Our dispensers

Pivotell automatic pill dispensers help people take the right medication at the right time. At each programmed alarm time the dispenser presents only that dose, and everything else stays locked away.

How a Pivotell works

  1. Fill

    Fill the tray with up to 28 doses. Fill it at home, or a local pharmacy may be able to help.
  2. Alarm

    At each dose time the dispenser sounds an alarm and flashes a light.
  3. Tip

    Tip the dispenser and only the right dose comes out. The alarm stops.

Standard dispensers

Each one alarms at the programmed dose time and presents only that dose.

Coming soon: as-required (PRN) mode

Some medicines are taken only when needed, such as pain relief, but must not be taken too often. In PRN mode the dispenser doesn't alarm at fixed times. Instead, a dose can be dispensed whenever it's needed, but only once the minimum time since the last dose has passed.

Fixed times (PRN off)

For regular daily medication. The alarm sounds at set times each day, for example 7am, 12pm, 3pm and 8pm.

As required (PRN on)

For occasional medication. You set a minimum time between doses, for example no more than every 4 hours. The display shows when the next dose is available.

PRN mode is coming soon to the Pivotell Advance Smart, Advance Wi-Fi and Advance 4G. The interval must be set in line with the GP's, pharmacist's or patient information leaflet's instructions. PRN mode is not suitable for anyone who is confused about their medication.
