These kits include everything needed for setup except the prescription medication itself. Serious food allergies are reaching a tipping point - approximately 8% of children in the United States have been diagnosed with a serious food allergy and even worse, 25% of all serious allergy incidents involve children who had not been previously diagnosed as having an anaphylactic allergy.
Common precautions taken for these children such as nut-free lunch tables and storage of epinephrine in the nurse's office was a start. A misplaced epinephrine injector, an unavailable school nurse or a slow responding ambulance can have deadly results.
We've heard for years about first aid, the Heimlich maneuver, about CPR, about defibrillators. Epinephrine is a miracle-drug - a critical lifesaving supply for the current era. The current paradigm is that epinephrine is a prescription medication that needs to be stored securely. And that is where the Original Allergy Emergency Kit comes in. The Original Allergy Emergency Kit is intended to finally make Epinephrine as available as a fire extinguisher or defibrillator. It is designed to be hung in school lunch rooms and hallways as well as any public place - as close to the point of need as possible. Under normal circumstances, a staff member of the institution will be able to calmly open the unit with their key in order to use the Epinephrine and supplies. If a key is not available - for instance if an emergency occurs before or after school or on a weekend - an attached hammer can be used to break the proprietary safety glass to instantly access Epinephrine, Benadryl and other such supplies. All parts on the unit are available as replacement parts.
The Velcro back panel allows you to organize any combination of Epinephrine auto injectors, asthma inhalers or other emergency supplies as appropriate for the age and allergy/asthma risks in your building. Signage options allow you to clearly indicate kit contents.

About the Original Allergy Emergency Kit WITH LOCK
The Original Allergy Emergency Kit Wall-Mounted Cabinet is intended to be installed in the school lunch room close to the nut-free
table or in corridors near where children eat in their classroom or could experience bee stings during
recess or gym class. The patent-pending design balances the security of a locking door with the
emergency access of a breakaway glass window. In an “extraordinary situation” if you don’t have a key
– you break the glass! The Velcro back panel allows you to organize any combination of Epinephrine
auto injectors, asthma inhalers or other emergency supplies as appropriate for the age and
allergy/asthma risks in your building. Signage options allow you to clearly indicate kit contents.
Kit
includes hammer/chain, installation anchors, 3D signage to mount above the cabinet and all needed
Velcro.
25% of anaphylaxis incidents involve victims who had no idea they had an allergy. Legislation is
shifting toward a “non-specific” or public supply of epinephrine auto injectors – store your
public supply in a public area!
Clearly demonstrate your commitment to safety to worried parents of nut allergic children.
Minimize panic in case of an anaphylaxis emergency by shaving minutes off of the time it takes
to get epinephrine to the child.
Reduce liability due to “comedy of errors” that could cost a life (locked doors, missing keys,
misplaced auto-injectors, delays)
Comply with laws that require “secure” storage of prescription medication.
