Taking your medication
When it is time to take your medication, e-pill® Medimi™ will alert you with light, sound and vibration.
To dispense medication, press the blinking ejector button twice.
Keep e-pill®Medimi™ upright when ejecting medication.
Medication is ejected into the pil collection cup. Check that the dose is correct.
To take the medication, pull the cup down one notch and slant your e-pill® Med-
imi™ until the pills fall into your hand (see picture).
Following each dose ejection, e-pill® Medimi™ checks if there is sucient medica-
tion for the next dose. If e-pill® Medimi™ alerts you that it is out of medication,
open the sliding cover and check the display to see which medication(s) are about to
run out. To avoid incorrect medication, ll up with medication immediately.
Relling medication
Remove the pill collection cup.
Take out the cartridge(s) to be relled. Remember where the cartridge was set in e-pill® Medimi™. Rell
the cartridge in the same way as described at start-up.
When the cartridge is reinserted in your e-pill® Medimi™, a text message on the display will conrm which
cartridge was entered and which medication e-pill® Medimi™ expects has been inserted. e-pill® Medimi™
will ask how many pills are in the cartridge. If the cartridge was empty when it was removed, a suggestion
for a full cartridge, i.e. 7 or 15, is made. If the cartridge contained pills when it was removed, the sugges-
tion will be the same number as when the cartridge was removed. e number can be changed with ▲ ▼.
Conrm by pressing ●.
Note: If a wrong number is entered (e.g. too many), this can lead to incorrect dosages.
