WHAT IS ?
neffy is a nasal spray used for emergency treatment of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, in adults and children aged 4 years and older who weigh 33 lbs or greater
It is important to practise giving an adrenaline device. Using a neffy® trainer is a great way to do this. It contains no medication and can be reused. (unlike the actual neffy® used in an emergency which contains only one dose of adrenaline and cannot be reused).
The neffy® trainer device is dark grey. The real neffy® device which contains adrenaline is white.
It is very easy to press the plunger on the neffy® trainer. This is different to the real neffy® where the plunger must be pressed HARD.
The neffy® trainer device must be cleaned if it has been put in a person’s nose before putting it in another person’s nose. This will reduce the chance of spreading infection. It should be wiped with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Allow the alcohol to dry before putting the neffy® trainer in the nose to avoid irritation.
If you are concerned about spreading infection from nose to nose when using the neffy® trainer, you may choose to put the neffy® trainer on the outside of the nose instead. Make sure you still point the neffy® trainer in the correct direction. Remember when using the real neffy® it must be inserted into the nose.
