We are evaluating data loggers for our hospitals. We use them when sending red cells from a regional site to a smaller rural site which may take a couple of hours in travel. We trialed zLogg, Libero (Elpro) and TempTale Ultra. Does anyone have experience with any of these data loggers you would be willing to share?

Almost all of the new data loggers do not allow you to change the battery so a replacement must be purchased when the battery dies....

thanks.....

LogTag makes several different models - some which can have battery replaced and can be recalibrated so that they can be used for an extended life.  They are simple to use and provide excellent temperature tracking records - can be a little tricky to work out how to start the "trip" since the button takes a little practice to get the feel of it.

We were using TempTales for quite a while, but "suddenly" had trouble getting some cooler validations to pass. That's when we realized that the TempTales had a fairly large +/- tolerance, too large when validating a 1-6°C range.  So our transfusion service ordered up some LogTags, they've been very happy with those over the past couple years.

I use log tag and I am very happy with them
