Pharmacy temperature monitoring

Sensorist wireless sensor technology is both affordable and versatile, which makes our solution easy to use in many different applications.

One area where our system has found very wide use is in the pharmacy industry. Just like HACCP in the food industry, pharmacies in most countries are required to monitor the storage temperature of medicine.

Storage conditions for most medicines can be satisfied by either cold storage (between 2-8°C) or room temperature storage that is not above 25°C.

Many pharmaceutical products can be irreversibly degraded even by brief periods at sub-zero temperatures or above, so monitoring of storage temperature is vital.

Stay on top of storage conditions

Because storage conditions can influence the stability of medicines, the authorities in most countries recommend the following:

1. Max. and min. temperatures over the previous 24 hours should be recorded daily in fridges used to store medicines between 2°C / 35°F and 8°C / 46°F
2. Temperatures should be recorded daily for any central medicine storage areas if there is any concern that the temperature is above 25°C / 77°F

With Sensorist temperature is automatically recorded every 15 minutes, day and night.

Easily manage multiple physical locations and multiple users, all with custom alarms. Setting up alarms means you will be notified immediately when something is out of the ordinary such as a fridge or AC unit failing.

Our sensors are very accurate and with such low drift (≤ 0.01 °C / year) that calibration is only needed every 10 years.
