Pharmaceuticals and vaccines fall under regulations requiring the continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity throughout storage and transport. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), through the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, mandates that, as of April 1, 2020, the storage and handling of prescription drugs must meet minimum conditions, including adequate lighting, ventilation, temperature, sanitation, humidity, space, equipment, and security.
At present, temperature recording is generally manual, leading to errors, wasted time, medication loss, and most critically, a lack of efficiency impacting patient health.
ThermoSense offers continuous online remote monitoring for Distribution Centers (DCs), pharmacies, health centers, clinics, and hospitals. It maintains control over necessary storage temperature limits, issues alerts for abnormal situations, prevents product deterioration, and saves staff time.
The ThermoSense IoT monitoring system assures compliance with regulatory procedures and enhances staff productivity.
Working from the cloud, the system can be operated from anywhere and set up to send notifications and alerts via email or SMS to designated personnel, should pharmaceutical products fall outside the defined temperature and humidity ranges for storage and transport.
