Enhanced labeling design and placement
Quva’s ready-to-administer Oxytocin IV bags are updated with redesigned front and back labels, as well as front label placement that covers the diluent bag manufacturers linear barcode so that there is more clarity that Quva’s label barcodes are the ones scanned for the necessary compounded sterile product information like lot number, expiry, etc. This incorporates ISMP’s best practices on responsible oxytocin use, barcode verification, and medication safety.1
NEW: Front label redesign and enhancements
- Updated label placement and improved adhesive ensures secure coverage of the diluent bag’s barcode, reducing confusion and simplifying workflow by presenting a single barcode and expiration date of the compounded sterile product for scanning
- Concentration expressed in milliunits, supporting more precise titration in clinical settings and aligning with infusion pump dosing nomenclature
- NIOSH HD indicator added, expanding on the current High Alert designation and improving healthcare worker safety
NEW: Back auxiliary label
- Medication name displayed in TALLman lettering, increasing patient safety by aiding clear differentiation of oxytocin IV bags from plain hydrating solutions and magnesium infusions - An ISMP best practice
