Clinical Lab Environmental Monitoring

Automatic Clinical Laboratory Environmental Monitoring

Continuously track and control environmental conditions to ensure the integrity of your clinical specimens

- directly impacting your testing quality, performance and bottom line

Eliminate the need to take continuous manual measurements

CenTrak's laboratory environmental and temperature monitoring provides real-time insight into the

conditions of diagnostic samples and test results located in clinical laboratories. Automatic alerting for out

of range temperatures helps to identify potential avenues for improper storage, enabling staff to correct

issues before spoilage occurs.

Don't let improper manual reporting slow you down or compromise results

Manually recording refrigeration temperatures and conditions is a time consuming task that leaves room

for human error - resulting in inconsistent data and inaccuracies.

CenTrak's automated temperature monitoring solution ensures accuracy and reliability

CenTrak's temperature and environmental monitoring solution is the most accurate temperature

monitoring system and can preserve important reagent and time sensitive test results.

Monitor and maintain proper clinical lab conditions

Ensure proper storage and handling, as well as the efficacy and compliance of refrigerated or frozen

tissues, fluids, and lab samples.

Patient Safety

Deliver high-quality care by protecting the integrity of lab samples and diagnostic tests.

Loss Prevention

Prevent loss of critical materials with real-time temperature alerts to support immediate corrective action.

Regulatory Compliance

Automatic and reliable documentation ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.

Staff Efficiency

Improve staff productivity by eliminating the need for manual, twice-daily temperature checks.

The data you need without all the overhead

CenTrak's wireless, real-time environmental monitoring system notifies staff when conditions are sensed

below or above user-set parameters. Our environmental monitoring software also offers robust graph,

alert, and report views, enabling your facility to take immediate corrective actions on sensors, view and

analyze data, and effortlessly pull compliance reports.

- Temperature Sensors

Keep the right temperature & eliminate manual measurements

CenTrak's LCD-display Temperature Sensor enables a cost-effective mechanism to measure the

conditions of refrigerators, freezers, and other storage areas for various temperature measurements.

Dual-port capabilities for dual-zone monitoring (-200 C to +125 C range with selected probes) or

single-zone with optional door sensor. CenTrak provides 30 days of measurement data storage for

retrieval in the event of a power or network outage. The sensor's reporting & measurement rates are

configurable (5 to 60 minutes) and the device is equipped with a 2-year battery life. Multiple buffer types

and probe lengths are available to suit a variety of needs in your clinical laboratories.

This sensor is also used for:

- Pharmacy

- Vaccines

- Blood Bank

- Cryogenic Storage

- Food Service

- Ambient Temperature & Humidity Sensors

Protect and maintain your critical lab materials

Ensure correct ambient temperatures (0 degC to 70 degC) and relative humidity (10% to 90% RH) levels

in environmentally controlled rooms or areas. CenTrak's ambient temperature and humidity sensors are

equipped with a 2-year battery life and low-battery alert feature. Reporting & measurement rates are

configurable in 5- to 60-minute intervals and 30-days worth of measurement data is automatically stored

for retrieval in the event of a power or network outage. The built-in LCD display allows for immediate

temperature viewing, alarms, and local alert settings and the sensor's certified 2-year calibration ensures

measurement accuracy.

- Food Service

- Real-Time Alerting

Generate compliance reports without increasing manual labor

Alert notifications are based on sensing value, device status (probe disconnect, door ajar, low battery),

and process breakdowns. Real-time alerts and customizable escalation chains enable staff to take

immediate action when conditions fall outside of safe parameters. When an alarm is triggered, the

corrective action performed is logged in the system for sensor and alert management. With an integration

to Active Directory, notifications can be properly routed based on user permissions and staff scheduling.

Quickly configure hundreds of sensors, users, and alerts through a simple import/export tool. Alerts are

sent via:

- Email

- SMS/MMS

- Alarm, Lights, Strobes

- Phone Calls

- Regulatory Reporting

Generate compliance reports without increasing manual labor

The system generates a variety of automated compliance reports and sensor history audit logs, based on

individual devices or a customized grouping (i.e., departmental views). Automated environmental

monitoring solutions for healthcare eliminate the need for costly manual documentation and the potential

for human error.
