• wherein the first cutout segment separates the at least one protruding member of the first lobe segment from the base segment,
• wherein the second cutout segment separates the at least one protruding member of the second lobe segment from the base segment,
• wherein the label comprises at least (A) a facesheet layer and (B) an adhesive layer,
• wherein the adhesive layer comprises a first facial surface and a second facial surface, and the second facial surface is in contact with the release liner.

An IV bag comprising an IV port, the IV port (1) having (i) a terminal portion comprising a terminal surface and (ii) a tubing portion and (2) bearing a label, the label comprising

• (a) a base segment,
• (b) a first lobe segment comprising at least one protruding member and a pull tab,
• (c) a second lobe segment comprising at least one protruding member,
• (d) a first cutout segment,
• (e) a second cutout segment,
• (f) a first perforation forming a boundary between the base segment and the first lobe segment,
• (g) a second perforation forming a boundary between the base segment and the second lobe segment, and
• (h) a third perforation forming a boundary between the first lobe segment and the at least one protruding member of the first lobe segment;
• wherein the first lobe segment is connected to the base segment and the second lobe segment is connected to the base segment and opposed to the first lobe segment,
• wherein the first cutout segment separates the at least one protruding member of the first lobe segment from the base segment,
• wherein the second cutout segment separates the at least one protruding member of the second lobe segment from the base segment,
• wherein the label comprises at least (A) a facesheet layer and (B) an adhesive layer, each of the (A) facesheet layer and (B) adhesive layer comprising a first facial surface and a second facial surface;
• and
• wherein:
• (I) the base segment is in contact with at least a portion of (i) the terminal portion of the IV port,
• (II) the (b) first lobe segment is in contact with at least a portion of (ii) the tubing portion of the IV port,
• (III) the (c) second lobe segment is in contact with at least a portion of (ii) the tubing portion of the IV port, and
• (IV) the at least one protruding member of (b) the first lobe segment and the at least one protruding member of (c) the first lobe segment are in overlapping contact such that at least a portion of the second facial surface of the adhesive layer is in contact with at least a portion of the first facial surface of the facesheet layer.

A method of applying a label to an IV port, wherein the IV port comprises (i) a terminal portion comprising a terminal surface and (ii) a tubing portion, the method comprising:

• (1) providing a label comprising
• (a) a base segment,
• (b) a first lobe segment comprising at least one protruding member and a pull tab,
• (c) a second lobe segment comprising at least one protruding member,
• (d) a first cutout segment,
• (e) a second cutout segment,
• (f) a first perforation forming a boundary between the base segment and the first lobe segment,
• (g) a second perforation forming a boundary between the base segment and the second lobe segment, and
• (h) a third perforation forming a boundary between the first lobe segment and the at least one protruding member of the first lobe segment;
• wherein the first lobe segment is connected to the base segment and the second lobe segment is connected to the base segment and opposed to the first lobe segment,
• wherein the first cutout segment separates the at least one protruding member of the first lobe segment from the base segment,
• wherein the second cutout segment separates the at least one protruding member of the second lobe segment from the base segment,
• wherein the label comprises at least (A) a facesheet layer and (B) an adhesive layer;
• (2) aligning the terminal surface of the IV port with the center of the base segment;
• (3) folding the base segment against the terminal portion of the IV port such that (A) the base segment is in partial contact with the terminal portion, (B) the first lobe segment is in contact with at least a portion of the tubing portion of the IV port, and (C) the second lobe segment is in contact with at least a portion of the tubing portion of the IV port;
• (4) wrapping a first of the at least one protruding members of the first lobe segment or second lobe segment around the tubing portion of the IV port;
• and
• (5) wrapping a second of the at least one protruding members of the first lobe segment or second lobe segment around the tubing portion of the IV port.
