Medicine Temperature Monitoring

Effortlessly produce reports for audits, stay up-to-date with alerts and notifications, and most importantly, ensure that the temperature in your medicine fridge is within the required range

A duty of care

If medicines are to remain safe and effective, then they need to be stored within strict temperature limits. The CQC requires medicines to be stored appropriately, with an audit trail ready for inspection. Both internal fridge temperatures and the temperature of the room the fridge is within must be monitored and the data logged three times a day. The manual monitoring of fridges distracts staff from clinical duty, is oft neglected, is prone to errors, and it is expensive.

Easy Automatic Monitoring

Monitoring hardware delivered pre-configured, just connect to you network and you're ready to go. Bluetooth thermometer beacons take continuous temperature readings. One beacon in the fridge, another in the room, and finally a hub to gather the data from the beacons and whisk it away to the server.

Reports on demand

Precise, granular data available online whenever you need it. Live charts showing temperatures for both room and fridge. Printable reports on demand, or delivered by email on a schedule. Your medicines fridge is always audit-ready.

Live Alerts

If a fridge or the room it is in becomes too hot or too cold, an alert is sent immediately. Alerts can be sent to multiple staff members. The thresholds for the alerts to be sent can be customised to meet your individual needs. This means you need only deal with exceptions, rather than the distraction and effort of continual manual monitoring. Save time, and never miss another temperature check.

A duty of care

Expensive medicines need to be stored with careful temperature control in order for them to remain both safe and effective
Care providers have a duty to ensure that medicines are correctly stored
The CQC requires medicines to be stored appropriately
- Internal fridge temperature should be logged at least three times a day and checked to ensure it stays within the stated tolerances
- Room temperature where the drug fridge is situated must likewise be logged three times a day and checked to ensure it's within stated tolerances
- This logged data must be kept and made available to commissioners for the purpose of audit
Manual monitoring is time consuming for clinical staff, expensive, and error prone

Alerts

If a fridge or the room it is in becomes to hot or too cold, then an alert is sent to you via email
Alerts are triggered by configurable high and low temperature thresholds, this means an alert can be sent before a critical temperature is reached, thereby averting disaster
Alerts can be sent to more than one email address to make sure that key staff members are informed
All this means that you can manage your fridges by exception, rather than having to engage in time consuming manual monitoring
