With the other hand, pull off the gray (or blue) cap.

Step 3

Hold the black or orange tip close to your child's thigh. Jab the tip firmly into your child's thigh. Jab through clothing if you must, but bare skin is best. The injector should go straight into the skin, at a 90-degree angle to the thigh. Keep the injector in your child's thigh for 10 seconds. The injection is complete. You will see a red flag in the injector window. It is normal for most of the liquid to be left in the injector. Do not try to inject the remaining fluid.

If you do not see a red flag, repeat step 3.

Remove the injector, and place your hand on the area where the medicine entered the skin. Rub the area for about 10 seconds.

Put the used injector, needle-end first, into the storage tube that comes with your injector. Do not bend the needle. Screw on the cap of the storage tube. Take your child to the emergency room, and bring the used injector with you.
