Vaccine Labeling
Efficient and Compliant Vaccine Labeling
for COVID-19 and Beyond
Overview
Codonics Safe Label System (SLS) simplifies the process of vaccine distribution and tracking, helping healthcare teams manage the complexities of vaccine administration with ease. With SLS, there is no need for formulary management or IT infrastructure investment—getting started is quick and easy, without the typical upfront IT lift. Whether for COVID-19 vaccinations or future immunizations, the SLS for vaccine labeling ensures compliance with safety guidelines, helps reduce manual errors, and streamlines the vaccination process.
Custom Vaccine Labeling Made Easy
The SLS allows healthcare teams to immediately generate critical vaccine documentation with ease:
- Custom Beyond-Use Date (BUD) Labels: Include specific storage temperature ranges and BUD for each vaccine vial.
- Custom Vial and Syringe Label Templates: Automatically include lot numbers and other relevant vaccine information.
- Vaccination Record Labeling: Provide a comprehensive vaccination record that includes the manufacturer, date of administration, and next-dose reminders for patients.
Eliminating the need for handwritten labels, complex formulary management, and requirements for additional IT infrastructure, the SLS solution ensures safety, accuracy, and speed in the vaccination process.
No Handwriting, Just Safety and Efficiency
Safe Label System ensures that vaccine labeling is clear, easy to read, and compliant with safety standards. By automating vaccine labeling, SLS eliminates the risks of illegible handwriting and reduces human error. Labels are automatically generated with critical information, providing a complete documentation trail that can be tracked from vaccine procurement through to patient administration.
Beyond Use Date Labeling: Full Control of Storage Information
SLS custom label designs allow healthcare facilities to print labels with precise storage temperature ranges and BUD, ensuring that each facility controls the vaccine’s storage parameters. These labels are critical for maintaining the potency and safety of vaccines, especially when managing large quantities for distribution.
Vaccine Syringes and Vials: Accurate Tracking from Procurement to Administration
SLS reads the NDC (National Drug Code) from the vaccine vial and prints multiple labels that include the lot number, ensuring full traceability. This feature is essential for tracking vaccines from procurement all the way through to administration, supporting compliance and safeguarding patient safety.
Vaccination Record Labeling: Simple and Comprehensive
SLS makes it easy to document each vaccination with clear, easy-to-read vaccination record labels. These labels include the manufacturer, date of administration, and next-dose reminders, ensuring patients receive timely follow-up and boosting vaccination completion rates.
Meets ISMP Guidelines for Medication Safety
Codonics Safe Label System is fully aligned with ISMP’s Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals, particularly Guideline 18, which encourages the use of barcode verification prior to medication and vaccine administration. By incorporating barcode labeling into the vaccine workflow, SLS helps maximize safety by ensuring the right vaccine is given to the right patient, every time.
Specialized Label Templates for Every Need
- Single Syringes or Batch Syringes: Automatically print labels with the vaccine lot number for both individual and batch syringes.
- Storage and BUD Information: Include specific temperature range and BUD for proper vaccine storage.
- Vaccination Record and Next-Dose Reminders: Ensure complete and accurate vaccination records for each patient, with automated next-dose reminders.
Chain of Custody and Full Traceability
Using the Safe Label System labels for COVID enabled us to capture the chain of custody of each vial with a unique barcode from procurement through administration.
