What is the Safe Label System? Codonics Safe Label System® (SLS) is a proven medication safety solution that helps prevent errors in the operating room and procedural areas. Used in thousands of ORs worldwide, SLS provides visual and audible verification of medications and prints full-color, TJC compliant syringe labels. It is a key component in supporting ISMP 2025 Guidelines and reducing manual errors at preparation and administration. How it works During Preparation The clinician scans the vial or ampoule. SLS reads the barcode, confirms the medication audibly and visually, then prints a TJC-compliant label that includes the drug name, concentration, diluent and dilution (if applicable), expiration date and time, preparation date and time, preparer’s initials, applicable drug warnings, and a machine-readable barcode.
