The Problem: Medical & Medication Errors
53% of IV medications have errors
58% of those errors are due to IV-line labeling
- Injectable medications are among the most at-risk for error
- Encourages communication between patients, their support system and healthcare providers
- All infusion therapy lines look the same
- Tape or stickers provide limited or confusing information
- Tape or stickers can also be an infection risk
THE SOLUTION: Label the Lines!
· Safen tags Improved communication and situational awareness for staff, patients, patient’s family and support system
· Triangular shape and color signals medications most often involved in IV medication mistakes
· Icons and labels are instantly visible to care providers, even in high-stress situations.
· Space to write on the reverse side supports communication needs.
· Intentionally designed to be a simple, intuitive, “No-Tech” solution. No alarms or computer interface.
· Eliminates the need for highly contaminated tapes and ink markers.
· Easily cleaned with traditional surface disinfectants.
· Reduces IV Medication errors by supplying immediate visual line identification long with a clearly printed “DO NOT FLUSH” reminder on the blinatumomab tag.
· Full line of snap-on identifiers include High Alert Medication Tags, Non-High Alert Medication Tags and Specialty Medication Tags.
