HOW TO USE BUZZY®

Training, resources, and everything you need to fight needle phobia and cope
with pain using Buzzy


HOW TO USE BUZZY®




FREEZE ICE WINGS

Wings will stay frozen 10 minutes at room temperature. For best pain relief, the
wings must be frozen solid to avoid absorbing vibration.


ATTACH WINGS TO BUZZY®

For the mini, place the hole in the ice wings over the hook on the back of
Buzzy. For the XL, slide the ice wings through the elastic strap on the back of
Buzzy.


PLACE BUZZY®

Once Buzzy is being held in place either by a strap, tourniquet, or by hand,
press the button or switch on the top of Buzzy. The Buzzy Mini has an automatic
shut-off feature after 3 minutes.


TURN BUZZY® ON

Place Buzzy directly on the site of the injection for 30-60 seconds, then move
up (with power switch up/farthest away from site) and hold/secure. Buzzy works
best when it’s between the pain and the brain.

CLEANING PROCEDURE




PERSONAL BUZZY AND WINGS

Personal products are intended to be used by a single user. The Buzzy® vibration
unit can be cleaned with alcohol based sanitation wipes. Do not autoclave. Do
not submerse in liquid. Soiled wings should be disposed and replaced.


HEALTHCARE BUZZY AND WINGS

Buzzy® and healthcare wings are reusable. They should be cleaned with alcohol
based cleaning wipes or by following your facility’s infection control protocol
for non-critical equipment such as stethoscopes or patient monitors. Do not
autoclave. Do not immerse in liquid. Healthcare wings are the only wings that
can be cleaned between patients. Soft-sided wings should be disposed after use.


OPTIMAL BUZZY PLACEMENT



When treating an ache or injury, Buzzy should go directly where it hurts. When
injecting, Buzzy should go directly on the intended needle site, then be moved
proximally during the procedure. When using Buzzy for IV access or a blood draw
or fingerstick, just place Buzzy proximally immediately prior to and during the
procedure. For more details see below.


ARM PLACEMENT

To place “proximally” for IVs and during the actual painful procedure (splinter
removal, cleaning a wound, injection, IV, etc.) means Buzzy needs to go “between
the brain and the pain” to be effective. In other words, Buzzy should be placed
along the path of the nerve to best interrupt the pain signals’ journey from
your skin to the brain. The nerves travel in territories called “dermatomes”. If
you’ve ever seen shingles, the very abrupt outlines of the rash come because
shingles affects skin by irritating the nerves in one or more dermatomes. This
picture shows Buzzy optimally placed to decrease pain in the C6 dermatome.


ABDOMINAL PLACEMENT

Dermatome pathways are fairly straightforward on the hands and arms, as they go
straight down from the shoulder. Other places on the body, the regions get a
little more complicated. This diagram shows positioning of Buzzy for a procedure
on the line between T10 and T11. Imagine the nerves coming out from the spine
and wrapping horizontally around the stomach and chest. This Buzzy is in great
position for a poke between the bellybutton and Buzzy’s bottom. The skin on the
stomach is thinner than the back or upper arm, so Buzzy® may only need to be in
place 15-30 seconds before moving and doing the procedure.


THIGH PLACEMENT

This shows where Buzzy would go for an injection on the mid-thigh, for example
placement for a Rocephin, Humira, or Enbrel injection. First place Buzzy
directly on the intended site to desensitize the area. Leave in place up to 60
seconds as it’s a more muscular area, then move toward the brain/spine a few
centimeters up and lateral. Keep Buzzy® vibrating in place while the shot is
given. Thighs are a bit tricky, because the dermatomes curve from backside
toward the knee. Again, place on the area where the shot will go, but then slide
a little toward the hip/spine rather than straight up and down. Buzzy’s motor is
at his larger rounded tail end away from the switch, so the bigger rounded end
should be closer to the shot, and Buzzy’s “head” should be closer to the actual
head or spine. Leave the ice pack in place for this whole process if tolerated:
ice adds about 60% of the pain relief.


GLUTEAL PLACEMENT

For gluteal injections, the nerve pathways are very tilted and fairly narrow.
Buzzy XL may be better for this, as it is slightly larger and covers more area.
For a gluteal injection in the upper outer quadrant of the buttock, after
desensitizing the area 60-90 seconds, Buzzy will be angled and slightly closer
to the spine.


FOOT PLACEMENT

Placement of Buzzy for injections in the foot also may be more complicated. In
general, imagine the foot divided lengthwise into three stripes, and place Buzzy
closer to the leg in the same stripe.


FACIAL PLACEMENT

Facial dermatomes come straight from the back of the skull up and over, so Buzzy
placement would be directly vertical for Botox or eyebrow procedures. For upper
lip or mandible procedures, placement slightly above and lateral would be
correct.


ARM PLACEMENT

To place “proximally” for IVs and during the actual painful procedure (splinter
removal, cleaning a wound, injection, IV, etc.) means Buzzy needs to go “between
the brain and the pain” to be effective. In other words, Buzzy should be placed
along the path of the nerve to best interrupt the pain signals’ journey from
your skin to the brain. The nerves travel in territories called “dermatomes”. If
you’ve ever seen shingles, the very abrupt outlines of the rash come because
