Temperature Monitoring -- The Buzz at the 2011 ASHE Show
At the 2011 ASHE Show, hospital administrators and facilities managers showed strong interest in CenTrak's Remote Temperature Monitoring solution, which offers reliable, wireless, 24/7 temperature sensing with automated alerts and detailed reports to help hospitals comply with stringent standards for storing critical medical resources like blood and vaccines, and can be integrated with Real-Time Location Systems for expanded healthcare applications.
We had many great conversations with Hospital Administrators and Facilities Managers at the 2011 ASHE Show in Seattle, WA. A significant number of hospitals are seriously considering temperature monitoring solutions and Real-Time Location Solutions as they plan for the future. Among all the topics discussed, the Remote Temperature Monitoring solution was the most popular subject among booth visitors.
Hospitals are required to adhere to stringent temperature-monitoring standards for the hundreds of refrigerators and freezers they use to store life-saving medical resources such as blood, pharmaceuticals, organs, vaccines, tissue samples, and food. Healthcare organizations are now leveraging new technologies to automate the temperature-monitoring process, reduce human error, and better meet compliance requirements.
The CenTrak Temperature Monitoring solution can be installed as a stand-alone solution or combined as part of a full RTLS installation to include additional use cases such as asset tracking, patient tracking, staff locating, and more. The CenTrak temperature monitoring solution is a proven and cost-effective means to monitor the temperature of life-saving medical resources. Additional benefits include:
- Reliable and accurate wireless temperature sensing 24/7
- Automated and detailed reports for any time period
- Alerts via email/SMS when temperature goes above or below set parameters
- Customizable reporting rates down to a few seconds and high accuracy
- NIST traceable calibration available
- Long-lasting battery life
