Wouldn’t you do anything to avoid a medication error? Most healthcare professionals are extremely careful when administering medication but statistics prove that medication errors occur more often than they should.
Did you know that:
- US medication error estimates suggest that, every year, between 770,000 and two million hospitalized patients experience an Adverse Drug Event (ADE), and 140,000 patient deaths could be from ADEs.
- ADEs account for the greatest percentage of procedure-related malpractice claims.
- 896 incidents relating to drug errors were reported to the Australian Incident Monitoring Study. Syringe and drug preparation errors accounted for 452 (50.4%) incidents, including 169 (18.9%) involving syringe swaps where the drug was correctly labeled but given in error, and 187(20.8%) due to selection of the wrong ampoule or drug labeling errors.
- A recent study found that a leading cause of anxiety for patients is being the victim of a medication error during their hospital stay.
- Researchers who observed nurses delivering medications to patients in 36 healthcare facilities in the greater Atlanta and Denver metropolitan areas came up with some startling findings: almost one in five medications were given erroneously, and 7 percent of these mistakes were potentially harmful.
These shocking and distressing facts make ADEs an important factor to consider when it comes to patient safety and quality healthcare. This is where Check Clip comes in to help. Avoid medication errors and ampoule swaps by double-checking your medication with the most convenient and affordable healthcare product available to health professionals today: Check Clip
The Smart Solution: Check Clip
Check Clip is designed to reduce the thousands of deaths and injuries related to medication errors that occur across the globe each year while minimizing the risk for sharps injuries. To make it even better, the Check Clip is affordable and easy to use. It works in any environment and it can be used with virtually all syringe and ampoule brands and sizes.
It's as easy as clipping the Check Clip onto the syringe, drawing up the drug, and - without letting the ampoule leave your hand - sliding the ampoule to the top of the barbs of the Check Clip (the ampoule is now securely attached to the syringe). Drug/fluid can now be administered.
With Check Clip,
- You reduce the need for labels as the drug details are shown on the ampoule.
- No more tapping, which is often difficult when wearing gloves or working in wet conditions. The ampoule stays connected to your syringe with the plastic barbs, even when wet.
- You reduce the risks for sharps injuries to both the patient and the healthcare professional while the drug is administered because the ampoule’s sharp edge is covered by the Check Clip.
- You can use virtually all syringes and ampoules available on the market, including Luer-Lock and Luer-Slip syringes.
- You can quickly and easily double check the medication details before administering the drug and there is no risk of confusing syringes and ampoules as the right ampoule stays attached to the syringe.
Compatible With Virtually All Syringes and Ampoules
Check Clip works with the majority of Luer and Luer Lock syringes from 1 to 10 ml.
It works well with the majority of glass ampoules and plastic ampoules (polyamps) from 1 to 10 ml.
However, ampoules 25 mL or larger are not compatible with Check Clip.
