EXHIBIT A <br /> RULES AND PROTOCOLS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF NALOXONE <br /> 1. To help with tracking at each partner organization, it is required that the Recipient <br /> Organization has an internal staff member act as the designated Naloxone Liaison. This <br /> individual will take on the role of tracking naloxone distribution and use and employee <br /> training within their organization. If the Naloxone Liaison leaves the partner organization <br /> or assumes a new position, it will be their responsibility or the responsibility of their <br /> supervisor to select a new liaison,train them, and inform the contact at SHD so <br /> operations can continue smoothly. <br /> 2. The Naloxone Liaison must maintain an up-to-date roster including all employees that <br /> carry naloxone,the dose number of the naloxone assigned to each individual, its <br /> expiration date, and its lot number. This roster must also include the dose number, <br /> expiration date and lot number of reserve replacement kits in their possession. It is the <br /> responsibility of the Naloxone Liaison to track this information on the roster for each <br /> dose as it is given out to each employee. The Naloxone Liaison is also responsible for <br /> maintaining an accurate roster as new staff members are administered kits, and as <br /> members leave the organization and turn in their kits to be reassigned(if the dose is not <br /> nearing its expiration date). Additionally,the Naloxone Liaison should update the roster <br /> when doses are used or expired and are replaced with reserve doses. The Naloxone <br /> Liaison must provide this up-to-date information to SHD every quarter, even if no <br /> changes occurred during that period. <br /> 3. The Naloxone Liaison will separately track when naloxone doses have been used to <br /> reverse an overdose. For each overdose incident, SHD will ask for the name of the officer <br /> who administered the naloxone, the date of administration, the case number,the number <br /> of police department doses used in the incident, and if the use of naloxone resulted in the <br /> reversal of an overdose or not. This information will be requested quarterly. <br /> 4. After the naloxone is delivered to the Recipient Organization, it should be stored at <br /> between 59°F to 77°F.Naloxone nasal spray may be stored for short periods up to 104°F. <br /> Do not store naloxone nasal spray in a car on hot summer days. Do not freeze or leave <br /> naloxone nasal spray in a car during the winter. Naloxone nasal spray may not be as <br /> effective if it is not stored properly. If naloxone nasal spray gets frozen or is stored at <br /> 104°F for long periods of time, it should be replaced. Only discard the naloxone nasal <br /> spray once you have a replacement, as it is better to use improperly stored naloxone than <br /> not have any naloxone at all. <br /> 5. Recipient Organization agrees to return and release all doses of naloxone four months <br /> within their expiration date to SHD for redistribution into the community. It is understood <br /> and agreed that Snohomish Health District may in its discretion redistribute the unexpired <br /> doses to other agencies for use. <br /> NOTICE: The naloxone that is purchased by the Snohomish Health District on behalf of cities <br /> and towns expires 36 months after its manufacturing date. As a significant number of naloxone <br /> doses purchased for this program go unused during the duration they are in the possession of <br /> first responders, the Snohomish Health District has created a community-based redistribution <br /> program for doses within four months of their expiration date. The naloxone doses your city or <br />
