ColorSafe IV Lines® Details
Currently all IV lines used in hospitals are clear and indistinguishable from each other. This makes it difficult to differentiate each line from the next, causing precious moments to be lost and mistakes to be made. Our patented product, ColorSafe IV Lines®, provides a solution to this problem.ColorSafe IV Lines® reduce hospital's risk and liability exposure to tragic, yet avoidable medical mistakes. Statistics show that over 770,000 patients are injured every year because of medication errors. Over 50% of medication errors are made via the intravenous route. Utilizing our patented colored IV lines will make it easier for the nursing team to safely identify and administer multiple medications, reducing costly medical errors.ICU nurses face very high workloads caring for multiple patients with immediate life-threatening problems. ICU patients require continuous complex monitoring and rapid assessment. Nurses are also caring for for multiple patients. Now take into account that ICU nurses administer the most potent (high-risk) intravenous therapies. It is not uncommon for ICU patients to have as many as 20+ medications infusing simultaneously. The high demands placed on nurses too often exceed their capacity to function without making errors. Errors in administering intravenous medications are most of the time human errors. ColorSafe IV Lines® Lines offer a practical approach to reducing IV line mix-ups.
