- Door ajar status
- Oxygen levels
- Liquid nitrogen fill levels
Use Cases
- Clinical Laboratory: Ensures diagnostic samples and test results are stored properly, improves staff workflow, and maintains compliance.
- Pharmacy: Monitors pharmacy products and medications to improve patient safety and ensure regulatory compliance.
- Vaccines: Provides real-time alerts for vaccine storage, ensuring CDC and VFC compliance.
- Blood Bank: Monitors blood temperatures during storage and transport, meeting AABB standards with 24/7 monitoring.
- Cryogenic Storage: Monitors temperatures, liquid nitrogen fill levels, and oxygen levels in IVF clinics and cryo-storage facilities.
- Food Service: Ensures dietary, perishable, and nutritional items are safe for patient use and inventory is protected.
- Pressurized Rooms: Monitors airflow in patient isolation rooms, operating rooms, and other critical environments to prevent contamination.
