Completely portable, disposable and easy to use, Rex is perfect for the visually impaired and cognitively impaired, or anyone who can’t read or understand their medication label instructions.
Now available for purchase through Quixtar.com are the Rex Starter Kits for personal use and Rex Refill Kits. The Rex Starter Kit contains 3 bottles, a recording unit with a microphone that makes recording possible by simply pressing a button and speaking, a power supply, and easy-to-follow instructions. The Refill Kit contains three additional bottles that are used in conjunction with the recorder included with the Rex Starter Kit.
