System Overview
This section provides you with general information about the InPower™ Wellness System.
System Description
The InPower™ Wellness System consists of a solid medication dispenser (InPower™ Personal Medication
Assistant), single-use medication pods, control software, and a pharmacy interface application.
• The medication dispenser provides audible and/or visual alerts when it is time to take a medication.
• The medication dispenser communicates with the pharmacy to provide information on how well you
are taking your medication.
• The medication dispenser collects data via peripheral devices, such as glucometers, weight scales, etc.
Intended Use
The InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant is a solid medication dispensing device intended for medical
purposes that is used to issue solid (pills) medication. The device is designed solely for oral dosage forms
of medication and is also a medication reminder system built to provide alerts for one person’s medication
dosing schedules. The device incorporates wireless communication.

Contraindications
The InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant is contraindicated for patients who have been diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s disease, other dementia or cognitive limitations that prevent them from properly using
the device and following instructions from a licensed health care professional. The InPower™ Personal
Medication Assistant also is contraindicated for patients who reside in skilled nursing facilities or in
situations where they do not independently take medications (i.e., a caregiver gives medication to a patient).
The InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant must not be used to dispense medications that are not in solid
oral dosage form and prescription pain medications that have a high potential for abuse (i.e., medications
regulated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as C-II such as hydrocodone, morphine and
oxycodone). Patients who transfer medications from one pharmacy to another must ensure that the
prescriber and dispensers at both pharmacies are aware of the transfer to minimize any disruption in using
the InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant.
The InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant should only be used to dispense solid, oral medications.
It should not be used to dispense the following types of medications:
• Controlled substances (a drug or chemical whose manufacture, possession, or use is regulated
by a government, such as illicitly used drugs or prescription medications that are designated as
controlled drugs)
• Those that must be stored in their original packaging
• Extremely low weight pills that cannot be accurately weighed by the device
• PRN (pro re nata) (take as needed)
• Topicals, injectables, liquids, suppositories
• Inhalers, sprays
• Hygroscopic (attracts and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment)
• Pills to be cut
• Emergency drugs (e.g., nitroglycerin)
• Those with complex dosing schedules

Setup Instructions
This section describes how to set up the InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant in your home and
load your first medications.
Device Placement
Allow two hours for the device to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of its new environment
after being unpacked and placed in your home. This is to ensure that the sensitive scales in the pod trays
can accurately measure the weight of the medications.
Cellular service is required in your area for the device to operate.
The InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant should be placed:
• in an area of your home where it will not be jolted.
• with enough room to open the door and pod trays.
• on a flat, level, and stable surface that is out of the reach of children.
• near a wall socket since it requires power.
Do NOT place:
• it near an air vent, fan, or open window because the airflow can adversely affect the sensitive
scales contained in the pod trays.
• objects on top of the device.
• the device near a ledge or in an area where you might easily drop medication onto the floor.
Once the device is set up in your home, you should avoid moving it.
Device Setup
After you have unpacked and placed the InPower™ Personal Medication Assistant in an appropriate place
in your home, plug the device into a wall socket. Then, follow these instructions to set up communications
between the device and your pharmacy, and load your first medications into the device.
Before performing this procedure, you should have with you the medication pods that you need to load now
given to you by your pharmacist in a polybag. Keep the pods in this bag until you are ready to load them into
the device. Make sure to inspect the bag and its contents prior to loading them.
CAUTION: Do not take or remove any medication from the pod until you have loaded
it into the device.
