Allergy Guides: Replacement Cards for Large EpiPen Bags

Keeping accurate Allergy Guides in your emergency kit is a vital step for anaphylaxis safety. These replacement instruction cards fit perfectly into the updated Large EpiPen Bag, ensuring that any caregiver or first responder can act quickly with the most current medical protocols.

Why You Should Update Your Allergy Guides

Medical standards for adrenaline auto-injectors change frequently. For example, EpiPen® recently updated their official guidelines regarding the “hold time” required after an injection. Older devices often specified a 10-second hold, while newer versions may only require 3 seconds. Using outdated Allergy Guides could lead to confusion during a high-stress medical emergency.

By using these specific replacement cards, you can ensure your instructions perfectly match the device you carry. Consequently, we recommend that you verify your medication’s hold time and update your Allergy Guides every time you receive a new prescription.

Sizing and Compatibility

Please review the dimensions below to ensure these cards fit your specific carrier:

• Ideal Fit: New Style Large EpiPen Bag with Guides for Anaphylaxis  – 22 cm x 16 cm x 8 cm.

• Not Suitable: Medium Bag – 20 cm x 13 cm x 8 cm.

• Note: These cards are designed for the “New Style” bag, which is larger than previous legacy models.

How to Use Your New Guides

1. Check Your Pen: Look at the label on your current adrenaline auto-injector to confirm the required hold time (3, 5, or 10 seconds).

2. Select the Guide: Choose the corresponding card from the drop-down menu.

3. Swap Immediately: Remove the old, outdated Allergy Guides from your bag and replace them with the new cards. Never keep two different sets of instructions in one bag, as this causes dangerous delays in emergencies.

N.B. These cards fit the new style large EpiPen Bag with Guides for Anaphylaxis  which is bigger than the old style.

Please note: EpiPen® have changed their guidelines, reducing the amount of time needed to hold the auto-injector in place after injecting.  EpiPen® auto-injectors may state ‘Hold for 3 seconds, 5 seconds or 10 seconds. Please choose the corresponding guide in the drop-down menu.
