Abstract: Systems and methods involving transferrable identification tags are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a delivery device, a container, and a tag coupled to the container and configured to store information related to contents of the container. The delivery device is engageable with the tag and at least a portion of the contents of the container are transferrable from the container to the delivery device following its engagement with the tag. The tag is removable from the container in engagement with the delivery device such that the delivery device carries the tag following its removal. In one form, a frangible member is coupled to and extends between the tag and the container, and the tag is removable from the container by the delivery device upon breakage of the frangible member. Other embodiments include unique methods, systems, kits, assemblies, equipment, and/or apparatus which involve transferrable identification tags.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a pharmaceutical to a patient. One embodiment includes filling a delivery device with a pharmaceutical, attaching a machine-readable and re-writable identifier to the delivery device and supplying the delivery device to an administration facility. The identifier contains pharmaceutical information identifying details of the pharmaceutical, such as one or more of the name, class, concentration, volume, expiration date, lot number, serial number and manufacturer of the pharmaceutical. At the administration facility, the identifier is read and the pharmaceutical information is compared with an electronic file uniquely associated with the patient to detect a confirmation for administering the pharmaceutical to the patient. If the confirmation is present, the pharmaceutical is administered to the patient and the pharmaceutical information is stored in the electronic file.
