What to record for colour drift on a pharmaceutical label
For colour drift on a pharmaceutical label, at least record the instrument, the condition, the metre count, and the reading. Leave any one of these out and the next shift cannot tell whether to change a part. The colour in the same place slowly leaves the signed sheet as the metres go.

The note is for the next shift
Writing only "there is colour drift" is useless. The colour in the same place slowly leaves the signed sheet as the metres go. Also write where it sits. If it has already affected the batch code, the expiry date, or a barcode, the note must say whether you stopped or let it go.
What to write down
| Item | What it is for | If you leave it out |
|---|---|---|
| Record the instrument, the condition, the metre count, and the reading. | Match it to a roller, a blade, or the stock | Next time you guess from zero |
| Metre count or sheet number | Find this spot again | The complaint will not line up |
| Whether it hit the batch code, the expiry date, or a barcode | Pass or stop | You only keep a pretty picture |
Hand this to the next shift
- Record the instrument, the condition, the metre count, and the reading.
- Write whether it landed on the batch code, the expiry date, or a barcode.
- Use the name from the name list. Do not invent another word.
