                                                     WARNING

                               If the casualty has a thin lateral thigh muscle,
                               the injection must be administered in the upper
                               outer quadrant of the buttocks.
                  D.  Use dominant hand and grasp autoinjector with needle extending
                  beyond thumb and index finger.
                  E.  Use other hand to pull safety cap off autoinjector base.

                                                     WARNING

                                   Do NOT cover or hold the black (needle)
                                   end with your hand or fingers.


                  F. Position black end of CANA autoinjector perpendicular against
                  injection site (thigh or buttocks).













                                                  FIGURE 2.

                                                    WARIIING

                               DO NOT inject into areas close to the hip, knee
                               or thigh bone. For buttocks Injections, inject the
                               antidote only into the upper outer portion of the
                               casualty's buttocks. This avoids hitting the nerve
                               that crosses the buttock. If this nerve is hit, it
                               can cause paralysis.

                  G.  Inject casualty by applying firm even pressure to injector until
                  injector activates and pushes needle through clothes into injection
                  site. Hold injector in place for at least 10 seconds.      (You should be
                  able to feel the autoinjector activate.)
