- Comes with 2 Free sets of non-toxic, plant-based phase change material (PCM) inserts made by PureTemp – wonderful technology chosen to harness the appropriate heat exchange index to regulate the temperature inside the case within recommended range (59° – 86° F or 15° – 30° C)
- Leave your autoinjector (up to 3 Epipens or 4 Auvi Q) inside the case (7 x 4 x 2 inches) at room temperature as the included PCM recharges and easily carry it around as it hooks to a belt with the included carabiner or as it fits nicely into your bag or backpack
- Quickly exchange the PCM inserts according to the appropriate temperature or weather climate outside after recharging them at room temperature without having to use batteries or any electronic equipment
- Be proud of displaying the pouch as one of 3 attractive colors (Teal, Green, Gray) and when your friends ask what it is, take the opportunity to educate them and advocate about your food allergies; This innovative EPI-TEMP idea designed by a teenager with food allergies, won the 2017 FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) Young Innovator Award; Makes a great gift for friends and family who suffer from food allergies

The Carrying Case or Pouch
The EPI-TEMP pouch is lightweight, soft but sturdy, made of thick opaque light-protecting neoprene material and measures a compact 7 x 4 x 2 inches when fully expanded and accommodates up to 3 Epipens or Auvi-Qs. It is available in 3 brilliant colors: TEAL, GREEN, GRAY
The front neoprene pocket and the transparent back pocket can house important allergy-related information such as a food allergy action plan or medication product inserts.
About Phase Change Material (PCM)
Phase change materials (PCM) are substances that absorb and release thermal energy during the process of melting and freezing. When a PCM freezes, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of latent heat at a relatively constant temperature. Conversely, when such material melts, it absorbs a large amount of heat from the environment. PCMs recharge as ambient temperatures fluctuate, making them ideal for a variety of everyday applications that require temperature control.
How it all works
The included 2 sets of interchangeable PCMs (1 set for HOT weather and 1 set of COLD weather) are inserted in the inside mesh pockets and keep the inside temperature within the range (59° – 86° F or 15° – 30° C) of permitted excursion temperatures for epinephrine for up to 2 hours of continued exposure to outside ambient temperatures.
Recharging
The PCMs are rechargeable without the use of batteries – Just take them back to room temperature for 20-25 minutes or for a quick recharge run or soak them under room temperature tap water for about 5-10 minutes.
