Temperature and condition monitoring for healthcare facilities

Wireless sensors send temperature and other selected environmental readings to software that checks thresholds and retains histories. Healthcare teams receive escalated notices and review storage or room conditions.

About Temperature and condition monitoring for healthcare facilities

Temperature and condition monitoring connects healthcare storage and room measurements with alerts and operating records. CenTrak provides wireless sensors and a software application for laboratories, pharmacies, vaccine stores, blood banks, cryogenic facilities and other hospital departments. The arrangement operates as a standalone deployment or alongside an existing real-time location system.

Selected sensors measure temperature, humidity, differential air pressure, oxygen, liquid nitrogen level or door status. UHF radio at 900 MHz and selected Wi-Fi connections carry readings to the software, while Bluetooth Low Energy supports setup. LCD-equipped devices provide local viewing and alarming. Reporting and measurement intervals are configurable from five to sixty minutes, and devices store thirty days of measurements for later retrieval. The stated sensor battery life is two years.

User-set upper and lower thresholds trigger notices through email, text or multimedia messages, phone calls and selected local notification devices. Escalation rules and Active Directory integration route requests to the chosen users. Staff log corrective actions and review sensor histories, device-status alerts and grouped reports. Calibration services and measurement certificates support continuing sensor checks alongside the software's audit and operating records.

How it works

Sense
Measure selected storage and room environmental conditions.
Connect
Send wireless readings over UHF or selected Wi-Fi connections.
Analyze
Compare user-set limits and retain measurement histories.
Act
Escalate notices and log the selected corrective actions.

Questions and answers

What reporting intervals are configurable on the environmental devices?

Measurement and reporting rates range from five to sixty minutes.

How much measurement history is retained by the device during an interruption?

The sensor stores thirty days of measurement data for retrieval after a power or network interruption.

Which wireless paths carry the environmental readings?

Supported arrangements include 900 MHz UHF and selected Wi-Fi connections, including Cisco CCX, Aruba ACX and UDP; Bluetooth Low Energy supports setup.

Can alerts be routed using existing staff directory access?

Yes. Active Directory integration routes selected notifications using user permissions and staff scheduling.
