❤️ An invention born in Mayo that could help save a life.

We caught up with Darren Forde of Eco Powered Cabinets in studio with Tommy to hear the story behind the EMK Anaphylaxis Unit — and how it has now been adapted to store the new needle-free Nasal Adrenaline Spray.

Named in memory of Emma, Michael and Kathleen, the EMK is manufactured in Ballina and is designed with one very important purpose in mind: helping provide rapid access to potentially life-saving treatment in an emergency.

We were delighted to welcome Darren Forde, founder of Eco Powered Cabinets, into the studio with Tommy to chat about an incredible Mayo innovation with the potential to make a real difference.

Darren and his team have adapted their EMK Anaphylaxis Unit to store the new needle-free Nasal Adrenaline Spray, providing an alternative emergency treatment for severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis.

The EMK — named in memory of Emma, Michael and Kathleen, who tragically lost their lives following allergic reactions — is manufactured locally by Collins Plastics in Ballina and is currently patent pending.

Thanks to Darren for joining Tommy and sharing the story behind the EMK and the work being done to help keep people safe.
