SLS Advanced Smart Scanning (SASS)

Codonics Safe Label System (SLS) is an award-winning medication safety device that uses barcode technology to read vial and ampoules at the point of care. When a clinician scans a medication on SLS, the system provides visual and audible identification of the drug in hand and, on demand, produces a Joint Commission-compliant label that includes a barcode to enable integration with the electronic health record (EHR). Sometimes, however, there are occasions when you need to scan a medication or an item stored in the anesthesia cart but not necessarily produce a label. SLS’s Advanced Smart Scanning feature allows users to scan a container and automatically print a label or not print a label. For example, scanning a manufacturer’s prefilled syringe and hearing SLS announce the drug name and concentration without printing a label.
