There are 3 Types of AUTO INJECTORS

Epipen

Jext

Jext Information

The Jext Auto Injector has the same characteristics as the EpiPen

Some difference:

  •  The shape of the jext is round
  • The black end is the needle end
  • Red= Adults
  • Yellow Children (Weight Checked)
  • Yellow safety cap
  • Note: 10 Seconds to hold the injector in the thigh 

2 x Jext required

The importance of two auto-injectors in schools and nurseries is crucial. Ensure you always have two.

NOTE: In some cases, you may have

1 x Jext + 1x EpiPen. This was recently allowed due to the shortage of auto-injectors.

Emerade

Paediatric Use

Use in children: Emerade 500 micrograms is not recommended for use in children.
Children below 15 kg bodyweight
A dosage below 150 micrograms cannot be administered with sufficient accuracy in children weighing less than 15 kg, and use is therefore not recommended unless during a life-threatening situation and under medical advice.

Children between 15 kg and 30 kg bodyweight
The usual dose is 150 micrograms.

Children over 30 kg bodyweight
The usual dose is 300 micrograms.


Adolescent patients over 30 kg bodyweight

The dosage recommendations for adult patients should be followed.
