COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER

Objective

Implement a temperature monitoring solution to inform the hospital pharmacy whether unused IV bags, returned from nurse stations throughout the hospital, have lost their efficacy due to lengthy exposure in non-refrigerated environments.

Strategy

With the effectiveness of LOG-IC® tags proven for the external cold chain, the same solution was chosen to record the temperature of IV bags traveling throughout the hospital, giving the pharmacist a full time/temperature history.

Implementation

The multi-use LOG-IC tag is attached to IV bags with high-value medications. Pharmacists easily see if the medications have been exposed to adverse temperatures and then reuse the tags on other medications.

Results

As a result of the LOG-IC implementation, the hospital has saved costs by preventing unnecessary waste of good medications, while providing a safer emvironment for their patients.

Log-ic Certiscan Handheld Reader

The Certiscan Handheld Reader saves money in labor and data retrieval. Similar to a barcode reader we can read the tag inside a box from 5" away and go as deep as 30" inside the box. The tag inside the box is read within seconds and sends the information and colorful graphs back to your computer. Thousands of tags can be scanned and uploaded. You don't have to connect each logger to a cradle or plug each USB into a computer.
