CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"Companies who win the MDEA award truly deliver exceptional products. MDEA is a prestigious honor for product innovation that is especially significant because the recipients are selected by peers of the industry."

"Innovations like Codonics Safe Label System did not exist when my two-year-old daughter, Emily died from an accidental overdose. SLS scans vial barcodes and produces "smart" labels that include concentration and volume, reducing human error in the course of treatment. I am convinced Emily would still be with us today if SLS had been part of her care."

Christopher Jerry, President
The Emily Jerry Foundation

"Given the risks inherent to most perioperative medications, manual management-including stocking, tracking, labeling, dilution, and administration-is rife with potential for error. Mistakes made in the OR have a high potential for patient harm, so it is particularly important to introduce standardization and automation in this environment. Likewise, taking into account the number of different healthcare practitioners working in the perioperative setting, it is vital that these groups work together cohesively utilizing common technologies. At Texas Children's Hospital, automation for the management of anesthesia, including preparation via SLS with its innovative "smart" labels, has addressed our points of risk and has improved medication safety in the perioperative setting enabling us to provide the best and safest level of care to our patients."

Gee Mathen, BS, Assistant Director of Pharmacy for Application and Technical Services

"SLS presents a huge opportunity to improve patient safety and labeling compliance. SLS visually displays and audibly states the drug name and concentration when the drug is drawn up, produces a highly legible, durable and compliant label, and acts as a second set of eyes to help reduce human error. And as a triple check, the barcode on the syringe can be scanned into the anesthesia information system prior to administering it to the patient. Our personnel found SLS very easy to use. It actually makes our work more efficient, as well as safer."

T. Andrew Bowdle MD, PhD, Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist, University of Washington Medical Center

"SLS is deployed in our ORs, anesthesia areas and in our medical / surgical unit where it is seamlessly integrated with our EMR for barcoding at the bedside. We can quickly, conveniently and accurately label our medications for syringes and IVs anywhere. SLS has improved patient safety and become an invaluable tool for our clinicians."

"In a short time since implementing the Pyxis Anesthesia System and the Codonics Safe Label System, our clinicians have reported numerous safety and workflow enhancements. Among them, we have experienced less variability in the medication administration process and enhanced verification methods, which have helped prevent dosage errors."

"The evaluation of the Codonics bar code label device is going quite well. We actually have 100% satisfaction with this application. I am very impressed with this device and it solves a lot of issues created by the Joint Commission and other review authorities. I think that this device belongs in every operating room and PACU as well as in every other unit where parenteral medications are administered."

"As a pharmacist, I have worked with many formularies. By far, SLS AT redefines "user friendly". Formulary updates are truly effortless and instantaneous, pushed over the network to every 500i real time, providing pharmacy with the confidence in knowing that the data being used by our ORs is always correct and complete."

"At Texas Children's Hospital, my team has been leveraging Omnicell's Anesthesia Workstation in conjunction with Codonics Safe Label System for the last six months. Utilizing the systems together, they provide the anesthesiology team a more efficient and safe mechanism for accessing and labeling medications. We have partnered with the Anesthesiology Quality Committee department and identified strategies to minimize opportunities for medication-related incidents and believed coupling these pieces of technology should be a part of the plan."

Karen Gurwitch
Director of Pharmacy

"The use of the Codonics Safe Label System in conjunction with RIVA has allowed Mission Hospitals to produce color-coded anesthesia syringes consistent with the American Society of Anesthesiologists recommendations. Without the Codonics system, we would not have obtained buy-in from our anesthesia group. The color-coding of syringes adds a level of patient safety that is paramount when practicing anesthesiology."
