Safe surgery starts with a label.

This recent article highlights a reality we’ve known for years — medication safety in the perioperative environment is still heavily dependent on human vigilance, manual documentation, and fragmented workflows.

In the OR, seconds matter. Accuracy matters more.

𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺® (𝗦𝗟𝗦) was never “just a printer.” It is an FDA-cleared Class II medication safety system designed to bring standardization, visual and audible verification, and TJC-compliant labeling to anesthesia workflows — helping providers prepare medications safely and document them accurately.

The label is not the end point.
It is the connector.

Through a barcode today — and RFID tomorrow — the SLS platform supports:

Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation.

Because when systems work together, providers can focus on what matters most: the patient.

Medication safety doesn’t improve with reminders alone. It improves when workflow and technology align.

If this article resonates with you, we’d welcome the conversation.

In healthcare, reliability is often invisible.

When systems work well, no one notices. There’s no headline. No announcement. Just care delivered safely, consistently, without disruption.

In the operating room, that kind of reliability matters. Medication preparation, documentation, and reconciliation all happen in environments where seconds carry weight.

Safety isn’t a single checkpoint. It’s a continuum.

At Codonics, we’ve always believed that medication safety should be built into the workflow — not layered on top of it. Standardization, verification, and thoughtful integration aren’t enhancements. They’re responsibilities.

Trust in healthcare isn’t earned through volume.
It’s earned through consistency.

WHX Dubai 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 | 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝟮𝟭.𝗛𝟵𝟵

It’s been a busy few days at the 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 booth—and exactly the kind of conversations we came to WHX Dubai for.

We’ve had the pleasure of meeting with patient safety and radiology distributors from across the Middle East & Africa, along with partners visiting from Europe, all focused on building safer, more connected clinical workflows.

A special thank you to our distributors from the UAE and Saudi Arabia for leading live product demonstrations and engaging attendees in meaningful, hands-on discussions.

At Booth 𝗡𝟮𝟭.𝗛𝟵𝟵, attendees are seeing how Codonics supports safer, more connected clinical workflows through:

• Safety checks that help prevent vial, ampoule, and syringe swaps
• JCI-compliant syringe labeling with visual & audible verification
• Hands-free documentation into Epic & Cerner
• Wireless DR and secure image sharing for Radiology

If you’re still on the show floor, there’s still time to stop by, see live demos, and connect with our team -- 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝟮𝟭.𝗛𝟵𝟵 — 𝗪𝗛𝗫 𝗗𝘂𝗯𝗮𝗶

Thank you, Dr. Gunselman, for spending time with us and for your enthusiasm during a hands-on demonstration of the 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺® and 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 at the Maine Anesthesia Conference.

We’re grateful for your engagement and thoughtful discussion around medication safety at the point of care.

And thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to see the Codonics medication safety platform in action. We truly appreciate the conversations, questions, and interest in advancing safer anesthesia workflows—from preparation through administration to waste and reconciliation.

It was a pleasure meeting the Maine anesthesia community.

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝟮𝟭.𝗛𝟵𝟵

The show floor is open—and so is the conversation around safer, smarter clinical workflows.

At 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀, we’re bringing together:

• Medication safety that helps prevent syringe, vial, and ampoule errors
• JCI-compliant labeling with visual & audible verifications
• “Hands-free” documentation into Epic & Cerner
• Wireless DR & secure image sharing for Radiology

One booth.
Two critical clinical environments.
One integrated platform designed to support safer care.

Stop by 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝟮𝟭.𝗛𝟵𝟵 and see it live.

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮 — we’re excited to meet you.

For the first time, Codonics is bringing the 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺® Platform to Maine anesthesiologists — built specifically for how anesthesia teams work at the point of care.

See how one integrated workflow supports safer anesthesia from
Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation

• Audible and visual confirmation ensures the drug in hand during preparation
• No handwritten labels — TJC-compliant syringe labels printed on demand
• Medication is electronically documented in the AIMS at administration
• Controlled substance waste is identified, measured, assayed, wasted, and reconciled immediately following the case
• All steps happen at the point of care — without disrupting clinical workflow

Stop by our booth to see how a single platform helps reduce risk, eliminate manual steps, and bring clarity to the anesthesia workflow.

Safe surgery starts with a label — and extends through the entire case.

Medication safety doesn’t fail because people don’t care. It fails when systems rely too heavily on memory, workarounds, or perfect conditions.

Operating rooms are complex, fast-moving environments. Clinicians are managing risk in real time — often under pressure, often with incomplete information.

That’s why safety has to be designed into the workflow. Standardization. Visual and audible verification. Systems that support the way care is actually delivered.

At Codonics, this belief has guided our work for decades — not as a feature strategy, but as a responsibility.

Because in healthcare, reliability is what earns trust.

01/12/2026

Healthcare doesn’t need more disconnected tools.
It needs systems that work together.

In high-risk environments like the operating room, medication safety isn’t a single step—it’s a continuum. From preparation, to administration, to waste and reconciliation, every handoff matters.

At 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀, our focus has always been on building medication safety into the workflow—not bolting it on after the fact. That means standardization, visual and audible verification, and integration that supports clinicians when the stakes are highest.

This philosophy has guided our evolution from a single solution to a platform approach—one designed to support safer care, operational efficiency, and long-term trust.

Because in healthcare, progress isn’t about what’s newest.
It’s about what works—consistently, reliably, and at scale.

🎄 Holiday cheer, heartfelt thanks, and a room full of festive spirit at Codonics.

On Thursday, December 18, our team donned their most festive holiday attire and gathered to celebrate the season at our annual holiday lunch. Employees enjoyed a hot buffet from Pappy Bob’s featuring brown sugar ham, smoked turkey breast, and classic sides that made the day feel extra special.

Each employee received a cash gift from Santa’s pack as a small thank-you for the dedication, teamwork, and care they bring to Codonics every day.

We were also proud to recognize our December Service Award recipients. Six employees celebrated milestones this month, representing an incredible 51 combined years of service. That level of commitment speaks volumes about the people behind our mission.

To our service award recipients — thank you for your years of dedication.
To our entire team — thank you for everything you’ve done this year to support one another, our customers, and our shared purpose.

We’re grateful for you, today and every day.

VIP meetings are already underway, the booth looks fantastic, and one thing is clear — the innovation preview of our 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺™ (𝗦𝗪𝗦) is going to be a show-floor standout.

Designed for controlled substance waste 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, SWS streamlines the most time-consuming, fragmented steps in the perioperative waste and reconciliation workflow — giving pharmacy the visibility, accuracy, and accountability it has always needed inside the OR.

Here’s what attendees are most excited to see in the preview:

• Real-time assay for immediate confirmation of controlled substance waste
• Pharmacy visibility with secure record transmission
• A compliant, traceable workflow that establishes the foundation for future electronic witnessing
• Non-retrievable waste, securely stored in a disposable cartridge
• A point-of-care process that eliminates delays and closes long-standing workflow gaps
• Part of the Codonics medication safety platform, extending safety from Preparation → Administration → Waste & Reconciliation

SWS is in development — and this is your chance to see the future of controlled substance waste before it becomes reality.
