The importance of real-time temperature monitoring
Continuous monitoring of the temperature of medicines and vaccines is essential. In addition to legal obligations, it contributes to quality assurance within your organization and is an important part of your quality manual. The Healthcare and Youth Inspectorate (IGJ) monitors this and is placing increasing focus on temperature monitoring, service level agreements (SLAs) with suppliers, temperature studies, calibration methodologies and validation of systems. A strong solution from a reputable partner will help you successfully pass IGJ audits.
Ensuring stakeholder satisfaction
In addition to the IGJ, you have to deal with internal and external stakeholders, such as staff and customers. Your employees want to work with an intuitive system, while customers want quick and clear insight into temperature reports and certainty about the availability and quality of data. By choosing a good temperature monitoring solution, you are investing in peace of mind and control and ensuring that everything in this area is in place.
Reflection questions for your organization
Consider the following questions to evaluate the importance of proper temperature monitoring within your organization:
- Is it important for you to have relevant and validated data quickly?
- Want to avoid having to explain to the IGJ or your clients that you have no data or that your system is not validated to GxP guidelines?
Taking the next step
It is advisable to contact an expert partner in the field of temperature monitoring. A non-binding conversation can provide you with a lot of clarity and answer your questions. Also, if after this conversation you decide to start working with this matter yourself, you will have gained valuable insights.
By taking temperature monitoring seriously and investing in a solution that meets all requirements, you can ensure the quality and safety of your products.
