View Patent ↗A label for use with an intravenous bag having a surface and an interior volume for holding a solution in fluid communication with an intravenous line for dispensing the solution, where the label includes a back layer including an adhesive for securing the label to a surface of the intravenous bag, a front layer with a solution name including a first portion secured to the back layer, the front layer including a second portion removable from the back layer engageable with the intravenous line with the solution name on a first side and a second side. In some constructions, the solution name on the second side is inverted with respect to the solution name on the first side, and the second portion further includes an opening for viewing a portion of the intravenous line when the second portion is engaged with the intravenous line.
1. A label for use with an intravenous bag having a surface and an interior volume for holding a solution in fluid communication with an intravenous line for dispensing the solution, the label comprising:
a back layer including an adhesive for securing the label to a surface of the intravenous bag; and
a front layer including:
a first portion secured to the back layer displaying a solution name, and
a second portion removable from the back layer and engageable with the intravenous line, the second portion including the solution name on a first side and a second side, the solution name on the second side inverted with respect to the solution name on the first side, and an opening for viewing a portion of the intravenous line when the second portion is engaged with the intravenous line.
2. The label of claim 1 , wherein the second portion is foldable about the intravenous line to secure the second portion to the intravenous line and wherein the first side and the second side display the solution name when the second portion is engaged with the intravenous line.
3. The label of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a back of the second portion has an adhesive proximate the opening.
4. The label of claim 1 , wherein the second portion has rounded corners.
5. The label of claim 1 , wherein the opening has a width that is larger than a circumference of the intravenous line.
6. The intravenous solution delivery system of claim 5 , wherein a portion of the intravenous line is visible through the opening when the second portion is positioned along the intravenous line.
7. The label of claim 1 , wherein a slit is formed between the first portion and the second portion.
8. An intravenous solution delivery system comprising:
an intravenous bag including a surface and an interior volume adapted to receive a solution;
an intravenous line engaged with the intravenous bag and configured to dispense the solution;
a label attached to the intravenous bag, the label including:
a back layer including an adhesive for securing the label to a surface of the intravenous bag; and
a front layer including:
a first portion secured to the back layer and including a solution name, and
a second portion removable from the back layer and engageable with the intravenous line, the second portion including the solution name on a first side and a second side, the solution name on the second side inverted with respect to the solution name on the first side, and an opening for viewing a portion of the intravenous line when the second portion is engaged with the intravenous line.
9. The intravenous solution delivery system of claim 8 , wherein the second portion is foldable about the intravenous line to secure the second portion to the intravenous line and the first side and the second side display the name of the solution when the second portion is engaged with the intravenous line.
10. The intravenous solution delivery system of claim 8 , wherein a width of the opening is larger than a circumference of the intravenous line.
11. The intravenous solution delivery system of claim 10 , wherein a portion of the intravenous line is visible through the opening when the second portion is positioned along the intravenous line.
12. The intravenous solution delivery system of claim 8 , wherein a perforated line is formed between the first portion and the second portion.
