“Delivering an innovative, two-sided, single IV bag label applied to the frontside of the IV bag that contains all required drug and dosing information, while also containing key visual cues and critical product information that is clearly seen when looking through the IV bag solution from the backside, is an advancement in quality aimed at reducing drug and dosing errors. The two-sided label provides customers the ability to easily visually inspect the quality of the product inside the bag, which is not possible when simply applying two standard labels, one on each side of the bag. QuVa Pharma is committed to provide high quality product enhancements that improve safety, and this is another example of our development track record that will help our hospital partners meet their clinical needs.”
