Intelliguard and Codonics Partner to Strengthen Patient Safety

Intelliguard, a provider of RFID enabled-medication management and data-intelligence solutions, announces a strategic partnership with ​Codonics​, a global leader in healthcare technology offering cutting-edge solutions for patient safety.

This partnership combines Intelliguard’s flagship Mira Care Station with the Codonics Safe Label System (SLS) for fast, compliant, and standardized syringe labeling, ensuring a closed-loop medication process in operating rooms.

Installed in more than 16,000 operating rooms across 1,000+ hospitals, Codonics’ innovative medication safety system integrates barcode scanning and uses visual and audible electronic safety checks to ensure clinicians reliably select the correct medication to help eliminate labeling errors during medication preparation.

Combining SLS into the Mira Care Station’s workflow, clinicians have a fast, easy, and safe way to help eliminate the three most common medication errors in the OR, including vial and ampoule swaps, mislabeling, and syringe swaps.

RFID technology is rapidly emerging as a game-changer in the healthcare industry, offering significant opportunities to improve patient safety and optimize clinician efficiency. Intelliguard is the only solution that integrates advanced RFID technology and a comprehensive ecosystem for medication management while ensuring real-time visibility and data intelligence for enhanced patient safety and operational efficiency.

By combining the two technologies, Intelliguard and Codonics enable hospitals to better comply with the ISMP Guidelines for Safe Medication Use in Perioperative and Procedural Settings, developed to support hospitals in addressing gaps in perioperative and procedural medication safety.
