OCEMS source summary · Updated 2026-09-16

Scope & authority

  • FS-ARN scope only; this listing is not a general ALS/BLS administration order.
  • SO-F-02 supplies no pediatric field regimen.

Adult / adolescent

  • SO-F-02 permits an authorized Fire Service RN to maintain this listed OTC product/category while functioning in the fire-service role. It is made available to firefighting personnel without a known allergy to the product.
  • The source directs use for the indications and at the doses on the actual container. It does not publish a universal EMS dose for this product. Eligible personnel obtain the medication from its container without assistance.

Pediatric

  • SO-F-02 is an adult/adolescent fire-service personnel program, not a pediatric 9-1-1 standing order. No pediatric dose or administration authority is established by this source.
  • Do not convert a package’s consumer pediatric directions into OCEMS field authority. Use an applicable pediatric standing order or medical direction for a child requiring care.

Pediatric dosing availability

  • SO-F-02 supplies no pediatric 9-1-1 dosing or administration authority. This page does not add consumer pediatric doses.

Use, monitoring & documentation

  • Identify the exact product, active ingredients, strength, and label before use; products in a named OTC category can have different formulations.
  • Follow the product’s labeled indications, exclusions, dose, and interval within the authorized program. The absence of an EMS numerical dose here is intentional: SO-F-02 delegates those details to the product label.
