Objectives:
to synthesize the evidence on intravenous device labeling used to identify medications administered to patients in Intensive Care Units, with a view to preventing medication errors.
Methods:
an integrative review, in the LILACS, IBECS, Embase, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL databases, from November to December 2021, using descriptors and selection criteria. Data were collected in 11 articles and subsequently classified, summarized and aggregated.
Results:
pre-designed labels, with pre-defined colors and information, help to prevent medication identification errors. There is still a lack of standardization in the practice of labeling syringes, intravenous lines, infusion pumps and saline solution bags. There are errors related to the lack of labeling devices or to their performance with incomplete information.
Conclusions:
device labeling is a barrier to defending the medication system safety and should be standardized.

Objective:
To analyze the opinion of nursing professionals on the design, practicality of use and the usefulness of color-coded drug labeling in a pediatric intensive care unit.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study with 42 nursing professionals. A structured questionnaire was used based on a five-level Likert scale. To assess the proportions, a binomial test was used.
Results:
Concordance ratio >0.8 for all propositions related to design, practicality and most of the propositions related to error prevention.
Conclusion:
According to the opinion of the nursing team, the implemented technology has an adequate design, as well as being practical and useful in the prevention of medication errors in the population at the ICU.
