DOHA: The Qatar German Medical Devices Company (QGMD) in collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service has developed color-coded syringes to help clinicians identify different types of drugs during emergency patient injections.

The colors are based on a standard set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for labels applied by the user during emergency care.

Colors are used to differentiate between products, and each color refers to a specific class of drugs. The Qatar German Medical Devices Company is committed to developing innovative products that meet the requirements of the local and international market, a statement said.[the_ad id=”31605″]
