The issue of effectively and promptly monitoring the actual temperatures inside hospital refrigerators was a concern well before the COVID experience, but it now seems even more pressing.
In reality, what is often missing is not the monitoring of individual refrigerators, which store valuable medications, vaccines, and biological components, but a real-time monitoring system that alerts any malfunctions at a local or systemic level. This system should therefore determine when, for how long, and with what intensity an adverse event occurred.
To address this issue, TAPMYLIFE has developed a REAL-TIME REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE MONITORING PLATFORM WITH TRACKED AND MANAGED ALARMS.
The platform allows for standardized temperature monitoring across all refrigerators in the healthcare facility with an effective, flexible, and cost-efficient device.
Key features displayed on a single dashboard include:
- Location of each refrigerator on the facility’s floor plan
- Temperature
- Open/close times
Real-time monitoring enables anomaly prevention through alarm systems that prevent temperatures from exceeding the correct storage ranges for medications and samples.
The temperature of biological samples, medications, and blood components is monitored in real-time, even during transport, to allow for prompt action in case of anomalies.
The position and history of transport routes are recorded and stored on the control console.
Alarm systems notify transport companies, healthcare facilities, drivers, and any other parties involved in the alarm management process.
Ensuring the proper preservation of medications, biological components, and all items that must be kept at strictly controlled temperatures enriches the facility’s control and efficiency systems, with significant implications for the overall safety of the healthcare system.
