Purge Function
Purge allows the caregiver to empty the machine without regard to any schedule. For example, the
user experiences a power outage and the batteries are completely drained. When power is
restored, the MD.2 will power up but will have lost all knowledge of the dosage schedule and
what medications were loaded. In this instance, all medication cups must be removed and the
MD.2 must be reprogrammed and reloaded.
To start the Purge function, press the Help key. The display will read:
Use the right arrow key until Purge is flashing. Press the OK key. The display will read:
The MD.2 is positioning its medication cup cylinders. This will take up to two minutes then the
display will read:
Remove all cups in medication cup cylinders and press OK key. The display will read:
Continue the Purge steps until you are finished unloading all medication cups from the machine.
When you are finished, press the Right arrow until the Quit field is flashing. Press the OK key.
The screen will display:
The MD.2 is ready to be reprogrammed with the medication schedule (see Section 5) and
reloaded with medication.
