Wireless temperature and environmental sensors and monitoring provide healthcare facilities with the ability to leverage technology to ensure compliance standards and to prevent loss with pharmaceuticals, lab samples, blood products, vaccines, etc. The financial impact when a refrigerator goes down can be a significant loss. Thousands of dollars can be lost through temperature spoilage. Recording and tracking data remotely using technology eliminates the need for manual processes which enables greater efficiency and potential loss.

Environmental Monitoring Use Cases

Recording and tracking temperature and environmental data on medicine, vaccines, blood and lab samples ensures these critical life-saving components are safe and ready for patient use.

Pharmacy

Ensure pharmacy products and medications are maintained and prepared under storage conditions in compliance with USP797.

Clinical Lab

Safeguard valuable and time-sensitive diagnostics and test results across commonly monitored use cases to meet CAP and JCAHO.

Transportation

Monitor and track in-transit healthcare materials like blood, transplant tissues and organs.

Network Closet

Advanced temperature monitoring to data centers to effectively manage energy costs and equipment conditions.

Blood Bank

Maintain precise temperature and humidity conditions to ensure blood banks or blood storage temperatures meets AABB standards.

Food Service

Achieve food safety, quality, and maintain shelf life by monitoring perishable food items. Even monitor dishwasher rinse temperature to HACCP standards.

Vaccines

Maintain vaccines under recommended storage conditions to ensure CDC recommendations.

Hospital

Automate 24/7 monitoring of hospital equipment and air pressures in a wide range of environments where temperature and humidity play a critical role.

Benefits of Automated Temperature Monitoring

  • Saves data: Temperature sensors save critical data for 30-days. Even when power is out, the sensor is still working.

  • Long life: Low power consumption for long battery life.

  • Easy integration: Sensors integrate by with existing Wi-Fi networks, and 900 Mhz interfaces.

  • NIST certified: Sensors are NIST certified to insure compliance with governmental regulations.

  • Easily customizable: Software is customizable and provides output reports and alerts when needed.

  • Efficient workflow: Elimination of clinician/staff time to log temperatures twice or more a day.

  • Track: Ability to track temperatures during transport, downloads data when WI-Fi access available.

  • Status logs: Dual sensors can log not only temps but door ajar status

  • Alert distribution: Alerts sent to appropriate individuals when out of compliance situations occur

  • Compliance reporting: Enables the organization to meet all of the requirements of compliance for reporting and recording under JCAHO, CAP, AABB, and others.
