Make sure you know it’s fresh with a portable data logger

Whether you work with foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals, both product groups have a certain refrigeration requirement in transport. Quality deficits, financial losses or even serious damage to the health of the consumer or patient can be the consequence.

The adherence to predefined temperature values is of paramount significance in the transport of food. This is the only way legal hygiene standards can be fulfilled and the quality, safety and preservation of foodstuffs guaranteed.

The precise monitoring of the complex processes and procedures is defined in the HACCP guidelines (hazard analysis critical control points), whose purpose is the prevention of health risks in the food sector.

With the Testo 184 data logger, you can monitor every step of the cold chain. The loggers travel in freight and loading rooms, monitoring temperatures during the transport of sensitive goods on rail, in the air or on the road.

At their destination, you can see at a glance whether the configured limit values have been adhered to. To obtain detailed information just connect the logger to a PC and a PDF report can be generated with all relevant data.

Testo 184 data loggers are certified as food-safe by HACCP International, and so can be recommended for use in the HACCP environment.

In a GxP-regulated environment high demands are placed on quality management. Not only GMP or GLP, but also GDP (good distribution practice) guidelines play an increasingly important part.

Since the distribution of pharmaceutical and medicinal products is nothing more than mobile storage, the same rules apply here as in production, with regard to monitoring and quality assurance. With the help of a Testo 184, GxP-compliant work is no problem. For more information on Testo 184 transportation loggers contact Tom Aldridge. Email taldridge@eurotec.co.nz, Ph 09 579 1990.
