Our kit enables you to monitor temperature in a refrigerator or freezer and also provides customized alarming and data storage. With inputs for 2 RTDs and a thermocouple, the flexible Accsense A2-05 pod can monitor vaccine storage units per CDC guidelines, regular and ultralow freezers, and even liquid nitrogen chambers. Furthermore, if you acquire additional cold storage equipment, you can add up to 2 more sensor probes at a very reasonable price. We provide in-house NIST-calibration for our sensor pods at any temperature all the way down to -20°C (-4°F) to accommodate a wide range of healthcare and life science applications, and for an additional price we can calibrate for even lower temperatures.
The new kit is now available through all Accsense resellers: http://www.dataloggerinc.com/contact/distributors.php  Joint Commission Guidelines on Temperature Monitoring: What does the Joint Commission say about temperature monitoring and logging? “Joint Commission does not specifically require temperature logs for refrigerators and freezers used for medication storage. Standard MM.03.01.01, EP2 requires that medications be stored according to manufacturer's recommendations. Additionally, EC. 01.01.01 requires that organization describes and implement processes to maintain and monitor equipment performance. If your organization chooses to use temperature monitoring to achieve this, the monitoring method must track temperature in an ongoing fashion to indicate whether or not internal temperature has deviated from the required ranges for all drugs stored. In addition, the organization should have a defined process outlining disposition of medication from a refrigerator or freezer which has deviated from the recommended temperature range.”
