Product Features:
The DuoDote auto-injector should be administered by emergency medical services personnel who have had adequate training in the recognition and treatment of nerve agent or insecticide intoxication. It is intended as an initial treatment of the symptoms of organo phosphorous nerve agent or insecticide poisoning; definitive medical care (eg, hospitalization, respiratory support) should be sought immediately. Individuals should not rely solely upon agents such as atropine and pralidoxime to provide complete protection from organo phosphorous nerve agents and insecticide poisoning. Primary protection against exposure to organo phosphorous nerve agents and insecticides is the wearing of protective garments, including masks designed specifically for this use. Evacuation and decontamination procedures should be undertaken as soon as possible. Medical personnel assisting evacuated victims of organo phosphorous nerve agent or insecticide poisoning should avoid contaminating themselves by exposure to the victims’ clothing.
