For me I have to carry so many for the kids it's not only a space saver but makes for a huge difference during a stressful moment to differentiate my injector from the kids' EpiPen, Jr.

Clinical Study Background
A bioequivalence clinical study was conducted using Auvi-Q (epinephrine injection, USP) and EpiPenŽ. Both auto-injectors delivered 0.3mg of epinephrine. Injections with epinephrine using Auvi-Q were well-tolerated and resulted in epinephrine plasma concentration levels that were found to be bioequivalent to EpiPenŽ.
It's not that I find Twinject itself confusing, it's just that I don't want a school nurse to have to think too much. They Re very familiar with the epipen design already, so that's what I want them to have available. I want it to be as close to automatic as possible.
Just curious, are all defibrillators the same, or do they have different designs?

This is from the old board - his needle bent and he couldn't use it.
Had he had the slimmer Twin Ject he would have had two doses. The new design of the Epi is for the birds and not feasible for guys frankly. Especially since most packs are designed not to hold the double pack. Others have noted that he was not afraid to use his epi pen.
I am not trying to put the fear in anyone's hearts but yes, it's stories like this that make me worry about when my boys get older. We are putting all of our eggs in one basket with the Auvi Q...
DS keeps his epipen in his pocket. I thought that would be too warm, but the Mt. Sinai gurus said it's OK. Honestly, as boys get older, it's the only way they're going to carry them. ~)
Both shots of the twinject use the same needle, so if it was bent, neither dose could have been used.
When we switched (temporarily) to twinject, I still purchased just as many as when I buy epi-pens.
