Vaccination Temperature Storage Monitoring

Vaccine Storage Temperature

Monitoring vaccine compliance correctly using a logging thermometer

As part of your vaccine storage and handling plan you are required to monitor the temperature of your fridge.  You should be recording at least daily minimum and maximum temperatures of your fridge.

Whilst your fridge might have a thermometer built in, this still needs to checked, reset and written down daily.  This daily routine can be simplified by using a thermometer checker and logging system which will easily continuously records the data for you.  It can be used as an audit trail for your compliance and also send you or someone in your team an immediate alert that the fridge needs attention.  The low cost of using our automated vaccine monitoring system is you get peace of mind as well as saving time and money manually monitoring your supplies.

As you know vaccines can lose their effectiveness if they become too cold or too hot at any time during the cold chain transport or storage.  This may result in the vaccine failing to have the desired immune response causing poor protection.  Controlling and monitoring the levels is key to providing an excellent service whilst lowering the cost.

With continual monitoring of temperatures an alarm can be automatically raised if an issue is detected with the fridges temperature and allow you to act and prevent your vaccines from being remedied useless under the current guidelines for safe vaccine storage.

A clear audit trail record is provided by regular testing, meaning that you do not need to rely on trained medical staff to carry out laborious regular routines.  Your compliance records are kept up to date and are easily accessed via a computer, or phone running the free software provide to you available on apple or android.  This software is included free of charge with the temperature sensors and communicated through Bluetooth automatically when your phone is in range.  We also offer a gateway connector that can connect to your network via WiFi or Ethernet cable, allowing you to connect multiple Bluetooth sensors to your network.

The gateway acts as a receiver and can monitor multiple Bluetooth sensors up to a range of 100ft.  This will then pass the real time data it in monitoring up to a cloud-based platform.  If a temperature occurs outside of the parameters you have set a text or email can be sent to one or multiple users.  This can allow to fully remotely monitoring multiple locations with instant access to current and any emergency detected.

For larger scale pharmaceutical companies or multiple locations of temperature related remote monitoring requirements this system is ideal.  This is an affordable monitoring system where you only pay for the hardware.  There is no subscription charge you get free access to the Apple/Android app, free cloud storage and reporting.   It also meets GDP and GLP for NIST traceable calibration.

If you just need to monitor one medical fridge or freezer then you only need one thermometer, you will receive access to the mobile phone app which will connect automatically via Bluetooth.  The temperature sensor has an audible alarm and uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) meaning it will last up to one year on just AAA batteries.  The loggers also include a second ambient temperature reading that allows you to give useful information about the room’s conditions during an excursion event.
