Anesthesia Tape PDC Healthcare AN-2-75 Violet 3/4″ x 500″ Removable

Description

Product Overview

PDC Healthcare’s AN-2-75 anesthesia tape is engineered to deliver precise, readable labeling in high‑risk clinical environments. The tape features a 1‑inch core that fits standard label dispensers, a violet hue that conforms to ASTM color standards for drug labeling, and a formulation that contains no epinephrine, reducing the risk of accidental drug interaction. Each roll provides 500 inches of label material, printed with 333 imprints that include fields for quantity, volume, date prepared, and expiration date/time. The removable adhesive allows clinicians to reposition or replace labels without leaving residue, supporting clean and accurate documentation throughout the peri‑operative period. The product meets Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal 03.04.01, reinforcing institutional compliance and patient safety initiatives.

Usage

Designed for use in operating rooms, anesthesia workstations, and medication preparation areas, this tape supports a wide range of labeling tasks. Anesthesia providers can quickly apply the tape to syringes, infusion bags, and medication vials, ensuring that critical information such as drug name, concentration, and expiration is clearly visible. The tall‑man lettering format emphasizes high‑alert medications, helping to prevent look‑alike errors. Because the adhesive is removable, labels can be updated in real time as patient conditions evolve, without compromising the integrity of the underlying surface. The tape also serves well in post‑operative recovery units and intensive care settings where rapid label changes are common.

FAQ

What makes the AN-2-75 tape compatible with existing label dispensers?

The tape uses a standard 1‑inch core diameter, which fits the majority of label dispensers used in hospitals and surgical centers. Its thickness and roll width are calibrated to feed smoothly without jamming, allowing staff to continue their workflow without equipment modifications.

Can the tape be used on non‑sterile surfaces?

Yes. The removable adhesive is formulated to adhere securely to a variety of surfaces, including plastic, glass, and metal, while still allowing clean removal. This versatility makes it suitable for labeling both sterile and non‑sterile items throughout the care continuum.

How does the tall‑man lettering improve patient safety?

Tall‑man lettering emphasizes specific letters within drug names (for example, EPINEPHrine vs. EPINEPHrine) to highlight differences that might otherwise be missed. This visual cue helps clinicians quickly differentiate high‑alert medications, reducing the likelihood of look‑alike errors during preparation and administration.

Is the tape compliant with Joint Commission safety goals?

Absolutely. The AN-2-75 tape meets National Patient Safety Goal 03.04.01 by providing clear, legible labeling and incorporating safety‑focused design elements such as tall‑man lettering and expanded data fields, helping institutions achieve and maintain compliance.
