Clipboard Syringe Rack

For veterinary (or human) anesthesia "knockdown" and "reversal" there are often a group of syringes that we need, often carried in a small basin or such which end up in a pile, lending itself to a medical error if labels are not very carefully checked. This adds both organization (and prevents syringes from falling on the floor) by using one of the plastic storage clipboards (for example). The model includes 2 variations, one for the clipboard and one free-standing (i.e. sits on a mayo stand out in the open). I have as always included the STEP file in case you wish to modify. The screws are all M3 into heat-inserts. Additionally I include a drill-guide to put the mounting holes in the clipboard. Note the syringes don't get gripped, because people found that annoying as you needed 2 hands, but since the top of the clipboard locks them in place it doesn't matter.

Oh for the labels, there are 3 models included, you will notice the lack of text because A) you might not speak English, god-help-me might be British and insist on all those extra "U"s, or categorize your meds differently. They are all identical models, but this way you can remember color/text easier. If you aren't going to color them, you can print the same one (like say you are using a regular label maker)

Printing:

• Nothing requires support.

• While PLA will work just fine, probably PETG or PCTG is a better choice for ability to get rinsed (because accidents happen)

• If you are making the freestanding one I would definitely use something a bit tougher than PLA (but it works fine, just higher chance of breaking).

Notes:

• This does not replace standard-of-care labeling practices. It's not foolproof, it's just an aid.

• We found that in addition to keeping it organized let the techs prep folders for each case ahead of time, and we know at a glance if all the meds were put in the box (e.g. 2 in sedation group and 1 in reversal, etc)
