CODONICS

Since 1982, Codonics has been a company focused on the development and sales of peripheral devices used in diagnostic imaging. For nearly 30 years, Codonics has worked closely with the radiology community and diagnostic imaging system manufacturers to produce leading-edge imaging storage and distribution devices. With the development of the Safe Label System (SLS), Codonics entered the realm of patient safety-oriented systems and expanded into the anesthesia, operating room, ICU, patient floors and pharmacy market. Our continued focus and commitment to the ongoing Patient Safety Movement Foundation initiatives for zero preventable patient deaths caused by medication errors by 2020 includes working with organizations like The Emily Jerry Foundation and Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) and objectives set forth by the U.S. Health & Human Services. Every year, more than 200,000 patients die from preventable causes in US hospitals. This is more than the total number of deaths from lung, breast and prostate cancer combined. Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the country. Of the top three leading causes, medication errors are the number one cause of preventable patient deaths. Codonics SLS is a first-of-its-kind, FDA class II device, on-demand medication preparation-specific system that replicates pharmacy oversight at the point of care, ensuring compliance with best practices and standards to improve patient safety, efficiency and accuracy to reduce medication errors. Codonics goal is to provide the medical industry with faster, more versatile and economical solutions that improve healthcare delivery and patient safety through product innovation. Let’s eliminate medication errors, together.
