Holding the leg makes sense.

I thought they shortened the time (10 seconds) a while ago. The intent was to get every last drop, literally. And I thought it was a while ago someone did testing and no more is injected after 5 seconds. Maybe I have a faulty memory, or maybe wasn't worth changing instructions until there was something else to change.

This update was made in May 2016.  It may take time for updated instructions to roll out into the real world.

Now you have me wondering if it was 3 seconds when they changed the injector to include the orange cover over the needle and I don't read the sheet anymore so I did not see that.

Our allergist office still teaches 10 to my knowledge.

A doctor on one of the fb allergy groups was instrumental in the studies used for the new guidelines. She also deconstructed the auvi q to try to determine the problems with it and has been doing/overseeing tests about temperature guidelines.

Posted to my local allergy group, the FDA updated EpiPen use and directions:

The biggest changes are holding the leg of a child and only holding the device in place for three seconds. Interesting.
