ShockWatch has introduced its latest temperature monitoring offering for the pharmaceutical industry. TempMark 8 merges industry demands for ascending and descending temperature monitoring with up to eight temperature thresholds. It also incorporates recorder functionalities to provide critical product data to manufacturers, handlers, and receivers.
By incorporating multiple pre-programmed alarm conditions both above and below the shipment’s temperature limits and monitoring the shipment as it is transported, the TempMark 8 empowers its users with increased knowledge about the shipping conditions as well as the safety of the shipped product, while maintaining a price point below that of a traditional recorder.
With an accuracy of ± 0.5° C, the TempMark 8 is ideal for use in cold chain management shipping such as vaccines and pharmaceuticals, blood and plasma products, and chemicals; however, it can also be used for non-pharmaceutical applications such as frozen, refrigerated, and fresh food shipping, live plants, animal shipping, or electronic components and products.
TempMark 8 uses an eight-temperature threshold monitoring system to track and report the product’s temperature conditions during shipping. It is able to monitor and record activity both above and below the determined temperature threshold for the product. An intuitive counter displayed in an LCD panel on the front of the device enables anyone who comes into contact with the monitor to quickly and easily assess what thresholds were exceeded during shipping, as well as how many times it happened.
For 90 days after activation, the TempMark 8 is capable of displaying the total number of excursions per threshold, maximum duration of each excursion, and cumulative duration of all excursions throughout the entire transport.
