Pathology
|
Protecting pathology specimens from excesses of heat and cold is essential for proper diagnosis and patient care. All the more so when a suitable replacement specimen is difficult, dangerous, or impossible to obtain. A reliable cold chain is a vital component in protecting these highly valuable, perishable products, whether at collection points or in the laboratory. It can be time-consuming and expensive to assess temperature breaches or prevent thermal damage to specimens. ColdGuard's automated monitoring service allows you to ensure the temperature integrity of your cold chain, fulfill your regulatory obligations and reduce thermal damage simply and economically. |
ColdGuard offers: |
ColdGuard provides the answer to the unique problem of cold chain management at pathology collection points. Despite their dispersed placement, collection points are subject to the same regulatory requirements as any other part of the pathology cold chain. ColdGuard overcomes the complicated data and quality management challenges posed by collection points, as data is automatically stored at a central location and available on demand to authorized personnel.
Information on Demand
ColdGuard offers 24/7 web access to real-time temperature data, which can be viewed in graphic form at the touch of a button. Our detailed reports make it easy to assess your performance and prove your compliance with rigorous standards.
Effective Loss Prevention
ColdGuard combines on-site alarms with remote alerts using SMS and e-mail. This gives you the power to take action immediately, before sensitive specimens are damaged by temperature excursions or power failures.
Powerful Process Management
No more missed data checks, no more "guestimates": your data is recorded accurately with ColdGuard. You can assess the status of different areas within a refrigeration unit with ease, as our service can monitor multiple temperature sensors. And breakdowns in the cold chain process can be pinpointed with ColdGuard's second-by-second data collection.
Reduced In-House Costs
Save on administration and training costs. Our automated system means you and your staff no longer have to spend time on manual logging, data entry, routine data-logger checks, software training and hardware installation. We install and maintain the monitoring units and provide access to your information through our web servers.
One Low Fee
Other monitoring systems are modular in design, with separate charges for each part of the package. Once you've paid for monitoring units, proprietary software and network fees, the ongoing costs can be substantial. With ColdGuard, one low monthly fee covers the whole service.
Tax Advantage
As we provide you with a service, rather than a product for sale, your business accrues the tax advantage immediately. The ColdGuard fee is fully deductible in the same financial year as the expense is incurred.
Security
Each ColdGuard user has a unique password. ColdGuard provides safe off-site data storage using redundant servers. Coldguard features end-to-end encryption to ensure that your data is kept safe from unauthorised access.
