Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure disclose a system for delivering medication. In one aspect, the disclosure is directed a kit that includes a medical dispensing device with a label with a series of zones of varying widths, with each of the zones corresponding to a pre-determined volumetric dose of the drug that is correlated to one of the physical characteristics of a patient. In one specific example, the label is further affixed to the medicine dispensing device such that the 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.
Claims17
A medical treatment kit comprising:
- a vial including a drug;
- a medicine dosing device configured to receive the drug from the vial and deliver the drug to a patient, the medicine dosing device being marked with coded dosage zones of varying widths corresponding to predetermined drug doses;
- and
- an instrument for associating the patient with one of the coded dosage zones.
A method of administering a plurality of drugs to a patient, the method comprising:
- associating, using an instrument included within a medical treatment kit, the patient with one of a first plurality of coded dosage zones;
- selecting, from the medical treatment kit, a first vial containing a first drug;
- drawing the first drug from the first vial so as to fill a first medicine dosing device included within the medical treatment kit with a first dose of the first drug wherein the first dose corresponds to the one of the first plurality of coded dosage zones, the first medicine dosing device being marked the first plurality of coded dosage zones wherein the first plurality of coded dosage zones are of first varying widths;
- selecting, from the medical treatment kit, a second vial containing a second drug;
- drawing the second drug from the second vial so as to fill a second medicine dosing device included within the medical treatment kit with a second dose of the second drug wherein the second dose corresponds to the one of the second plurality of coded dosage zones, the second medicine dosing device being marked the second plurality of coded dosage zones wherein the second plurality of coded dosage zones are of second varying widths;
- administering the first drug and the second drug to the patient using the first medicine dosing device and the second medicine dosing device wherein a sequence of administration of the first drug and the second drug is indicated by instructions associated with the medical treatment kit.
