Instructions for Use
Remove inner tray from outer packaging, place on a flat surface. Remove the epinephrine vial. Inspect the epinephrine vial for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use if the solution is colored or cloudy or if it contains particulate matter. Snap off the lid of the Adrenalin ® vial and wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol prep pad.
Remove the safety needles and The Epinephrine Syringes™. Attach a safety needle to The Epinephrine Syringe™ and insert needle through the rubber stopper of the epinephrine vial, drawing out a single dose.
Always follow the prescriber’s order for dosing information.
Prepare to administer the subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The preferred site of epinephrine administration is the anterolateral aspect of the thigh (vastus lateralis muscle) because of its location, size and available blood flow. This location is between the greater trochanter and the knee. When injecting, lift the vastus lateralis muscle away from the bone. Cleanse the site of administration with an alcohol pad prior to injection, however, epinephrine may be injected through clothing if necessary.
Do not inject into the buttocks, digits, hands or feet.
If the patient’s symptoms of anaphylaxis persist, epinephrine dosing may be repeated every 5- 10 minutes per the prescriber’s order.
Do not administer repeated injections of epinephrine in the same site as the resulting vasoconstriction will cause tissue necrosis.
Any unused epinephrine either in the vial or syringes must be discarded 30 minutes after entering the vial.
