In an emergency situation, it is vital that patients and carers intuitively know how to use their AAI.

Press against the thigh. Hold for 5 seconds. Then, massage the injection site lightly. Call 112.
All used Emerade correctly
In a simulated emergency situation 100% of test persons used Emerade correctly, without any prior training. This compares to 64% for Jext and 33% for Epipen.
- Emerade®100%
- Jext®64%
- EpiPen®33%
“Emerade is an intuitive easy to use AAI compared to JEXT or EpiPen.”, says Dr Knibb.12
A design that feels natural: The cap is removed from the needle end, revealing an obvious needle exit. There is no confusing hole at the other end. Patients and carers can easily see where the needle emerges.
Why this design is important: Non-pen-like functionality causes needle stick injuries.
