rightMEDlabel Inventors
In the preoperative setting, human errors in the medication labeling can have significant human and financial consequences.
The U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP) has determined that many of operating room medication errors occurred because of unauthorized or improper drug use, with many of the events resulting in harm to the patient. Consequently, USP gave the directive to improve the medication labeling.
Developed by operating room nurses, this labeling technolgy IP is protected under US Patent No. 7815123.
“As soon as commercially available, hospitals should obtain as many products in sterile, ready-to-use packaging as soon as possible.” – The U.S. Pharmacopoeia
Reduction in Medication Errors.
rightMEDlabels safeguard against medication errors that could result in billions of dollars in industry litigation fees. Even one medication error can damage a reputation and adversely impact a bottom line for years to come.
The rightMEDlabel system is a common-sense solution that reduces opportunities for errors in labeling in the sterile field. The rightMEDlabel system contains triplicate, fan-folded sterile labels pre-printed with all medication information required to be compliant with USP, The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN). The labels are attached to original medication vials and other containers in a sterilized peel pouch for immediate use in the sterile field.
