Standards Development
This document gives requirements for labels attached to syringes so that the contents can be identified just before use during anaesthesia. It covers the colour, size, design and general properties of the label and the typographical characteristics of the wording for the drug name.
NOTE National or regional regulations might require additional labelling, which can include bar coding. No requirements for this additional labelling are given.
Confusing types and amounts of drugs given by syringes is known to be a relevant part of the incidents when treating patients. To reduce the amount of these incidents an unambiguous labelling of syringes supports the choice of the correct medicine. The safety of patients and a proper workflow for the treating personal is supported by this WI.
