If your
schedule requires you to skip a day, you could deliver an empty cup (or a cup filled with
a candy "treat') on days you do not take medication. This technique might also help
your user stay in the habit of taking their medications.
Loading Questions
Q:
I went too far in the loading procedure and have run out of medications for the day the
MD.2 is asking to be loaded for.
A:
To remedy this problem just finish up the loading process knowing that you did not load
medications for the last day. Next, press the Help key, followed by the OK key, to
activate the Unload process. Follow directions on the screen and Unload the last day's
worth of medications (the day where the error was made). Quit the Unload after
removing the erroneous day(s) (by pressing the OK key when Quit is flashing on
screen). For complete details, see Section 10.
