Interested in any pro's and con's or recommendations regarding the use of vasopressors with an adaptor for immediate use on the nursing unit - specifically vial 2 bag with EPINEPHrine, phenylephrine, norepinephrine, or vasopressin administration.

Labels for refrigerated IVPBs

We periodically have issues with our batching labels coming off the refrigerated IVPBs. Our label size is 2 and 11/16" x 2." This happens more so after being sent via pneumatic tube, and has led to errors of mislabeled vasopressors (or uncertainty in what they actually are). Sometimes we have trouble with readability as well due to the ink rubbing off. We've tried ordering "fresh" labels (older ones tend to lose their stickiness it seems) and changing our printer ink/toner. Has anyone else experienced these issues? Have you discovered any fixes? Thanks.
