The InTemp CX500 Temperature, CX600 Dry Ice, and CX700 Cryogenic Loggers from Onset are temperature monitoring solutions for storage and in-transit monitoring of temperature-sensitive products. They enable easy access and sharing of temperature data at multiple points in the supply chain, through the point of patient dosing. InTemp storage and transportation loggers communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to the free InTemp app on a mobile device. This reduces set-up and readout times, allowing logistics and quality personnel to access temperature data without opening a box or refrigerator. With a tap of a button, operators can document trips and obtain actionable information, enabling proactive product-disposition decisions.

The InTemp app syncs with the InTempConnect Cloud reporting and analytics tool, which provides command-center control over the supply chain. This fully integrated solution ensures secure electronic records and a reduced paper trail, streamlining the audit process and prioritizing quality delivery of goods. With the InTemp CX Gateway device, users receive an automatic data download from all loggers within range of the device, eliminating the need for manual interaction to retrieve the temperature data, while providing real-time email or text notifications straight to any mobile device.

AeroScout T15e from STANLEY Healthcare

The AeroScout T15e from STANLEY Healthcare is a WiFi based temperature tag for monitoring conditions across the health care enterprise. The tag uses a single probe to provide continuous measurement and data logging of refrigerators or freezers. The T15e tag can be supplied with a NIST traceable certificate of calibration compliant to ISO 17025:2005, and meets all the CDC requirements for VFC data loggers. The AeroScout T15e provides local audible and visual alerts and works with STANLEY Healthcare’s MobileView platform to provide real-time alerting and reporting for temperature monitoring solutions.

Its display shows current conditions and offers visual and audio out-of-range alerts, and the battery maintains a typical life of 24 months, with easy battery replacement. The system can keep months’ worth of data safe in the event of a network outage, and over-the-air programming is available with enterprise security, or a local iOS device can be used. The expanded temperature range allows coverage in all hospital departments, even cryogenic monitoring. The system is One-Touch VFC compliant with current, minimum, and maximum temperature displays and a single button press audit process with visual confirmation of success.

Cooper-Atkins 93025 SysCal Calibration System

The Cooper-Atkins 93025 SysCal Calibration System helps simplify the recalibration process of probes (including temperature, humidity, and ultralows) in order to increase accuracy and save resources. A patented process allows recalibration of each probe and transmitter monitoring device in tandem and in-situ. Recalibration with both the transmitter and probe in their natural monitoring environment increases the accuracy of the calibration. On-site calibration of temperature and humidity eliminates the need to send transmitters back to the factory or to third-party labs.

The TempTrak software, used in conjunction with the on-site calibration service, provides the ability to electronically store calibration certificates for easy recall during inspections.
