Accutab is NOT childproof.
How to Mount your Accutab™ Using Included Screws
Congratulations on your purchase of Accutane. Accutab is an innovation in dosing for prescription medications and vitamin supplements. It simplifies the organization of weekly and multiple medications and helps ensure correct dosing. Accutane simplifies the task of medication management for persons of all ages. Accutab has an added bonus for arthritis patients, whose condition makes it painful to open medicine bottles multiple times each day. The concept for the Accutab dispenser was developed by an arthritis patient. Accutane can be used with an electronic medication reminder such as the e-pill Multi Alarm HOME (SKU 759023), e-pill CADEX Alarm Watch (SKU 952431 or 952433), or any Smartwatch.
How to Mount your Accutab™ Using Included Screws
- Permanently mounting your e-pill weekly medication dispenser before its first use is recommended. Your new e-pill dispenser comes with an easy to install bracket (screws are included) designed to mount inside a kitchen cabinet (the recommended child-proof location) or under a shelf. A screwdriver is the only tool required for installation. A pencil is useful for marking the mounting location. The bracket is attached to the mounting surface with four screws provided.
- Find a convenient and suitable location to mount your Accutab. Some oral tablets and capsules react adversely to high humidity. Mounting directly over sinks or in bathrooms is not recommended. Accutab is not child proofand we recommend mounting inside a cabinet, out of reach of children.
- Insert Accutab into its bracket and hold the assembly in place, making sure there is clearance for removing and inserting Accutab.
- While holding the assembly in place, mark the screw locations on the mounting surface through the holes in the bracket with a pencil or pen.
- Remove Accutab from the bracket and attach the bracket to the mounting surface with the four screws provided. Once the bracket is attached, insert Accutane and test its operation.
Loading and Operation of Your Accutab
Accutane is intended to provide up to three doses per day starting with the Monday AM dose and continuing through Sunday PM. Accutane should be loaded after the Sunday PM dose and before the Monday AM dose. Accutab should only be loaded when the word LOAD appears in the Dose Window (which shows the dose last taken).
- Ensure the word LOAD is visible in the dose window. If LOAD is not visible move the red dispensing lever from left to right until LOAD is visible.
- When loading, remove Accutab from its bracket and place it on at surface.
- Load your medications in the appropriate compartments according to your dosing schedule. For each Day of the Week, three compartments are provided and are labeled AM, NOON, and PM. You may t up to 25 aspirin-sized tablets in each dosage compartment. See the next page for specific filling instructions based on how many times you take medication.
- After loading, insert your Accutab into its bracket. Accutane is now ready for operation. The dose that appears in the clear window is the dose LAST TAKEN.
Operating the Accutab is very simple. Place your hand or a container
(”medicine cup”) under the dispensing opening located on the bottom of
Accutab. Moving the red dispensing lever from left to right one time will
dispense one dose at a time. The dose will fall from the dispenser opening.
The compartment day/time label viewed through the dose window is a convenient
reminder of the LAST DOSE TAKEN (last dose dispensed). The clear compartment
walls allow you to see that all medications have fallen from the compartment,
and that no medications are left in the tray
