Codonics award-winning Safe Label System (SLS) is the world’s leading solution for safe, compliant, and fast medication labeling — anywhere medications are prepared! An FDA Class 2 medication safety system, SLS uses barcode technology to improve safety, compliance and efficiency during medication preparation. SLS helps to eliminate vial and ampoule swaps, mislabeling, and syringe swaps in the OR or anywhere medications are prepared.
The system has two unique components. The Administration Tool (AT) software is used in the pharmacy while the SLS hardware is deployed to the point of care — like the OR — and brings pharmacy and anesthesia together to better manage medication use to improve patient safety.
SLS Administration Tool
At the heart of the SLS is the Administration Tool (AT), an easy-to-use software application for formulary management in pharmacy. The AT allows pharmacy to easily create and control a drug formulary. As a formulary builder, the AT enables formularies specific to OR, SICU, PICU, ICU and other patient care areas to be enterprise networked for easy access at every SLS system, expanding pharmacy’s scope of influence without having to have a pharmacist present everywhere medications are prepared.
Pharmacy oversight in the OR
Never before has it been easier to empower every medication preparation area with pharmacy-level oversight and compliance. The AT allows pharmacy to easily create and control a drug formulary, including site-approved medications, concentrations and rules for use, expanding pharmacy’s scope of influence to the point of medication preparation.
