Subject: Boxed Epinephrine 1mg/10mL Syringes

Epinephrine syringes are currently on backorder. Beginning today at HH Main, please add 1 boxed epinephrine 1 mg/10 mL syringe and 5 "EPI Kits" to each ADULT code tray when refilling them.
 
Pediatric code trays will continue to have 4  boxed epinephrine syringes and ZERO "EPI Kits".
 
The premade "EPI kits" will not be tagged with Kitcheck tags. We have adjusted the Kitcheck settings to complete a scan AKA obtain a green check mark for a shortage range of 1-6 boxed epi syringes. Pharmacists will have to add the 5 "epi kits" after scanning the adult code tray's contents through kitcheck until this backorder resolves.
