WARNING REGARDING EPIPEN DEVICE MALFUNCTION

The FDA is alerting patients, caregivers and health care professionals that EpiPen 0.3 mg and EpiPen Jr 0.15 mg auto-injectors, and the authorized generic versions, may potentially have delayed injection or be prevented from properly injecting due to:

1. Device failure from spontaneous activation caused by using sideways force to remove the blue safety release.

2. Device failure from inadvertent or spontaneous activation due to a raised blue safety release.

3. Difficulty removing the device from the carrier tube.

4. User errors.

Check to see if your device slides easily out of the container and the blue cap is firmly in place and not raised. Please check the link for further information:
https://bit.ly/2UHBTsh

Proper use: When using your auto-injector: REMEMBER "BLUE SKY ORANGE THIGH"

1. Hold it in your fist with the ORANGE END POINTING DOWN.

2. Pull the BLUE CAP straight up to remove the top and do not force it sideways. Verify the injectors slide easily out of the storage case and verify the BLUE safety release is not raised.

3. During the pandemic, we recommend FOR SYMPTOMS OF ANAPHYLAXIS: GIVE EPI, OBSERVE IN PLACE, MONITOR IF STABLE AND IMPROVING; DO NOT CALL 911 immediately.

If there is a problem with your EpiPen or generic equivalent auto-injector please contact your doctor as alternatives are available. It is vital to have your lifesaving product work as designed in an emergency situation. Please take a minute to make sure your injector does not have this malfunction If you are unsure how to use your emergency medication or have other concerns, this a great time to schedule a telehealth visit to review your allergies and emergency action plan!

Dr. Raphael Strauss talks about COVID and children with asthma. He is a trusted resource for all families!

Dr. Strauss says the recommendation is for kids and adults to take their asthma controller medications as recommended by their doctors. If you are looking to schedule an appointment with the team at Strauss Allergy and Asthma, he recommends visits by telehealth, when possible, rather than office visits for evaluation of kids and adults who have concerns.

Attention patients: Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan Change

To our Strauss Allergy & Asthma patients,

OUR OFFICE IS GOING VIRTUAL!

Welcome to the new age of medicine. Although we are closing our physical offices temporarily, we will still be available to you using this new tool. Starting today, we will be available during office hours for TELEHEALTH visits via our AnyTime Pediatrics App. You can download the app (available to kids AND adults) here, http://bit.ly/38J7pet and we will be doing our visits face to face on your cell phone or computer. Our practice code is 4271. Most insurances are now covering these visits and we will try to help you navigate this new platform.

The decision to close our physical offices is not a decision we made lightly. We take your personal health and safety very seriously as well as our own staff and their families. The benefits of doing a virtual visit outweighs the lack of our ability to do examination and testing in the office at this time. Call us and we will set up a convenient appointment that you can do right at home! If you already have a visit scheduled we can switch that to a telehealth visit, but you must register on the app as well and call to confirm. The phones may be busy so kindly leave a message and we will call you back as soon as we are able.

At this time we will be suspending all food and medication challenges, oral immunotherapy, allergy shots, and in-office visits. If you are on a biologic injectable medication given in our office please call us so we can help put a plan in place. We understand this can be very frustrating for all of you but we could never predict the extent this has already impacted our communities.

Know that we are thinking of you and hoping you stay healthy and strong. Remember to take care of your mental and physical health and model good behavior for your children during this time of stress. We look forward to seeing you online until we can meet again in person.

Stay safe,

Drs. Kreiner, Ahmad, Strauss, and The Strauss Allergy and Asthma Staff
