In pharmaceutical logistics, one device protects the safety and efficacy of medications during transport: the temperature monitor. This unassuming tool guards temperature-sensitive drugs and biologics as they journey from manufacturer to patient.
What Does a Temperature Monitor Do?
The pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on maintaining strict temperature controls throughout the supply chain. Even minor temperature fluctuations can compromise medications, potentially putting patients at risk. The temperature monitor silently tracks and records temperature data throughout transportation.
How it Works
A temperature monitor is typically a small, portable device with sensors continuously measuring ambient temperature. These monitors can be placed inside shipping containers, refrigerated trucks, or individual packages for real-time temperature readings. Some advanced models also track humidity levels and other environmental factors affecting drug stability.
Benefits of Use
- Historical information. One key advantage of using a temperature monitor is its ability to provide a complete temperature history of a shipment. This data allows pharmaceutical companies to verify that their products remained within the required temperature range during transit.
- Determine the Viability of Substances. They serve as a critical tool for risk management, helping to prevent costly product losses and ensuring patient safety. By providing accurate and reliable temperature data, these monitors enable pharmaceutical companies to make informed decisions about the viability of their shipments.
