MedReady 1700PRN Automated Medication Dispenser
The MedReady 1700PRN Automated Medication Dispenser is expertly designed to manage PRN (as-needed) medication regimens, providing reliable access while helping prevent overdosing. This specialized dispenser allows caregivers to preset the minimum time interval between doses anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours, ensuring patients only have access to medication at safe intervals. Upon accessing a dose, a visible countdown timer activates, showing exactly when the next dose will be available. Once the timer reaches 0:00, the next dose can be taken, with no alarm to indicate availability, preserving the as-needed nature of PRN dosing. Shipping is free to USA customers.

Key Features of MedReady
Security
MedReady offers top-tier security with a tamper-resistant design. Instead of relying on a latch, it uses a robust lock and key system to ensure the safe storage of medications. This key-only access allows caregivers to load the unit and track patient adherence, providing peace of mind that medication is securely stored and managed.
Medication Information Storage
MedReady includes a practical card holder located at the bottom of the unit, allowing you to store a printed copy of all prescriptions for medications housed in the dispenser. This feature provides quick and easy access to important medication details when needed, enhancing organization and accuracy.
User-Friendly Timer
Setting the timer on MedReady is as easy as using a digital alarm clock. The straightforward setup process ensures that patients and caregivers alike can quickly program medication timers without hassle, allowing for seamless daily use.
Reliable on Good and Bad Days
Whether you’re at home or traveling, MedReady is designed to work reliably. The unit includes a rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride battery pack that ensures continued operation during power outages or while on the go, providing up to 48 hours of backup power. It also functions using a standard 120V AC household outlet, so you can depend on it in any setting.
Safety Features
MedReady prioritizes safety by automatically switching from AC power to rechargeable battery backup in the event of a power outage or when traveling. This automatic transition ensures that the device continues to function, preventing any disruption in medication management.
Clear and Visible Countdown Timer
The MedReady dispenser features a large, easy-to-read LED display, which is self-illuminating for clear visibility in all lighting conditions. The timer is designed to be viewed from any angle, ensuring patients and caregivers can always check the countdown timer at a glance.

Notes:
- Many PRN regimens involve the dispensing of narcotics. The MedReady 1700PRN is tamper resistant, but it is NOT a medication safe or vault. With enough determination, a patient will be able to break into the device and access more than intended. Under normal use, only one dose is available at any one time.
- This is a non-monitored dispenser. If you are a caregiver who wants to remotely monitor your patient’s medication dosing with automated alerts, please choose a monitored MedReady model such as the 1750, 1750FL, MR-357, or MR-357FL.

My son can’t take meds closer than 4 hours but it’s OK if he takes them 8 or 10 hours apart because he only needs to take them when he feels he needs them. The 1700PRN works like a charm giving him a true as needed dispensing and freeing up my time. MedReady’s “one less argument” clam is really true.
