<p>A portable medication dispenser is programmed to deliver, within its capacity, any specified prescription of tablet medicant. Each medicant is loaded into individual cartridges 5 and inserted into the dispenser by a responsible person who also programmes the dosage of each medicant and delivery times using the keys 13, 14 provided. When the tablets are delivered into a beaker 8 an audible and visual alarm 6 is activated which continues until the beaker 8 containing medicant is removed. An override button 10 is incorporated which can be depressed after the return of the beaker 8, to cause the delivery of only one more dose of medicant as that previously delivered. The dispenser is powered by mains electricity but incorporates mains chargeable batteries which automatically cut in during disconnection or power failure. Six cartridged medicants can be delivered up to 4 times a day in doses of up to 4 tablets simultaneously. <IMAGE></p> |
