MedReady 1700PRN Automated Medication Dispenser — PRN Interval Control

The MedReady 1700PRN Automated Medication Dispenser is purpose-built for PRN (as-needed) medication regimens, offering precise control over when the next dose becomes available. Caregivers can set minimum time intervals between doses—from 15 minutes up to 24 hours—ensuring patients only access medication at safe intervals. Once a dose is retrieved, a visible countdown timer begins, displaying exactly how long until the next dose can be dispensed. When the timer reaches zero, the next compartment becomes available with no alarm notification, maintaining the as-needed nature of PRN dosing.
