Syringe Epinephrine

All Training Materials can be found at the following:
​MLREMS Syringe Epinephrine Webpage

The pilot program for Check and Inject has been completed and as a result it has been adopted by the SEMAC for statewide use. The following is a statement made by the SEMAC regarding the program. 

"Based on the results of a State Emergency Medical Advisory Committee (SEMAC) demonstration project, the New York State Emergency Medical Service Advisory Council (SEMSCO) approved Syringe Epinephrine for Emergency Medical Technicians (Check & Inject NY) at the September 14, 2016 meeting. The project established that EMTs, with the appropriate training may administer the proper dose of epinephrine for a patient experiencing a severe anaphylactic reaction using a specific 1cc syringe.  Additionally, the project realized a significant cost saving over maintaining epinephrine auto-injectors.  The Commissioner of Health has approved the addition of Syringe Epinephrine and at the request of the SEMAC, this approval includes the intramuscular administration of 1:1000 epinephrine using a 1cc syringe, a 23 gauge, 1 inch intramuscular safety needle and a single dose 1:1000 epinephrine packaged in a 1mg/ml vial as an addition to the scope of practice for an EMT."

​
