EPS announces the release of two SHRINKSAFE ID bands for chemotherapy and designated high-alert drugs. The bright yellow color of the chemo bands and the red color of the high-alert bands indicate that these medications require special handling. SHRINKSAFE was designed to wrap around various-sized vials and, with brief exposure to heat, shrink to the vial’s shape. All SHRINKSAFE bands permit easy viewing of the manufacturer’s label. EPS also has SHRINKSAFE bands in bright orange (for 10 mL bottles containing high- alert paralytic agents), green (for concentrated high-alert medications requiring further dilution prior to administration), as well as clear.
