Why hospitals choose Hospicode

Hospicode was founded in Galway in 1988 to make anaesthetic syringe labelling safe and simple. We worked with the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland and DIVI in Germany to help turn colour-coded labelling into the ISO 26825 standard.

Helped shape ISO 26825

Our colour-coded system became the international standard for anaesthetic syringe labels.
