Pharmaceutical Applications
Cold Chain Monitoring
Cold Chain refers to the storage, shipping, and distribution of products that need to be kept in a temperature controlled environment. An unbroken cold chain helps ensure the freshness and quality of the goods. Cold chain monitoring is a common practice in the pharmaceutical and food industries, where the products are particularly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. MadgeTech’s cold chain data loggers can assist in validating that products are stored and transported within regulated temperatures.
Lyophilization
MadgeTech’s Lyophilization Data Logger is designed for use in ultra-low operating temperatures for processes such as Lyophilization. The LyoTemp data logger offers a smart, affordable solution for a wide range of applications including the preparation of biological pharmaceuticals, monitoring plasma and red cell freezers or dry ice shipments.
Sterilization Applications
MadgeTech specializes in data loggers for a variety of sterilization methods and applications. Products and complete systems are available for EtO sterilization, Dry Heat sterilization, as well as Steam sterilization including the software and tools for autoclave validation.
MadgeTech’s sterilization data loggers include devices that can be placed in temperatures as high as 260 °C when used with MadgeTech’s thermal barrier systems. The data logger series includes devices designed to measure and withstand the high temperature, humidity and pressure required for medical sterilization as well as autoclave chamber monitoring and other validation applications.
MadgeTech data loggers provide accuracy and reliability in the validation and reporting of processes. Easy to use and easy to set up, MadgeTech data loggers and custom data logger software make it easy to accurately record your findings. Explore this collection today and see how a MadgeTech data logger can make a world of difference in your validation, processing and testing.
Vaccine Monitoring
Vaccines are key component in the prevention and containment of diseases. It is vital that vaccines are carefully handled and kept in the correct conditions and at the proper temperatures at all times. The CDC enforces stringent guidelines for the storage and monitoring of vaccines.
When vaccine refrigeration is required, the temperature must remain between 2 °C and 8 °C with a set point at 5 °C. To ensure that the appropriate temperature is maintained, a vaccine vial monitoring system including a data logger is recommended. Data loggers can be configured by the user to take readings at particular intervals to create a complete overview and detailed record of the vaccine storage environment.
In order to assure accuracy of cold chain vaccine temperatures, the probe of the data logger must be kept in a liquid filled bottle (such as glycol) in the center of the refrigerator. This is ideally done with the probe continually remaining inside the refrigerator while the data logger body is outside of the refrigeration unit for instant access to current readings. The probe wire should have a small enough diameter to allow the door of the refrigerator to close upon it without impacting the integrity of the refrigeration seal.
Once data has been collected, by regulation, an electronic record should be retained for at least three years. The MadgeTech Data Logger software automatically saves all recorded data to an internal database file and provides extensive reporting tools to easily share information to satisfy validation needs.
