Anesthesia label AN-2-11 PDC Healthcare Tall Man with Quantity and

Description

Product Overview

The AN-2-11 anesthesia label from PDC Healthcare is a purpose‑built drug labeling solution that aligns with the Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal 03.04.01 and conforms to ASTM color standards for user‑applied anesthetic labels. Constructed from durable, water‑resistant material, each label measures 3.74 x 2.24 x 1.26 inches and weighs only 1.23 ounces, making it easy to handle while providing a robust surface for clear, legible printing. The label incorporates tall‑man lettering—a proven strategy that emphasizes critical portions of drug names to reduce the risk of look‑alike medication errors. In addition to the visual safety enhancements, the label includes dedicated fields for quantity, volume, preparation date, and expiration date/time, allowing clinicians to capture essential information at the point of care.

Designed for the fast‑paced environment of operating rooms, intensive care units, and procedural suites, the AN-2-11 label offers a seamless integration with existing labeling workflows. The label’s adhesive backing adheres securely to a variety of container surfaces, from glass vials to plastic syringes, without compromising the integrity of the printed information. The color‑coded background follows ASTM specifications, providing an instantly recognizable visual cue that the label is intended for anesthetic drugs. This combination of tactile durability, visual clarity, and comprehensive data fields makes the AN-2-11 label a reliable component of any medication safety program.

Beyond its functional attributes, the AN-2-11 label reflects PDC Healthcare’s commitment to quality and regulatory compliance. Each batch of labels undergoes rigorous quality control testing, including adhesion strength, ink durability, and color consistency, to ensure that the product performs reliably under the demanding conditions of surgical practice. The label’s model number, AN-2-11, is clearly printed on the packaging for easy inventory management, and the product is tracked under ASIN B00VMFEZXK for quick reference in procurement systems. With a best‑sellers rank that places it among the top anesthetic labeling solutions, the AN-2-11 label has earned a reputation for delivering safety, consistency, and ease of use.

Usage

In the operating theater, the AN-2-11 label is applied directly to medication containers before the drug is prepared for patient administration. The label’s pre‑printed fields guide clinicians to record the exact quantity of drug drawn, the volume of solution prepared, and the precise date and time of preparation and expiration. This systematic documentation supports accurate dosing, facilitates rapid verification by the surgical team, and provides a clear audit trail for postoperative review. The tall‑man lettering further assists staff in distinguishing between similarly named agents, such as fentanyl versus sufentanil, thereby minimizing the chance of a dangerous substitution.

The label is equally valuable in intensive care units and emergency departments where rapid drug turnover demands a reliable, easy‑to‑read labeling system. Because the adhesive is formulated to resist moisture and temperature fluctuations, the label remains legible even when exposed to humid environments or frequent handling. Clinicians can confidently rely on the label’s durability during transport, storage, and bedside administration, knowing that the critical safety information will not fade or peel away.

For institutions that employ electronic medication administration records (eMAR), the AN-2-11 label complements digital documentation by providing a physical, visual confirmation of the data entered into the system. The label’s standardized layout aligns with common eMAR fields, enabling a smooth cross‑reference between paper and electronic records. This dual‑record approach enhances compliance with documentation standards and supports quality improvement initiatives focused on medication safety.
