Getting Started
Reloading Medications
Note: The medication tray must be removed and the
Loading Guide Disk repositioned each time medications
are reloaded.
■ Remove the medication tray from the MedSmart Unit and
note which dose(s)/number(s) correspond to any remaining
medication doses. (Illustration D)
■ Lift the Loading Guide Disk and rotate it so that the same
dose(s)/number(s) to the right of Start are lined up with the
correct dose(s)/number(s) you noted prior to repositioning.
(Illustration E)
Note: Any missed doses remaining in the tray must be removed
before reloading.
■ If you are reloading medications at a different time of day than
usual, make certain the Dosage Guide Disk is the correct one
for your current reloading time. Start should always fall before
the next scheduled dose to be taken.
■ Using your Medication Planning Chart for reference,
reload empty cells to the right (counter-clockwise) of existing
medications or to the right of the Start position as when
loading an empty tray.
■ Moving counter-clockwise (to the right), load your pills into
each of the cells based on your Medication Planning Chart
schedule.
IMPORTANT: NEVER LOAD PILLS INTO THE START
POSITION.
When tray is nearly empty, Start
should be to the right of remaining
medications.
Reposition Loading Guide Disk so that
Start is to the left of the remaining doses. Be certain to match
up the cell number with the remaining dose number/position
noted before repositioning the Guide Disk.
