Vigilant’s NICU solution automates a variety of labels including IV tube expiration.
Print clear labels that are easy to read by everyone, eliminating unnecessary risk for medical errors.
Tedious tasks like handwriting and line tracing take NICU nurses away from patients. With Vigilant, nurses can spend more time focused on patient’s needs.
Several customers have achieved these results in less than 30 days of implementation. Zero CLABSIs to date.
The Verify ICU stand-alone solution comes pre-loaded with an NDC database, tailored with your hospital specific required IV tubing change times.
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.
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.
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.
Verify ICU labels include additional, highly-visible warnings for high-risk drugs. This provides a final check at which staff can identify misordered medications.
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]
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.
This brochure encapsulates the innovative features, benefits, and real-world impact of our IV tube labeling system to the NICU.
This white paper written by Max Holder, a former Infusion Nurses Society President is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals seeking a deeper understanding of best practices, innovations, and the evolving landscape of infusion care.
