Application Details:
Per USP797 and UPS800, compounding pharmacies are required to keep records of the environmental conditions of the compounding space as well as the temperature within appliances where product is stored. Many compounding pharmacies record this data manually but this can be both time consuming and lead to potential errors.
Customer Problem: Manual data recording in clean rooms prone to errors
Several years ago, a compounding pharmacy was utilizing a manual data logging system for their pressure and temperature readings. This customer was forced to discard thousands of valuable vaccines during the peak of COVID because their employee had forgotten to record the temperature of their storage refrigerators. This resulted in a significant monetary loss as well as reducing the availability of crucial vaccines during a critical period.
Setra Solution:
This customer now utilizes the Setra CEMS continuous monitoring system to automatically record data and alert if any of the conditions go outside their set bounds. Setra offers wireless sensors to measure the temperature within freezers, refrigerators, and incubators, as well as ambient temperature and humidity.
