Precision That Protects: Smarter Labeling for High-Stakes Cardiac Care
Automate IV and syringe labeling to enhance workflows and ensure patient safety
Our Partners
Cardiovascular Intensive Care Units
Your CVICU team manages life-saving treatments under immense pressure, where precision and speed are critical in preventing adverse outcomes. Every second counts in the cardiovascular intensive care unit, where complex medication regimens, titratable infusions, and rapid response to hemodynamic shifts require a flawless workflow. Vigilant understands the high-stakes environment of the CVICU and delivers automation solutions designed specifically to address these challenges. In just a few short weeks, Vigilant can help you:
Automate syringe and intravenous tubing labeling to reduce manual errors, streamline IV tracing, and eliminate the risks associated with unlabeled or misidentified life-sustaining drips.
Enhance care efficiency during critical interventions such as vasoactive titration, post-surgical stabilization, and emergency resuscitations—where real-time clarity on medication and tubing can prevent potentially catastrophic errors.
Ensure compliant, accurate medication labels that support Joint Commission and ISMP guidelines, while safeguarding patients from the medication errors most common in CVICUs—such as infusion line confusion, incorrect change intervals, and undocumented continuous infusions.
Enable rapid turnover between complex cardiovascular cases by removing the burden of handwritten labels, saving your clinicians precious minutes during emergencies and helping reduce the cognitive load that contributes to burnout.
Improve charge capture by ensuring every titratable drug and IV therapy is accurately labeled and documented at the bedside, supporting hospital revenue integrity while reducing drug diversion and waste.
Vigilant’s technology is already helping CVICU teams across the country eliminate manual processes that slow down care and put patients at risk. With our color-capable thermal printing solution, every label is instantly clear, legible, and compliant—providing your team with the confidence to focus on what matters most: patient outcomes.

Easy to set up and use
No IT Setup Necessary
The Verify ICU stand-alone solution comes pre-loaded with an NDC database, tailored with your hospital specific required IV tubing change times.
No Need for Capital Budget Requests
Verify ICU is priced below most hospitals’ capital budget request thresholds, so that you can get it into the ICU, protecting patients and aiding nurses ASAP.
Same-day Integration
Verify ICU comes with everything you need to begin, straight out of the box. A single demonstration is all that’s needed to get ICU staff up to speed.
Evidence for Value Analysis Decisions
Patient Safety
Verify ICU knows how long each medication can be administered safely via intravenous infusion. Each printed label is color-coded to remind staff when IV tubing needs to be changed. Eliminating the need for mental calculation and standardizing label design, Verify ICU protects patients from bloodstream infections by making it easy for staff to recognize when IV lines need to be changed.
Verify ICU takes less than a second to print a three set labels for each infusion. Providing ICU staff with labels to tag IV tubing at both the patient- and pump-ends, Verify ICU makes following best practices easy, decreasing risk of IV misidentification and resulting patient complications.
- 60% of life-threatening errors in the hospital involve IV infusions.
- 20 high-risk drugs account for approximately 80% of fatalities from medication error.
- 85% of IV errors intercepted are caught by nurses.
Verify ICU labels include additional, highly-visible warnings for high-risk drugs. This provides a final check at which staff can identify misordered medications.
Staff Efficiency
Verify ICU eliminates the need for hand-written labels in the ICU. Staff simply scan their ID and a drug’s NDC barcode; Verify ICU takes care of the rest. Simultaneously printing both IV line-identification and changing-time labels, our solution decreases the time required for staff to correctly label infusions from minutes to seconds.
Verify ICU makes it easy for staff to identify IV lines in patients with multiple infusions. Consistent, legible labels aid staff in line-tracing when adjusting infusions and ensure continuity and clarity of information between shifts. IV system labeling solutions like Verify IV have been shown to decrease infusion identification time by 62% when used with best practices.[5]
Compliance
Studies have shown that up to 71% of infusions administered in the ICU are not labeled according to hospital policy.[6] The current non-standardized, time-consuming labeling process simply does not encourage compliance. Verify ICU automates and standardizes label creation. Each label set includes drug name, administration time and date, required change date, administering staff name, and relevant drug alerts, making 100% label content compliance possible in the ICU.
Following insufficient label content, noncompliant IV line tagging is the second most frequent infusion error in the ICU.[6] Verify ICU prints a three-part set of labels instantly. Each set includes one large, descriptive label and two smaller labels for tagging the IV tubing, providing staff with everything they need to tag IV lines in compliance with best practices.

Testimonials
“The Vigilant Labels solution is so incredibly easy to use. We have deployed in both endoscopy centers and the anesthetizing staff appreciate how simple the technology is to use in creating their case syringe labels. It makes compliance with regulatory standards easy and removes one more burden from them as they focus on the patient.”
"The Vigilant Labels Click-to-Comply solution has been used successfully by our anesthesia providers for more than 2 years now. We are compliant with our labeling processes in the OR and are now integrating the syringe labels into our electronic medical record. This is resulting in improved documentation and charge capture for our hospital."
