If your operation maintains and administers unassigned epinephrine
auto-injectors to use when a child in care has an emergency anaphylaxis
reaction, you must:
(1) Adopt and implement a written policy that complies
with the unassigned epinephrine auto-injector requirements set by
the Texas Department of State Health Services, as specified in 25
TAC Chapter 40, Subchapter C (relating to Epinephrine Auto-Injector
Policies in Youth Facilities) and Texas Health and Safety Code §773.0145;
and
(2) Notify the child's parent, immediately after ensuring
the safety of the child, if the child has had an emergency anaphylaxis
reaction that required administration of an unassigned epinephrine
auto-injector.
