                       Administer Convulsant Antidote for Nerve Agent (CANA)
                                       Using the AutoinJector

                                        STEPS OF PERFORMANCE


              A. Take out the casualty's CANA autoinjector. The CANA autoinjector
              can be distinguished from the Mark I by its clear plastic packaging.
              CANA is not for use as self-aid. If you know who you are and where
              you are, you most likely do not need CANA.


                                               DANGER

                             DO NOT USE YOUR OWN CANA ON THE CASUALTY.


              B. Tear open protective plastic packet by pulling apart the split end
              of the autoinjector.

              C. Determine injection site (thigh or buttocks).   (Outer middle of the
              thigh is preferred.)

                  1. Check casualty's pockets for items that may interfere
              with injector.

                  2. Check size of the casualty's thigh muscle.
