Central temperature monitoring system

[DMR]

The company we are looking at (Temp Trak), indicates that the new NIST solid state probe is not sensitive to the door opening events and has been verified by CDC.  I am checking on FDA and CDC Approval and requesting that information in writing.  The facilities I talked with are still using the probe in glycerol for at least their alarm checks or are still using Chart monitoring along with Temp Trak.  Looking for answers.

We have had Isensix probes installed for 6-1/2 years and are finally getting ready to activate it!!!  They kept giving the project to people who didn't follow through and finally I said-I'll do it!  That being said, I think we will probably keep our paper charts because Isensix was down for a couple of weeks.  Since we are not technically using it, I just stumbled on when I came back from vacation and checked it.  Biomed was unaware because they don't track it.  My problem with quarterly checks is that Isensix takes temps every 5 minutes, but as soon as my alarm goes off, I immediately pull the ice/warm H2O from the probe.  I don't want to listen to it for five minutes.  Our paper charts do register the alarm check.
