Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for device maintenance are described herein. Objects, such as pills, tablets, capsules, etc., may build an electrostatic charge as they pass through a dispensing device. This electrostatic charge may cause the objects to adhere to components of the dispensing device, such as inside a tube, chamber, etc. To prevent this from happening, the dispensing device may comprise an ionizing component, such as a fan, that may be configured to perform a maintenance procedure. The maintenance procedure may allow the objects to pass through various components of the dispensing device more freely.
