The Anapen® Trainer is a training device designed to mimic the mechanism of the real Anapen® adrenaline auto- injector. The Anapen® Trainer does not contain medication or a needle.
It’s important that people regularly practise the correct use of the Anapen® using the Anapen® Trainer. Do not use the real adrenaline auto-injector for training purposes. The adrenaline auto-injector should only be used to treat a severe allergic reaction in an emergency situation.
The Anapen® Trainer is reusable and allows you to practise using the Anapen® as many times as you wish.
The Anapen® Trainer simulates use of the real Anapen®:
- Same spring-action
- Same pressure on the red button
- Same “click” sound when activated and;
- Same “Needle End” label.
The Anapen® Trainer looks slightly different to the real Anapen®. The Anapen® Trainer is grey and labelled “Trainer”.
Below you will find some illustrative resources showing how to use the Anapen® Trainer.
