Automatic vaccine fridge temperature logging
How a modern vaccine fridge temperature logger like Clever Logger can save you time, money and stress.
Here’s a little bit of history lesson on how things were and how they should be.
Remember the bad old days?
Many years ago, before the advent of specialised medical fridges, vaccines were kept in regular domestic refrigerators.
One of the biggest problems with this type of fridge was temperature control. They generally had a dial that offered ridiculously imprecise control over temperature.
It was vitally important that someone personally monitored these fridges to make sure that vaccines were being stored at correct temperatures, and health departments brought in requirements to check temperatures at least twice a day. It was better than nothing, but only just.
"We had no control over the temperature
and no idea what the temperature was"
Vaccine fridges to the rescue
Then came specialist vaccine fridges. These new fridges had
- precise control of temperatures with specific temperatures at which it turned on and off. No more guess work!
- Built-in thermometers and temperature dipsplay so you could easily check the fridge,
- fan-forced airflow to minimise cold and hot spots,
- audible alarms if the fridge did get too hot or cold,
- and lots of other features.
Most of the problems associated with domestic fridges were fixed.
And temperature loggers to police them
"If all is good, then why are we wasting more time than before?"
The regulators lost their way
Everything should have been fine. But health departments did not changes their regulations to keep up with the technology, and we ended up with the absurdity of logging temperatures twice a day in a fridge that would have been screaming the house down if there was a problem.
In some states they expected staff to not only manually check the fridge twice a day, but to also download the logger twice a day.
It used to take 2 minutes to check the temperature. Now it is taking 5 minutes TWICE A DAY to download the log.
What is the answer?
Clever Logger - the wireless (internet-based) temperature logger
So the problem is, how to monitor a fridge in such a way as to satisfy the health department, but without ruining everyone else’s day.
That’s why we invented Clever Logger.
Clever Logger takes away ALL the work
Easy temperature logging - No more downloading
Sick of manually downloading data from your vaccine fridge temperature logger?
Clever Logger sits in your fridge and saves temperature data straight to the internet. You never need to touch it.
Just to be clear, there is no more wasted time by you or your staff having to take the logger from the fridge to a computer and back again.
We mean all the work
Automatic reports emailed to you
With other systems you still need to login and run reports. You need to remember the password. You need to remember to do it each day/week/month. You need to remember how to use the software. And too bad if the person who normally does it is away.
But not with Clever Logger. We will do “all” the work.
Every day, every week, or whenever you like, Clever Logger will automatically email you a clear PDF compliance report. If everything’s OK, we’ll tell you that in the subject of the email (so you can basically file it away and ignore it). If there’s a problem, you will get a different subject line, encouraging you to open and read the report.
No more remembering to run the report. No more logging in. No more forgotten passwords. We do it all for you.
But wait, there's more...
Instant alerts if there's a problem
If you’ve ever had to throw out stock because the fridge died and no one noticed until it was too late, you’re going to love this.
Clever Logger can alert your smartphone if there’s a problem with the fridge.
You can receive an email or notification to your phone. It can go to your security company. It can go to … anyone.
And you can fix your fridge before the stock needs to be disposed of.
