How is Epi-Ready mounted?

Solid attachment to a wall surface with all four screws and wall anchors (provided) is necessary for proper use. The mounting holes on the back of the unit allow for continuous detachment and re-attachment if you need to take the unit back and forth between locations.

Where should it be mounted?
It is recommended that Epi-Ready be mounted in the most frequently used rooms (home-kitchen, school-classroom, cafeteria, etc.). It is also suggested to mount near the most used door of exit to serve as a reminder to take the EpiPen/Twinject when leaving.

The unit should be mounted at a minimum of 54 inches off the floor. See mounting instructions.

How does Epi-Ready open or close?
Epi-Ready has a tab hook on each side. The tab hook attaches securely to the rear portion when closed. To open, moderate pressure is evenly applied to each side with fingers and the cover is pulled toward the user. The instructions, “To Open Squeeze Sides & Pull Back”, are imprinted directly on the cover. The unique closure provides a level of security against children looking to open unit for curiosity or other non-emergency reasons

What about direct sun and temperature concerns?
Epi-Ready has been designed for the proper storage of the auto-injectable epinephrine. The material used for the unit has been selected to be see-through, yet protective from UV rays. The vents placed in the bottom and top of the cover will allow for acclimation of the internal temperature to the room temperature.

Is it secure? Can children play with it?
There is a level of security achieved through the tab hook lock on each side and the shape of the unit’s cover. A level of mature dexterity and hand size is needed to unhook both tab hooks simultaneously. Mounting the unit at a minimum of 54 inches from the ground will also keep it out of reach of curious hands.

Is there anyway to adjust the pressure that is needed to unhook the tabs?
Yes, the tabs can be adjusted to lessen the pressure that is needed. Please call 877-374-7323 to learn how to make this simple adjustment.

Does EpiPen/Twinject come with the unit?
The auto-injectable epinephrine does not come with the unit. The unit is designed to hold either EpiPen or Twinject. It will hold 2 of these per unit.
