User:Evan Lipstein/ColorSafe IV Lines help hospitals to prevent medication errors

ColorSafe IV Lines is a patented medical device used by hospitals. Hospitals Intravenous Safety is of key concern and ColorSafe IV Lines allow hospitals to assign a medications a particular color for usage in a particular hospital unit. In combination with matching colored labels, the color-coded tubing will make it faster and easier for healthcare professionals to ensure that patients receive the correct type and dose of medication.

ColorSafe IV Lines was co-founded by two nurses who are sisters. Terri Barton Salinas and Gail Barton Hay; experienced nurse with a combined 54 years of experience in labor and delivery, nursery, pre-op, recovery, operating room, ICU and home care experience.

ColorSafe IV Lines enable healthcare providers to use our patented color tinted IV lines for the second, third or more IV lines. A patent pending labeling system is also utilized.

Currently all IV lines used in hospitals are clear and indistinguishable from each other. This makes it difficult to differentiate each line from the next causing precious moments to be lost and mistakes to be made. ColorSafe IV Lines provides a solution to this problem.
