In today’s high-acuity hospital environments, IV tube labeling is a critical yet often neglected workflow. Manual labeling practices expose hospitals to risks ranging from medication errors to infection, survey findings, and staff burnout. That’s why forward-thinking institutions are turning to Vigilant’s Verify platform—an automated IV tube labeling solution that’s revolutionizing the way nurses manage infusions.
Here are the game-changing features that make Verify the new standard in IV labeling.
1. Three-Part Labeling for Complete Line Visibility
One of the biggest pain points in line management is tracing infusions across a cluttered patient setup. Vigilant solves this with three-part labels that clearly mark:
- The IV bag
- The tubing midpoint
- The patient access point
This complete visual pathway eliminates guesswork during handoffs, emergencies, and multi-line setups—reducing delays and preventing line-tracing errors.
2. Color-Coded, Time-Stamped Labels
Every label printed through Verify includes:
- Start and change times
- Medication name
- Clinician ID
- Color-coded drug classification
- Tall Man lettering for look-alike/sound-alike medications
This supports faster audits, clearer communication between staff, and stronger adherence to Joint Commission and INS standards.
3. Automated High-Risk Alerts
High-risk and concentrated medications are flagged with automated visual cues. For example:
- “MORPHINE 4×” is printed in bold red
- Short-dwell medications like propofol are tagged with rapid change intervals
These alerts reduce cognitive load and make it nearly impossible to miss critical information.
4. On-Demand Labeling with Zero Waste
Forget managing 80+ preprinted SKUs across units. Verify uses a single blank roll of labels that print on demand, which means:
- No spoilage or expiration
- No delays during formulary changes
- No waste during reorganizations
This dramatically simplifies procurement, reduces storage needs, and enhances sustainability.
5. No IT Required – Plug-and-Play Deployment
Unlike other hospital tech, Verify doesn’t need IT integration, software downloads, or downtime. Most units go live in under an hour with minimal training.
- Nurses scan their badge and drug barcode
- A label prints in seconds
- Compliance improves instantly
It’s automation designed to meet nurses where they are.
6. Custom Templates for System-Wide Standardization
In multi-site systems, different units often use different label formats. This creates confusion and compliance gaps—especially for float staff. Verify solves this by letting administrators configure templates that:
- Reflect local policies and change intervals
- Align with national standards
- Roll out instantly across all facilities
The result: consistent labeling, no matter where care is delivered.
Final Thought: Small Labels, Big Impact
Vigilant’s IV tube labeling solution isn’t just about automation—it’s about building smarter, safer workflows that support nurses, protect patients, and impress surveyors.
With Verify, hospitals get more than labels—they get peace of mind.
