Abstract: A drug delivery system has a drug delivery article for administering a medicament to a patient. The system is associated with a recognition article, which is correlated with an industry-recognized standard, for signaling a caregiver that precautions must be taken before administering the medicament to the patient. A high visibility, imperative is thereby provided, which warns against inadvertent administration of a pharmacological agent into the wrong site of a patient. The system preferably comprises a syringe bearing a red marking that signals the caregiver to avoid intrathecal injection of medicament therewithin. A signal triggered by the red marking may additionally warn that the contents of the drug delivery article are hazardous, and that caution must be undertaken to prevent the potentially fatal injection of an incorrect pharmaceutical solution into a patient.
