Description
The Demo Dose® Glucagon Kit (PN01254) is a simulated medication kit designed for medical and nursing education. It is not a real drug and is for instructional use only.
Key Features
Simulated Emergency Kit: This product mimics a real emergency glucagon kit. It contains all the necessary components to realistically simulate the preparation and administration of glucagon.
Components for Reconstitution: The kit typically includes a vial with a simulated powdered medication (glucagon) and a separate syringe prefilled with a simulated diluent. This design is crucial for training students in the real-world, two-step process of reconstituting the drug before administration.
Realistic Appearance and Dosage: The vial and syringe are labeled with a realistic dosage (e.g., 1 mg) and other important information. This is essential for teaching medication verification and proper handling of an emergency medication.
Non-Human Use: All components are simulated and explicitly labeled for instructional use only. They contain no actual drugs, making them safe for use in a classroom or lab setting.
Uses
Severe Hypoglycemia Training: The primary use is to train students and lay responders in the management of severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), particularly in an unconscious patient who cannot take oral glucose.
Medication Reconstitution Practice: It is an essential tool for practicing the quick and accurate reconstitution of a powdered medication, a critical skill in an emergency.
Emergency Administration: The kit allows for hands-on practice of administering an intramuscular injection in a simulated, high-stress scenario.
Patient and Family Education: It is an invaluable resource for teaching patients with diabetes and their families how to use an emergency glucagon kit, which is a life-saving skill.
