The Silent Knight
- SILENT YET POWERFUL - Will not disturb patients. No more F258 citations for noise caused by tablet crushing.
- CRUSHES TABLETS TO FINE POWDER - Powder dissolves quickly and prevents clogging of feeding tubes. Prevents "cheeking" by patients in correctional and mental facilities.
- SAFE & FAST - Requires minimum force resulting in fewer wrist and arm injuries. Can crush multiple tablets quickly thus reducing med-pass time.
- ELIMINATES CROSS-CONTAMINATION - During crushing, the tablets are held in a strong, durable plastic pouch that doesn't tear. This prevents cross-contamination and incidental dosing. No clean-up required after use.
- LIFETIME WARRANTY - Customers never have to pay for the replacement of a damaged machine.
- COST EFFECTIVE - Because the Silent Knight™ can
crush tablets to fine powder, users can save on medication cost by reducing the use of liquids by substituting crushed solid medications dissolved in liquid.
*50 Pouches Included*
- Remove a pouch from the dispenser. Place the tablet(s) in the plastic pouch. It is imperative that only soft tablets such as Panadol are crushed 4-5 at a time. Hard tablets must be crushed individually.
NOTE: Do not overfill pouches.
- Lift the handle and place the pouch about half way into the crushing area. Line up the tablets with the top of the metal crushing plate.
NOTE: The supplied pouches only must be used or damage to the pill crusher can result. Furthermore, the usage of other containers may puncture or rip that container resulting in loss of medication.
- Without using undue force, press the handle down to crack the pills. Repeat pressing the handle down while feeding the tablets further into the crushing area.
- Shake the pouch to put the tablets all the way down to the bottom of the crushing area to complete the crushing.
- Tapping the handle rapidly while removing the pouch will pulverize the tablet(s) into a fine powder form.
- After reaching the desired particle size, pour the medication into a medicine cup, or other administration medium for serving to the patient. Tap the sides and corners of the pouch to remove any trapped particles.
- Dispose of pouch after use safely.
- Cleaning and Maintenance:
The Silent Knight is made entirely of non-corrosive metal and can be cleaned with any common disinfectant or simply with water. There should be no tablet residue on the pillcrusher if the correct pouches are used and they are not overfilled.
