Eureka Anaphylaxis Kits

UK Department of Health guidance allows schools to purchase AAIs for emergency use in pupils known to be at risk of anaphylaxis. These should be stored centrally, safely and accessibly, never locked away and must be retrievable within five minutes of a potential incident.

The Eureka Anaphylaxis Kit range has been developed to help schools meet this guidance with confidence. Easy to implement, each kit offers a reliable solution for storing spare AAIs and ensuring staff can quickly locate and use them in an emergency.

This category includes kits with a choice of EpiPen or JEXT auto-injectors, available with or without a wall-mountable AAI Point – a clear, durable storage unit that helps identify the location of emergency devices and keeps them protected yet instantly accessible.

Kits are ideal for both primary and secondary schools, allowing you to select the injector type and quantity most appropriate for your pupils. All injectors are supplied in temperature-controlled packaging to ensure integrity on arrival, with next-working-day delivery available.

Browse the full range below to find the right combination for your school – and support fast, effective anaphylaxis response where it matters most.

Support Allergy Emergencies with Accessible, On-Site AAI Kits

EpiPens and Anaphylaxis Kits In Schools

The Human Medicines Regulations 2017 has allowed primary and secondary schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) devices without a prescription, for emergency use on children who are at risk of anaphylaxis but their own device is not available or not working (e.g. because it is broken, or out-of-date).

Since 2017 we have been trusted to supply thousands of UK Schools with EpiPens and Jext branded Adrenaline Injectors, along with kits and accessories for the correct storage, signposting, logging, maintenance, disposal and usage information, expressly to meet relevant Department of Health guidance.  

We supply EpiPens and other adrenaline injectors in innovative and sustainable temperature controlled packaging to ensure there is minimal delay in receiving emergency pharmaceuticals, with most orders received next working day. 

The number of pupils with allergies or prescribed different types of AAI can vary each year. Our straightforward service facilitates schools to easily order how many pens they need, when they need them, at the same time as other essential supplies.

Please note that AAIs are manufactured with a short use by date due to the nature of the adrenaline within. If you wish to clarify the use by dates of our existing stock before placing your order, please contact our sales department on 0800 358 0085.

Orders for EpiPens and Anaphylaxis Kits must be signed by the Headteacher or Principal. We have made the process as easy as possible to ensure there is no barrier to ordering, and no delay in receiving your supplies.

Fill out our simply AAI supply form either online or download it and scan/email it sales@eurekadirect.co.uk – alternatively phone us on 0800 358 0085 to place your order. Remember, we offer UK schools instant credit.

Why Your School Should Provide Anaphylaxis Kits

There are 26,000 hospital admissions every year in the UK due to anaphylaxis. It is a serious allergic reaction that can be life-threatening and require immediate treatment.

  • Some studies estimate that 40-50% of allergy sufferers do not carry their EpiPen or AAI device on them regularly, despite having a prescription for it.  
  • Many sufferers of anaphylaxis are unaware of a severe allergy until it happens.

Providing back-up or emergency supply of devices on your premises is a simple step to take which could save lives.

Save Lives & Money With Eureka!

Buying emergency devices as and when required is a great way to keep costs down whilst ensuring your school still has adequate lifesaving provisions should an emergency occur.

The number of pupils at risk of anaphylaxis can vary significantly across schools, and change each year. As such, so does the ‘right’ number of backup or emergency devices that may be needed at any one time.

Our anaphylaxis kits provide space for up to 4 emergency adrenaline injectors, so you can stock them appropriately for your school. For total flexibility, we also sell the empty kit boxes and wall points separately, so you can easily add existing emergency EpiPen or JEXT devices to the correct dosage slot and benefit from having clearly marked and accessible anaphylaxis kits on your premises, all at an affordable cost. 

Alternatively, you may simply wish to purchase and hold the emergency devices only in an appropriate place.

Our low prices and fast, free delivery help every school remain agile with the amount of devices they hold without overspending. For this reason, many schools choose to manage their emergency stocks by buying in this way – we’ve supplied over 10,000 UK schools with emergency medical supplies.

Brands of Adrenaline Injector

The Department of Health state:

"Schools are advised to hold an appropriate quantity of a single brand of AAI device to avoid confusion in administration and training. Where all pupils are prescribed the same device, the school should obtain the same brand for the spare AAI. If two or more brands are currently held by the school, the school may wish to purchase the brand most commonly prescribed to its pupils"

EpiPens are currently the most dominant brand of AAI in the UK (hence why many people know AAI's as 'EpiPens'), however we also offer Jext devices to enable schools to make an appropriate brand choice for their school.

Eureka Anaphylaxis Kits accommodate both EpiPen and JEXT devices to provide a flexible solution for the most suitable brand in your school.

Important information about allergic reactions

Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction - it can be fatal if treatment is not given quickly.

Eureka Anaphylaxis kits feature clearly marked slots for 150mg and 300mg dosages to exactly match this categorisation and allow for correct storage of both junior and adult devices in one kit. Ensure that devices are stored in the correct slot that match their dosage when adding devices and performing regular maintenance inspections.
 

Since 1st October 2017, the Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 have allowed primary and secondary schools to buy adrenaline auto-injector (AAl) devices without a prescription, upon receipt of a signed order form from the head teacher.

Anaphylaxis tends to occur straight after coming into contact with a trigger, however it can occur a few hours later. Different people have different triggers.
Common triggers include:

Food

Peanuts, eggs, seafood

Medicines

Penicillin

Insects

Bee or wasp stings

 

AAls are highly intuitive and easy to use devices used for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis.

Different brands of AAls are used in different ways. You MUST follow the instructions provided with your auto-injector.

"In the context of supplying schools with AAIs for use in an emergency setting, using these same age-based criteria avoids the need for multiple devices/ doses, thus reducing the potential for confusion in an emergency. Schools should consider the ages of their pupils at risk of anaphylaxis, when deciding which doses to obtain as the spare AAI." – Department of Health: Guidance on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools

NEW! Pharmaceutical Packaging

No more delays to despatching pharmaceutical items

As part of our licence to distribute pharmaceutical products, we must ensure that pharmaceuticals are not stored in temperatures below 8° or above 25° at any time, including when in transit. We store pharmaceuticals in a specialist temperature-controlled room, but are unable to guarantee temperatures once goods have been despatched. This can cause delays to despatching orders in the winter, when overnight temperatures are often sub-zero, or on hot days in the summer. This is far from ideal given the essential nature of products like back up Adrenaline Injectors and Inhalers for schools.

Temperature controlled packaging is often very expensive and would typically result in significant costs to be passed on. However, as part of our commitment to serve our customers as best as we can, we have found a new innovative solution which enables us to promptly despatch pharmaceutical orders in almost any external conditions AND does not cost our customers a penny more!

Our new packaging for pharmaceutical products is as sustainable as it is effective. It is made using a combination of 100% pure natural sheep wool fibres, and a compostable and biodegradable outer. The packaging ensures that pharmaceuticals are insulated when external temperatures are cold and chilled when the weather is warm, all the way from our warehouse until being delivered to your door.

Please note that AAI devices are shipped separately to other elements which are not pharmaceutical, such as the boxes and wall mounted points. We do not charge for this; all delivery is fast and FREE!
