02/09/2017 BG -- New tamper evident baggies for HH Main C2Safe area

Subject: New tamper evident baggies for HH Main C2Safe area

 

We are trialing some new tamper-evident baggies in the C2Safe that will replace our tamper-taped baggies.

Two important points about these new tamper-evident baggies that will replace the tamper-taped baggies:

1. TECHS: When sealing the bag,  you will need to fold down the top as much as possible to assure that product cannot be removed from the sealed baggie. Also, if you are issuing a quantity more than 10, remove the meds from the tamper-evident baggie and place them all in one regular baggie.

2. PHARMACISTS: When checking, if you need to open the baggie to inspect the contents, this will break the tamper-evident seal such that contents may easily spill. Please put opened tamper-evident baggie contents into a regular sealed baggie.
