Electric feeder can be programmed to serve food, soup, or a sandwich, or to feed five individual patients of varying heights and positions. A software program teaches the device the mouth position, the chew and swallows cycle, and how to respond to switch commands. A plug-in joystick and switches set up the positions that can then be locked off from changes until reprogramming is needed. Pause times can vary from 1/10 second to 10 seconds and can be set at the mouth, at the plate, or at a pause position. Switching options vary from a single switch that turns the plate and cycles to the mouth to wait for another plate motion to two switches that allow the patient to have more control. Unit comes with two spoons, two plates, a plate stand, a sandwich holder, two switches, and adjustment wrenches. The instruction manual is designed for the caregiver, and technical support is available to help you select the best switching and operating options for your client. 25" x 11"D.
