Cleaning the System During Patient UseIf a patient or Healthcare Professional desires to clean any part of the System during use, alcohol wipes should be used.Since the Dispenser is inserted into the patient’s mouth for dosing, the patient may desire more frequent cleaning of the Dispenser than other portions of the System, possibly after each dose (though this is not required; frequency of cleaning is primarily a personal choice by the patient).  Use of the Cap will protect the Dispenser tip from inadvertent contact by patient guests and Healthcare Professionals.If for any reason the patient or Healthcare Professional notices visible contamination, clean the System as follows:Wipe as necessary with fresh alcohol wipes until the System appears visually clean. Do not saturate any part of the System.  Wipes should not be excessively wet; squeezeout excessive liquid from the wipes before use.Let System dry before next patient use.The Dispenser, or entire System, should be replaced if the patient or Healthcare Professional is concerned about severe contamination.WARNINGDO NOT soak or immerse System in water.WARNINGDO NOT clean the interior portion of the tip.  If interior of tip is visibly contaminated, replace the Dispenser.Printed on: ; Printed by: .

Tether UnlockSTEP 1 Access Tether Unlock PromptIf for any reason the System needs to be repositioned during patient use, unlock the Tether from the bottom of the Controller. Examples include moving the patient to a wheelchair, bedside chair, walker or gurney, in which case the System can be re-tethered to be in close proximity to the patient. Ensure that the Tether does not get tangled with any equipment lines that may be near the patient, since this could interfere with patient access to therapy.  When the patient is being transported, ensure that the Tether does not get tangled in the wheels which may damage the System or jam the wheelchair or gurney.Note: The Security Tether must be reattached in order to continue therapy and the System will not dispense tablets while the Tether is disconnected.STEP 2 Remove Tether1. Press the Menu button on the Controller.2. Touch the Authorized Access Card to the Blue Dose Button on the back of the Controller to access the System Menu.3. Highlight and select the Tether Unlockfunction by pressing the Enter/Select Button.4. The System will release the Tether from the bottom of the Controller and display that it is unlocked.

K STEP 3 Securely Attach Tether and Attach Holster to New LocationWhen you are ready to re-secure the Tether, first loop the Tether around the bedrail or another object such as a chair, wheelchair, walker or gurney.  Reattach the Tether into the bottom of the Controller. The Controller will sense that the Tetherhas been inserted and lock automatically. The Holster should be attached to an object near the patient to hold the tethered System(Refer to Section 5, Step 14). NOTEIf the patient is being transported, the System should be tethered to the wheelchair or gurney and the System should be placed in the attached Holster.The patient should only self-administer doses from the System when not in motion.  If the patient attempts to dose while in motion, jostling may cause the tablet to miss the patient’s sublingual space causing aloose tablet. Should this occur, the patient should inform the Healthcare Professional so that the loose tablet can be retrieved and disposed of properly.Printed on: ; Printed by: .
