8. Operating the MD.2
Normal Operating Mode
The MD.2 begins its normal operation after loading the unit. Once in normal operating mode you
will see one of five different screen types displayed. They are:
1. In Between Deliveries Screen:
The time until the next dose is displayed on the top line. Today’s date is displayed in the lower
left hand corner of the screen. Current time is displayed on the low right hand corner of the
screen. System status field is displayed on the center of the lower line.
2. Screen with flashing “System OK”:
The flashing field indicates that the user has missed one or more doses of medication. Missed
dose status can be determined through the Status key on the keypad. Notification of caregivers is
attempted when a dose is missed.
3. Delivery Message:
The time of day will remain along with Time for Your Medication Please Use Button message on
the screen. Press the large delivery button on the front of the unit. The display message will also
be voiced by the MD.2 once per minute. A bright red light will flash. It is time for the user to
take their medication. The MD.2 will continue in this mode for up to 45 minutes. If the user has
not pressed the delivery button during this time, the MD.2 will add loud beeps to the voiced
message. It will continue this operation for up to an additional 45 minutes. If the user has still
failed to get their medication, the MD.2 will terminate this display and mode, place the missed
dose into the missed dose storage bin, and will attempt caregiver notification.
