SLS is the first and only FDA Class II medication safety device of its kind, used in over 16,000 ORs worldwide. It helps prevent the three most common perioperative medication errors—vial swaps, mislabeling, and syringe swaps—while enabling closed-loop documentation into AIMS/EMR systems such as Epic and Cerner, as well as integration with syringe pumps. To date, SLS has been used in over 281 million drug preparations and has helped prevent more than 2.1 million medication errors.
We’re honored to receive this recognition from the TAG Awards, SLS was designed to deliver meaningful impact in the OR, and this award validates both our vision and the trust hospitals place in our technology to make medicine safer.
