Line Labeling

Due to some IV therapy errors we have had we are reviewing our practices surrounding hanging new bags. One of the topics we are debating over is whether there are recommendations regarding line labeling. Is anyone aware of guidance from any professional organizations on line labeling?

I'd also love to hear any personal opinions or experiences others have on this topic. Does it facilitate line tracing or does it cause unintended bias with line tracing?

Thanks!
