Description:
An innovative approach to eliminating medication errors associated with paralytic agents or Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (NMBAs). ShrinkSafe ID bands are plastic sleeves specific to high-alert medications. They add a forcing function to routine administration by requiring users to remove an additional cover at the point of care. This extra safety step is instrumental in preventing serious life-threatening medication events. With ShrinkSafe, users have both a visual and a tactile alert for paralytic agents. Warm red "Warning" labels and a differentiated 'feel' from traditional injectable drug vials promote safe administration and facilitate compliance to the JCAHO 2004 National Patient Safety Goals.
