## What is ORxLabels?

ORxLabels™ is a medication labeling system for anesthesia. It utilizes an Apple iPhone® or iPad® app paired with an AirPrint label printer. This allows the anesthesiologist or CRNA to print on-demand labels directly from his or her Apple® device via Wi-Fi.

The ORxLabels™ app stores a database of common anesthesia medications along with associated expiration time intervals. When the anesthesia provider taps the print button to create syringe, vial, or dilution labels, the app calculates the expiration dates and times for each drug selected. It then communicates wirelessly with the label printer to create the medication labels. Each label displays the drug name, concentration, preparation date and time, provider’s initials, and the calculated expiration date and time. Labels are printed in black and white.

ORxLabels™ is designed to meet the requirements of the Joint Commission’s 2015 National Patient Safety Goals, which are utilized in hospital accreditation JCAHO inspections. Use of this app decreases the possibility of the hospital receiving a negative score on these elements of performance, as well as enhances patient safety.

ORxLabels™ was developed by an anesthesiologist. The app is designed to be fast, intuitive, and easy to use. By having the capability to print multiple labels at once, all medication labels for a surgical case can be printed in seconds with a few taps.

By leveraging the capability of an iPhone® or iPad®, an anesthesia medication labeling system can be implemented at minimal cost, only requiring purchase of the application and an inexpensive label printer for each operating room. Thermal label printers are inexpensive, do not require ink, and label media costs approximately one cent per label.

The Basic version of the app is limited to printing 12 labels per day after the first 100 labels. The Pro version may be purchased In-App and allows for unlimited printing.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 4.0 — 2020-06-14

Compatibility with iOS Dark Mode. Updated for iOS 13 operating system.

### 3.0 — 2017-08-14

User interface redesigned to display images of labels as they would be printed. Capability added for printing more than one copy of each label per print job. Simplification of interface for editing existing labels or creating new ones. Allows specification of specific types of label media in user settings, in addition to the generic landscape and portrait label types.

### 2.0 — 2015-12-17

The user interface has been redesigned to show each drug label as an actual representation of how the label will appear when printed. Each preview contains a graphic representing the label type, drug concentration or dilution information, preparation date and time, expiration date and time, and the user initials.

Printing selected labels can now be done in an instant with a single tap of the print button. The app recalls the last selected label printer and will use this printer for subsequent printing jobs. This avoids repetitive interaction with the Air Print dialog for selecting a printer unless the user wants to use a different printer.

The user interface for created new and editing exiting drug label templates has been redesigned for increased user friendliness and intuitive interaction.

The list of existing drug template labels can be sorted either alphabetically, by the number of times they were used for printing, or by when they were last used.

The Basic version of the app is limited to printing 12 labels per day after the first 100 labels. The Pro version may be purchased In-App and allows for unlimited printing.
