What is calibration?

Calibration involves comparing a sensor’s measurements to a known standard to identify any discrepancies. This process is essential to ensure that your sensors provide accurate data, which is critical to maintaining quality standards and complying with regulations.

How often should you calibrate?

The term “periodic” is subjective and can vary depending on applicable guidelines and your organization’s specific requirements. Some guidelines recommend annual calibration, while in others, based on a reliability survey, the quality manager can determine the calibration interval. At Dyzle, we have examined nearly 1,000 sensors over the past decade and determined that our sensors have no significant deviations. We like to share this information with our customers so they can make informed decisions about their calibration policies.

The methodology of calibration

The accuracy of calibration depends on the methodology used, such as the number of calibration points and the precision of the measurements. It is important to look critically at the quality of the calibration service and not just the cost. At Dyzle, we ensure careful calibration and keep certificates up-to-date in our online environment, so you can focus on your core business.

Conclusion

Calibration is a crucial part of quality management in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. It is not always necessary to extensively calibrate all sensors annually. By working with a trusted partner such as Dyzle, you can establish a calibration policy that fits your organization’s specific needs without incurring unnecessary costs.
