Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure disclose a system for delivering a medication. In one aspect, the disclosure is directed to a medical dispensing device that includes a label with a series of zones of varying widths, with each of the zones corresponding to a pre-determined volumetric dose of a drug that is correlated to a physical characteristic of a patient. In one specific example, the label is further affixed to the medical dispensing device such that a smallest dose of the drug to be administered corresponds to a first zone that is proximate an opening through which the drug is to be dispensed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- selecting a drug out of a plurality of different drugs, thereby creating a selected drug;
- selecting a medicine dispensing device having a particular volumetric capacity out of a plurality of different-sized medicine dispensing devices, the volumetric capacity determined based on a length and a width of the medicine dispensing device, the medicine dispensing device comprising a substantially transparent vessel for holding the selected drug therein;
- calculating, using a conversion factor based upon the particular volumetric capacity, widths for color coded zones of a series of color coded zones of varying widths;
- printing the series of color coded zones of varying widths and volumetric indicia on to a label for marking a surface of the substantially transparent vessel, wherein the volumetric indicia comprises textual volumetric markings spaced apart in equal volumetric increments and volumetric markings within each color coded zone of the series of color coded zones;
- and
- placing the label on the medicine dispensing device.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a medicine dispensing device having a particular volumetric capacity, the medicine dispensing device comprising a substantially transparent vessel for holding a selected drug therein;
- calculating, using a conversion factor based upon the particular volumetric capacity, widths for color coded zones of a series of color coded zones of varying widths;
- marking a surface of the substantially transparent vessel with the series of color coded zones of varying widths and volumetric indicia, wherein the volumetric indicia comprises textual volumetric markings spaced apart in equal volumetric increments and volumetric markings within each color coded zone of the series of color coded zones, and wherein each of the color coded zones representing an appropriate drug dose for the selected drug that corresponds to one or more physical characteristics of a patient.
