What needs marking during a shift

Much of the order in a healthcare setting rests on someone having written something with a pen: a date on a strip of tape, contents on a drawer, a name on a bag, a note on the packaging of the supplies on the trolley. None of these things comes with a ready-made label, and that gap is where the marker pen lives.

It therefore belongs in more places than on the desk — in the emergency bag, on the trolley, in the storeroom and in the breast pocket. Since it comes in three colours, it is also useful for simple colour coding: one colour per shift, per group or per content, so that the difference can be seen at a distance without anyone having to read the text.

Three colours, three uses

Black is the working colour and the one that shows up best against tape, cardboard and light plastic. Most people use blue and red to tell things apart rather than to write more text: one colour per group, per shift or per content means the marking can be sorted at a distance without anyone having to walk up and read it. If your organisation already has a colour code, that is the one to follow — the point is that everyone interprets the same pen in the same way.

The fine tip is chosen for small surfaces. A date and a signature need to fit on a strip of tape, and they do not with a broad tip. Put the cap back on every time and the pen will last as long as it should.

The pen is also one of those things that get lent out and never come back. Buy more than one.

If you need something else for the breast pocket, there are penlights, and the rest of your personal kit is under personal equipment.

Vanliga frågor om marker pens

Which colour should I choose?

Black is the standard choice and the one that shows up best on light surfaces such as tape and cardboard. Blue and red are mostly used to tell things apart — one colour per group, per shift or per content — so that the marking can be sorted at a distance without the text having to be read.

What can you mark with it?

Anything without a ready-made label: tape strips, packaging, boxes, storage drawers, bags and your own equipment. For marking that is part of a care routine — samples, medicines, patient material — your organisation's own regulations always apply as to what may be written by hand and on what.

Why the fine tip?

The fine tip leaves room for more characters on small surfaces, which is exactly what is needed when the text is to be written on a strip of tape or the edge of a package. A broader tip is visible from further away but will not fit a date and a signature on the same line.
