Cartridges
Cartridges are the main dispensing device
for the RPM. They hold the medication and
when needed, operate and dispense correct
amount of pill to the bottom unit.
Cartridges are calibrated for specific sized
drug. Therefore, it is recommended that the
cartridge gets recalibrated if the
manufacturer for that drug is switched.
