General usage instructions

General information on admission and use

Here you will find general instructions for using the ANABOX® smart.

  • Keep the medication box safely away from children!
  • Before first use, wash/rinse the individual cups!
  • Follow the cleaning instructions.
  • Impacts, vibrations, and general shocks are to be avoided in any case.
  • We recommend cleaning the cups before each refill with medication or when medication changes occur.
  • Please consider any special storage conditions for medications, such as light and temperature sensitivity according to the package insert of the respective packaging. If in doubt, please contact your pharmacist or the manufacturer of the medication.
  • We assume no liability for the incorrect use of the ANABOX® smart or the incorrect intake of medication.
  • The use of the medication box by persons with intellectual disabilities should be done under expert supervision.
  • Based on the production date applied on the back (production clock - year/month), the product can be used for 5 years with proper use, proper storage, and cleaning.
  • The lifespan of the device is extended by careful handling and regular cleaning and checking of functions.

Do not expose the electronic control unit, charging cable, or power supply to liquids. If the electronic control unit, USB cable, or power supply get wet, carefully disconnect all cables without getting your hands wet, and wait until the device, USB cable, and power supply are completely dry before reconnecting the USB cable.

Do not dry the device, USB cable, or power supply with an external heat source, such as a microwave, hair dryer, toaster, sandwich maker, or hot air blower. Do not continue to use the device, USB cable, or power supply if you suspect they may be damaged.

Only use accessories supplied with the device to power the device. The use of other power supplies and cables may adversely affect EMC. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the device or connected cables during a thunderstorm.

The ANABOX® smart should not be operated next to/ on other (medical) equipment. If it is not possible to avoid placing the ANABOX® smart in close proximity to medical measuring equipment, the user of this measuring equipment must be informed that monitoring of the equipment results is necessary to verify the intended use of the equipment in the chosen arrangement.

Electronic devices are sensitive to electrical discharge and high-frequency electromagnetic fields.

Caution: To avoid interference with the device by RF interference (e.g. microwaves, radios, televisions, amplifiers, etc.), the user should maintain a minimum distance of one meter from portable and mobile RF telecommunications devices. If interference occurs, the user must increase the distance accordingly and ensure that all devices function properly.

In some areas, the disposal of electronic devices is regulated. Make sure to dispose of or recycle your device in accordance with local laws and regulations.

For health and safety reasons, as well as to protect other electronic devices, the device complies with the general population exposure limits to electromagnetic fields.

Do not stack the device during operation. Do not place the device in the immediate vicinity of other sensitive electronic devices or medical devices or medical systems. The distance must always be at least 30 cm. The device can be operated on the public power grid and meets the requirements of IEC 61000-3-2 (Harmonic Distortion) and IEC 61000-3-3 (Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker).
