The Pivotell®  Advance GSM Automatic Pill Dispenser is a premium automatic pill dispenser that incorporates a number of important and advanced features which are designed to help both the user remain compliant with their medication regime and further support their family members, carers and pharmacists.

  • Unique GSM Features - Warning text messages sent to family members and carers for certain situations, such as a missed dose
  • Automatic Dispensing - Can be filled and programmed by the user, relative, carer, or pharmacist to dispense pills up to 24 times a day
  • Security - A self-locking shutter over the lid opening prevents access to the medication tray except at the alarm time. This prevents the possibility of double dosing or the forced movement of the medication tray by the user
  • Display - The LCD display is visible through the lid allowing the user and carer to view: the date and time, the time that the next dose is due, the number of doses remaining, the battery level
  • Start Delay and Stop functions - Delays activation or deactivates dispenser - useful for those using multiple dispensers and to allow pharmacists or family members to fill in advance away from home
  • Upside-down - The tray will not rotate if upside down. When upright it will move to the correct dose for the time & date at the next alarm time

Unique GSM Features

The Pivotell® Advance GSM Automatic Pill Dispenser includes all of the enhanced security and display features of our PivoTell Advance Dispenser along with a GSM module that adds additional benefits;

  • The GSM dispenser can send "warning" text messages to up to 3 family members or carers if medication is not taken on time ( and other warnings listed below)
  • 1 family member/carer can also receive emails in addition to text messages

Warning Messages

  • Medication is not taken on time
  • Pill dispenser has been left upside down (as medication won't dispense if upside down)
  • There is a device error
  • There are only four doses remaining in the dispenser
  • The batteries need replacing

The Administration Centre

The dispenser is programmed online using the Pivotell Administration Centre. The Administration Centre provides reports on the user's Medication Compliance, for example, it records the actual times when medication has been dispensed and when warning messages such as 'Dose not taken' have been sent.

The full communications history between the device and the Administration Centre can be monitored.

After 12 months there is an annual charge of £26 (excluding VAT) for the Administration Centre. 

Safety Feature - Upside Down Usage

  • The tray will not rotate if upside down. When upright it will move to the correct dose for the time & date at the next alarm time

This also allows for the possibility that the dispenser could be transported upside down. If a dosage time occurs when the dispenser is upside down it will alarm as usual but the tray will not move forward.

If the dispenser is upside down for some time the dispenser will record on how many occasions it should have rotated and when returned to the upright position will move to the correct position for the next scheduled dose so that the correct medication for that time will be presented.

Alarm Function

  • At the pre-programmed times, the dispenser rotates, the alarm signal is heard, and the correct dosage comes into view through the opening in the lid
  • Alarm can be programmed to ring for up to 5 hours
  • Pills can be dispensed 1-24 times a day
  • 4 different alarm sounds
  • Flashing alarm indicator for those with hearing impairment

Dispensing Medication

  • Compartments - 28, two or more compartments can be programmed to alarm at the same time
  • Multiple compartment dosing - Two or more compartments can be programmed to alarm at the same time (for those with a high quantity and/or large pills)
  • Start delay function - Delays activation to allow pharmacists or family members to easily fill in advance away from the user's home
  • Stop function - Deactivates dispenser - useful for those using multiple dispensers in the home
  • A Pharmacy label carrier and label case is supplied (to comply with Royal Pharmacy Society of Great Britain labelling requirements)
  • Day / time discs supplied (for 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 times daily dosage and one blank disc for five or more doses per day)
