Re: [Histonet] Temperature Checks

[Igor Deyneko via Histonet]

Hello,

We are actually in transition from manual temperature reading to an
automated system called CenTrak, managed by Infinite Leap.

We are doing a test run with them for our Clinical lab(Hematology,
Microbiology, Chemistry and Blood Bank). They installed sensors on
freezers, fridges, water baths, incubators and ambient room sensors too. We
establish the parameters, go through the validation process. Then we set up
alarms/emails when certain equipment is out of range. Everything is
centralized in a web page from which we can monitor all sensors.

[Histonet] Mycobacteria prep, MycoPrep question

[Michelle Jamison via Histonet]

Hi All
We are trying to simulate a matrix as a stand in for a patient sample. 
Currently using a Porcine stomach recipe. When we use MycoPrep 
(NALC-NaOH) the result is small chunks that drop to the bottom of a 
column and liquid staying on top. My question: Is this what happens to a 
real sample? Thanks much for any input, especially if you have a recipe 
you would like to share for artificial matrix!

Michelle

Best of all things to you,

[Histonet] FW: Temperature Checks

[Morken, Timothy via Histonet]

Amy, we have been using Awarepoint, but they are apparently going out of 
business so we are switching over to Stanley Aeroscout on all fridges, freezers 
and room temp/humidity throughout our facilities.



We have direct access to the monitoring of each "asset" and can check it online 
at any time from any computer or mobile. We get email and text (and/or pager) 
alerts when it goes out of range for 30 minutes, the door is open (via door 
sensor) or immediately if the power goes off. We have multiple people set up to 
receive alerts in a hierarchy of escalations.



We can see/print a report at any time of the per-minute temperature history of 
any asset. We can also print a report showing the temperature of each asset at 
a given time of day (like the old manual checks). But with immediate access to 
real-time temperature and graphs that is not useful anymore.



We used to do a daily "check" of the online recording "to make sure the system 
is working"  but after many years of zero problems we stopped doing that. Our 
Facilities Department maintains the system and sends out a notice if the 
network system goes down. The ONLY time we do manual checks is if the system 
goes down because we would not get alerts in that case. That has not happened 
in over two years. So we do not check it daily. We only check if we get an 
alert or if we suspect a problem. The "Tag" that is on each asset has a digital 
display of temperature at all times. If it goes out of range there is an 
audible alarm (if anyone is around to hear it) as well as the alert sent via 
email and text message. It records the temperature of every asset once per 
minute. The tag keeps recording even if the network goes down and once the 
system comes back up it will upload all the data to the central system once 
contact is restored.

Good Afternoon,



Do any of you get your temperatures for your equipment and\or refrigerators 
monitored by a temperature monitoring company and if so how do you document 
this check?

Re: [Histonet] Temperature Checks

[Simoskevitz, Ricki via Histonet]

Our facilities department is in charge of this.  If there is a problem they get 
an alarm from the company.  It takes temperature readings every hour on some 
equipment.  On other equipment it is more often.  You can log in any time and 
see your temperatures for any day, time etc,
