SenseAnywhere THE monitoring system for emergency services
The right storage temperature plays a decisive role for emergency services!
Many emergency services such as the Red Cross, Workers' Samaritan Federation, Malteser Hilfsdienst, Technical Relief Organization (THW), fire department and others keep blood reserves and medicines in stock.
Medicines, serums and more must not leave the prescribed temperature ranges during storage, as they may otherwise lose their effectiveness without this being visible from the outside.
What needs to be monitored for emergency services?
As a rule, 'non-refrigerated' medicines must be stored at temperatures between +15°C and +25°C, and 'refrigerated' medicines at temperatures between +2°C and +8°C. Erythrocyte concentrates (blood preserves) must be stored at +2°C to +6°C and plasma products below -30°C.
Refrigerated goods worth several thousand euros can easily be stored in many facilities. Goods that have to be discarded due to incorrect storage therefore have painful financial consequences.
Whether in the medicine cabinet or in the fridge/freezer, recording and monitoring temperatures is an elementary link in the quality control of emergency services.
What to look out for?
The minimum requirement for monitoring temperatures in such a facility is the use of a min-max thermometer, which displays the respective minimum and maximum temperature between two readings. However, such a min-max thermometer also involves inconveniences and risks.
On the one hand, the thermometer must be read very consistently every day and entered in a list that must be maintained and archived. Secondly, the person who may be entrusted with this task must be very reliable and trustworthy.
The decisive disadvantage of a min-max thermometer, however, is the lack of a reliable alarm in the event of a limit value being exceeded; and preferably before any damage has occurred!
So how do I check whether the required temperatures are being maintained in my aid organization?
Nothing could be simpler. With the SenseAnywhere monitoring system, you have the temperatures in your practice firmly under control. The system is very easy to install and extremely intuitive to use. View the continuously recorded data at a glance - in the practice, at home or on the move. Set temperature limits and be warned on the PC, but also by e-mail or SMS if these limits are exceeded - this is the only way to prevent damage before it occurs. If required, the system can generate fully automatic reports for documentation and for submission to inspectors.
And the best thing about it: you have no work at all. You place the measuring systems at the points that need to be monitored and after a simple and short set-up phase, the monitoring system runs completely automatically and reliably and only reports when it needs your attention.
