The seven drugs are phytonadione injections and pre-filled syringes of calcium chloride, epinephrine, phytonadione, sodium bicarbonate, atropine sulfate, dextrose and lidocaine.

The syringes will contain pre-measured, precise adult doses of the drugs, making them ready for immediate injection.

They are made for use in hospital crash carts and emergency rooms because the pre-measured doses speed up response times and minimize the potential for dosing errors.
