Bio-Pharma / Medical
Pharmaceutical laboratories, clinics, hospitals and medical offices often house hundreds if not thousands of products and materials that need to be in temperature controlled environments. Whether a drug sample undergoing long term testing or millions of doses of the H1N1 vaccine, too much heat can be a problem; sample testing is interrupted, delaying product development, or vaccines and medications are degraded or spoiled. The financial cost can be huge.
Keeping an eye on temperature-controlled storage rooms, refrigerators and freezers is a 24/7 job. The ability to see a problem coming and take action before it gets worse is a necessity. Temperature@lert’s cost-effective WiFi and Cellular Edition temperature monitors have been deployed in thousands of refrigerators and freezers in laboratories, doctors’ offices, and hospitals to help insure that valuable preparations and medications are safe from excessive heat.
Ensuring GMP in Biotech
In order to maintain Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), biotech companies must guarantee that their products have been maintained in strictly controlled environmental conditions. This often requires significant expense in the implementation and overhead for advanced environmental monitoring systems. Temperatur@lert’s Cellular Edition provides this security along with advanced alerting options at a fraction of the cost.
San Diego based Advantar Laboratories Inc has integrated Temperature@lert’s Cellular Edition into their most critical freezers, refrigerators, and environmental control chambers, monitoring their business critical inventory of peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides. The cellular temperature sensors provide Advantar with a cost-effective means of alarm notification communication for GMP-compliant controlled temperatures systems which reduces the response time to take action to either move temperature sensitive samples to back up storage and or to effect repairs on sample storage cabinets.
John Alaimo, Sr. VP Technical Operations
"Temperature@lert's Cellular Edition is a valuable tool to assure our customers that their materials and samples are protected. We now enjoy the advantages of a networked alarm notification solution that reliably creates and sends alerts at times when our customer’s clinical product or long term stability samples may be in danger without the expensive implementation and overhead typically associated with other systems."

Worry Free Medicine Cooling
Managing and operating a pediatric clinic involves much attention to detail. One of the most important aspects of managing day to day operations is ensuring that our medicinal inventory is well-supplied and maintained. Most clinics, at any time during the week, will have millions of dollars invested in their medicinal inventory. It is critical to maintain the integrity of each inventory item so as to effectively treat patients.
Keokuk County Health Center turned to Temperature@lert for help in monitoring their valuable and life-saving inventory. They installed various WiFi devices near every refrigerator and freezer that contained medicine and vaccines. Each temperature probe is placed in water (refrigerator) or ice (freezer) to ensure that their storage units maintained appropriate temperatures. The moment any of the devices report excessive temperature, KCHC’s IT team is on site managing the problem.
Matt Ives, CTO
“We purchased Temperature@lert’s WiFi device because of the ease of setup, the cost-effectiveness, and our probe locations. We do not have space for a laptop at every refrigerator and our wireless setup is secure so that our temperature information is safe. It is easier to check the temperature over the wireless network. We now send nightly temperature alerts via email to all of those monitoring the temperature of our medicines. My experience with your product has been amazing. Customer service has been extremely helpful and they are always willing to fix bugs or help us rewrite some code. We foresee purchasing more WiFi devices from Temperature@lert and have been recommending your device to other clinics in the United States.”

H1N1 Needs Our Help
H1N1 is spreading quickly and fiercely across the world. Everything is being done in order to best remedy the situation. While demand for drugs like Tami-Flu and vaccines for the flu are at an all time high, supply for each of these products is low. Since supply is low, it is of utmost importance to monitor and protect our current cache of vaccines.
Pediatric Physicians, PC understands this reality all too well. They have recently installed Temperature@lert's cellular device to monitor the refrigeration temperature every 12 hours. They needed a device that would monitor the temperature in a timely fashion with accurate results.

"We are an H1N1 site. Per their contract we are required to record refrigerator temperatures every 12 hours. [It is just] not practical without your device."
