To prevent leakage, reduce the pressure inside the bottles by piercing them with a sterile needle
prior to mounting a bottle on the device. Hold the FreVAX™ device upside down when mounting
a new bottle.
Releasing the trigger of the FreVAX™ device will immediately switch off all controls, making it
impossible to give an injection.
When expelling residual vaccine or rinsing fluid from the device, always position the injection
nozzles on a cloth in a receptacle placed on a firm base. Never inject into the air.
If the safety cylinders remain jammed around the injection nozzles after firing, immediately
release the trigger of the FreVAX™ device and contact your supplier.
Operating the FreVAX™ device for a longer period of time may induce cramps in the operator’s
hands. Regular breaks are recommended.
