PDC Healthcare Anesthesia Tape AN-2-20 Red 3/4″ x 500″ Removable

Description

Product Overview

The PDC Healthcare AN-2-20 anesthesia tape is engineered specifically for the demanding environment of operating rooms and procedural suites. Constructed from a high‑quality, pressure‑sensitive adhesive backing, each roll measures 3/4″ in width and extends to 500 inches in length, providing a generous surface area for detailed labeling. The tape’s vivid red color complies with ASTM standards for drug labeling, ensuring immediate visual recognition and reducing the risk of medication mix‑ups. Each label includes 333 imprints, allowing clinicians to record critical information such as drug name, concentration, expiration date, preparation time, and the initials of the person who prepared the medication. The removable design enables easy updates without leaving residue, while the durable substrate resists tearing and moisture, maintaining legibility throughout the surgical procedure.

Usage

Designed for anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, and perioperative pharmacists, this tape integrates seamlessly into standard medication preparation workflows. In the operating room, clinicians can quickly apply the tape to syringes, vials, and infusion bags, documenting the exact drug concentration, the time of preparation, and the expiration date. The tall‑man lettering format emphasizes high‑risk drug names, such as “SUCcinylcholine,” to differentiate them from similarly named agents and prevent dosing errors. The tape is also suitable for use in intensive care units, emergency departments, and outpatient surgical centers where rapid medication administration and accurate documentation are essential. Its removable nature allows for label updates when medication is reconstituted or when the expiration window changes, ensuring that the most current information is always displayed.

Beyond the operating theater, the tape supports compliance with Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal 03.04.01, which mandates clear labeling of anesthetic agents. By providing dedicated fields for quantity, volume, date prepared, and expiration date/time, the AN-2-20 tape helps healthcare facilities meet regulatory requirements and improve patient safety outcomes. The tape’s lightweight packaging (1.45 ounces per roll) makes it easy to store in medication carts, sterile supply kits, and mobile medication carts, ensuring that it is always within reach when needed.
