GB2461013A — Vessel with gradations marked thereon relating to a physical characteristic of a patient

USPTO Abstract

A vessel2, suitable for the administration of a drug to a human patient has gradations6marked thereon which relate to a physical characteristic7of a patient. The gradations6indicate to a user how much drug to administer depending on the characteristic. The gradations6may be specific for a particular drug3which may be marked on the vessel2. The vessel2may be colour-coded to match the colour of a vial from which the drug with which it is to be used is taken. The vessel2may have more than one scale indicative of different physical characteristics of a patient. The vessel2may have two scales where the zero point of one scale starts at a proximal end of the vessel and the zero point of the other scale starts at the distal end. The physical characteristic may be weight, height, body mass index or patient age.
