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.
