Proper remote drug delivery must be delivered to the O-Zone™ injection site. Pneu-Dart recommends consistently delivering an appropriate sized practice device to a six-inch target before attempting to deliver any medication remotely.  The species neutral O-Zone™ is on the side of the neck forward of the shoulder.

Pneu-Dart, Inc. does not condone nor promote the extra-label use of veterinary pharmaceuticals unless on order and under supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Remote Drug Delivery education is highly recommended and offered by Pneu-Dart [education.pneudart.com]. Pneu-Dart supports proper and judicious use of our products including but not limited to the following:

  • Establish a “VCPR” (Veterinarian Client Patient Relationship) prior to delivering any medication to any animal.
  • Always verify drug volume and cannula (needle) length before administering any medication to any animal.
  • Do not shake or drop RDDs (darts) as they could activate prematurely.
  • Practice with Remote Drug Delivery (RDD) devices equal in size and weight prior to  delivering any medication to any animal.
  • Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place and away from children.
  • Wear gloves when handling medication and always hold equipment away from face.
  • Never top off or mix medications unless directed by your veterinarian.
  • Do not prefill RDDs more than 90 minutes prior to delivery.
  • The use of projector’s with mechanically adjustable power control settings to influence the muzzle velocity and impact speeds is essential when delivering medication remotely.
  • Do not refrigerate
  • Upon recovery of a delivered RDD; should you wish to check for full deployment, insert a 19 gauge hypodermic  needle into the cannula of the RDD.  When deployed properly the  hypodermic needle will face resistance just inside the drug containment chamber. [See video below]
  • Use caution and dispose of each spent RDD in accordance with local,  regional, national, territorial, provincial and international regulation.
  • Eye protection should be used at all times.

User acknowledges and accepts any and all liability when using this product. Extreme caution should be present at all times.

Should you wish to check your RDD for full deployment here's how.
