Case History 1
Customer: A Healthcare Trust
Requirement: To upgrade existing temperature
monitoring methods.
Previous methods relied on a combination of equipment
displays, data loggers, chart recorders and manual
recording which, in terms of remote blood banks alone,
was taking a member of staff 2 hours per day.
The new system needed to be fully automatic, capable
of operating 24 hours per day, 365 days per year
Case History 2
Customer: Food Manufacturer (Sauces)
Requirement: The company needed to be able to prove
to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) that its cooking
cycles had been completed correctly.
Historically, this was done by manually recording
temperatures from chart recorders or other devices
Warehousing
across four hospital sites with six pathology labs, eight
blood banks and a total of 180 monitoring points.
Solution: An RF500 system with 14 Gateway units
has fulfilled all the customer's requirements. It allows
data from all locations to be viewed locally and remotely
by different people within the trust and includes an
email alarm system for each separate Gateway, as well
as visible alarms on each transmitter.
Monitoring points range from -80°C freezers, fridges,
cold rooms and incubators, and the system provides
almost permanent mapping for super-critical areas such
as blood fridges. The robust RF signal has proved
effective with no loss of data even across large busy
labs fitted with state-of-the-art electronic equipment.
Benefits:
• Compliance with MHRA and CPA requirements
• Peace of mind because all areas are alarmed
• No more manual readings, so no human error
• All data available to key people from their own office
• Choice of alarm methods for notification day or night
and maintaining written records. The company also
wanted to monitor temperatures in their chilled storage
warehouse.
Solution: The RF500 system supplied can be
programmed to provide independently variable logging
rates for each individual transmitter, in line with the task
being carried out. The single coordinated system has
answered all the customer's needs, including compliance
with the company's criteria which required 100%
reliability in terms of logging rates and accuracy. The
customer is also satisfied that all the data captured will
stand up to scrutiny.
Benefits:
• The ability to show that products have been cooked in
accordance with customer's instructions
• Meets all data requirements for BRC auditing
• Automated and consistent record-keeping with little
risk of human error
