Enhancing Workplace Allergy Preparedness with Kitt Medical’s Anaphylaxis Kit

Severe allergic reactions, known as anaphylaxis, can occur unexpectedly and escalate rapidly. To address this critical health concern, Kitt Medical has developed the Anaphylaxis Kitt—a wall-mounted emergency kit designed to provide immediate access to adrenaline auto-injectors (AAIs) in workplaces and educational settings across the UK.

Key Features of the Anaphylaxis Kitt

• Secure Wall-Mounted Design: The kit is installed in a visible and accessible location, similar to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), ensuring prompt access during emergencies.
• Colour-Coded Adrenaline Auto-Injectors: Contains two 300mcg injectors for adults and two 150mcg injectors for children, clearly labelled for quick identification.
• Comprehensive Training: Includes access to a CPD-accredited online training course, developed in partnership with Anaphylaxis UK, to educate staff on recognising and responding to anaphylactic reactions.
• Automatic Replenishment: Adrenaline pens are monitored and replaced before expiry or after use at no additional cost, ensuring the kit is always ready for use.

Eligibility and Compliance

Under UK regulations, adrenaline auto-injectors are prescription-only medicines. However, exemptions allow registered schools and qualifying businesses with an occupational health scheme to purchase and maintain AAIs for emergency use. Kitt Medical's service aligns with these regulations, providing organisations with the necessary tools and training to manage anaphylaxis effectively.

Implementation and Accessibility

Each Anaphylaxis Kitt comes with four keys, including a breakable emergency key box, to ensure controlled yet swift access. The kits are designed to be easily transported to the site of an emergency, facilitating immediate response. Clear instructions and a straightforward 1-2-3 usage guide are included to assist even untrained individuals in administering the injectors correctly.

Conclusion

By integrating the Anaphylaxis Kitt into your workplace or educational institution, you demonstrate a proactive approach to health and safety, ensuring that staff are prepared to handle severe allergic reactions promptly and effectively.
