The Jext auto injector comes in two different dosage amounts, however there are no physical differences between the two auto injectors. The first one is a Jext 150, and this is designed for people who way around 15-30 kilos, the Jext 300 is designed for people who weigh over 30 kilos. Looking at the Jext unit itself, there is a yellow cap on the top. Pulling the cap off makes it live, so if you accidentally pulled the cap off when you didn’t mean to use it, carefully put the cap back on without touching the black end, as this is where the needle comes out. On the side of the Jext, you will see easy to read instructions with pictures demonstrating exactly what you should do when using it. The black end of the Jext is where the needle comes out, and there is an arrow which plainly says ‘needle end’, just in case you were not sure. There are two windows on the unit. The first one will either be red or green. Red means its ready to be used, and green means it has already been used. The other window actually lets you see the drug itself. The drug should be clear and colourless. If you looked into the viewing window and there were any precipitates in the liquid, or there was any discolouration, you need to get a new Jext® as soon as possible. The Jext® has a needle shield, meaning there is no chance of needle stick injuries once the needle has injected the drug. The Jext® has a typical shelf life of around two years, dependant on the manufacturer, and you can sign up for an Expiry Alert Service on the Jext® website. However you should check the expiry date as well just to make sure. To replace your Jext® auto injector, either after the expiry date or after use, you have to go to your doctor to get a repeat prescription it is easy to transport and is very light – around the weight of a typical whiteboard marker. So how do you use your Jext® Autoinjector? Make sure that you are sitting down and then hold it in your dominant hand, and make sure that the black end is facing downwards and the yellow cap is on top. Then remove the cap by pulling upwards. Then place the black end against your thigh and push it inwards and slowly count to 10. Then gently pull upwards and the needle will automatically become covered. Rub the area for at least 10 seconds to help the drug to diffuse quickly through your system. Then lay the unit down and make sure you give it to the emergency services when they arrive.

Using Jext Auto-Injector: Anaphylaxis Treatment

Jext Auto-Injector Dosages

Two Dosage Options:

The Jext auto-injector offers two dosage options with no physical differences:

  • Jext 150: Designed for individuals weighing approximately 15-30 kilograms.
  • Jext 300: Designed for individuals weighing over 30 kilograms.

Understanding the Jext Auto-Injector

Activation and Safety:

The Jext unit features a yellow cap on the top. Removing the cap activates the device. If the cap is accidentally removed without intent to use, carefully reattach it without touching the black end, where the needle emerges.

Clear Usage Instructions:

Instructions with illustrative images are provided on the side of the Jext, guiding users through the injection process.

Needle End Identification:

The black end of the Jext is where the needle is located, with a marked arrow indicating 'needle end' for clarity.

Status Indicators:

The Jext unit has two windows:

  • Red: Ready for use
  • Green: Already used

The drug itself can be observed through another window, appearing clear and colourless. Any presence of precipitates or discolouration indicates the need for a replacement Jext.

Shelf Life and Expiry Alert:

A typical Jext auto-injector has a shelf life of approximately two years, manufacturer-dependent. You can sign up for an Expiry Alert Service on the Jext website. Always check the expiry date before use.

Obtaining a Replacement:

To replace your Jext auto-injector, whether it has expired or been used, visit your doctor for a repeat prescription. The Jext is lightweight and easy to transport, similar in weight to a standard whiteboard marker.
