How To Use Anapen®

Step 1

Remove the black needle shield by pulling in the direction of the arrow.

When the black needle shield is removed, a small internal grey needle shield will come loose. This is supposed to happen. The Anapen® needle is double capped for safety and sterility.

Step 2

Remove the grey safety cap from the red firing button.

Step 3

Position the needle end of the Anapen® device against the outer part of the thigh. Anapen® can be used through light clothing, such as denim, cotton or polyester.

NB: Anapen® is intended only for intramuscular use. Administer to the outer part of the thigh only, nowhere else.

Step 4

Press the red firing button so that it clicks.

Hold the Anapen® device against the outer thigh for 3 seconds before removing.

1) Check the adrenaline has fired

The injection indicator will show red if the injection was completed successfully. If it isn’t red, repeat the steps with a new Anapen®.

2) Recap the device

Use the wide end of the black needle shield to cover the small needle.
