Nomination Description Overview:
Codonics Safe Label System (SLS) is the first and only FDA Class II medication safety device of its kind, transforming medication labeling in high-risk perioperative settings. Used in over 16,000 ORs, SLS reduces vial/ampoule swaps, mislabeling, and syringe swaps. Clinicians scan the vial barcode and receive real-time audio/visual confirmation before drawing up medication. SLS then prints a full-color, Joint Commission-compliant label, ready to apply to the syringe. Each label includes a barcode for electronic documentation (Epic/Cerner) and syringe pump integration. Trusted globally, SLS has been used in 281+ million drug preparations and has helped prevent 2.1+ million medication errors.
