Codonics and Plexus TG Strengthen Partnership with Integrated Anesthesia Safety Technology
CLEVELAND, OH, August 3, 2017 (codonics.com) Codonics Inc., a global leader in award-winning patient safety and image documentation solutions, and Plexus Technology Group, LLC (Plexus TG), a market-leading, best-of-breed provider of Anesthesia Information Management Systems (AIMS), strengthens their partnership by elevating Plexus TG to a valueadded reseller for Codonics Safe Label System® (SLS). Fully integrated, customers will now be able to source the Codonics SLS with Anesthesia Touch and Pharmacy Touch together. This combination provides customers with the ability to “close the loop” from preparation to administration, providing secure drug inventory, safe and compliant barcoded syringe labeling, complete reconciliation and automated charging.
Trusted by the world’s leading hospitals as the standard of care for medication safety, Codonics innovative solution is an FDA Class II medication device and is installed in more than 5,000 operating rooms worldwide. SLS combines barcode identification of drug vials, audible and visual confirmation of drug preparations, compliant labeling of prepared medications, and verification of the prepared medication prior to patient administration in real time to eliminate the most prevalent human errors, such as vial/ampoule swaps, mislabeling, and syringe swaps. Used at the point-of-care, SLS consolidates pharmacy best practices and hospital policy to help the healthcare professional reduce medication errors and consistently meet safety and compliance objectives. Its system of double checks, audible alerts, and easy-to read, compliant labels reduces common drug errors made during medication preparation and administration, helping to reduce adverse drug events, morbidity, and extended patient-stay times.
“We are delighted to offer Codonics SLS with Plexus TG’s Anesthesia Touch™ and Pharmacy Touch™ products to our customers as a fully integrated solution, offering a complete answer for barcode medication verification of bolus meds at the point of care in the operating room,” said Tony Mira, CEO of Plexus Technology Group. “It has been a pleasure working with the team at Codonics and we look forward to teaming up together on future projects.”
