CODONICS Safe Label System

The Codonics Safe Label System (SLS) 550i is used by anesthesia providers in the operating room (OR) to simplify complex OR medication and administration processes as well as help improve medication safety and Joint Commission labeling requirements by providing electronic medication safety checks as well as drug-specific syringe labels. Essential characteristics include the following:

• Verifies the drug and concentration based on an NDC scan of a vial/ampoule
• Provides visual and audible safety check to help reduce human error
• Simultaneously produces an easy-to-read, ready-to-apply syringe label that helps to comply with TJC requirements and ASA guidelines
• Medication labels include a barcode that enables integration with AIMS/EHR for electronic documentation at administration using SLS-WAVE
• Supports the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) recommendation to provide a mechanism at anesthetizing locations that identifies medications before drawing them up and administering them, such as a barcode reader
• Every SLS system can be monitored over the network to provide near real-time notifications for key events such as Low Ink or No Labels via the Administration Tool software
• Prints labels for IV lines, invasive monitor lines and other OR needs on demand
• Class II medical device

Compatibility:

The Codonics SLS is fully compatible with the BD Pyxis Anesthesia Stations which are maintained by Pharmacy and used to track medication inventories and expiration dates and to verify administration records.
