Multisensory Drug Preparation Trainer
PP3M Drug Particle Resuspension
Janssen
Background
“Shake vigorously”? But how vigorous is vigorous enough?
When a new drug includes an instruction in the IFU to shake vigorously, this novel Training Device gives the user confidence they are doing things correctly.
Janssen had developed a new long-acting drug formulation which included suspended particles that settle in storage. To re-suspend the particles users were instructed to vigorously shake the pre-filled syringe prior to injection.
This precision, electromechanical trainer complements the IFU. It communicates the important ‘shake step’ in the pre-injection preparation cycle by letting the user know their shake is correct by using multisensory feedback features to make the learning experience fun, engaging and memorable.
