AES: You are using the Labguard 2 monitoring system, what kind of equipment do you monitor?

F.A.: “We monitor the temperature of three different kinds of equipment: incubators, refrigerators and deep freezers.”

AES: Why automatically monitor in real time?

F.A.: There are two very good reasons. The first one is the possibility to see all equipment temperatures at a glance and to be warned immediately by an alarm if something is wrong with one of them. And the monitoring is active 24 hours per day, so any malfunctioning of equipment during the night will be disclosed on the PC-screen placed in the laboratorium in the morning.”
The second reason is to gather all information for documentation purposes. The temperatures are automatically read and stored every 10 minutes.
We also save time compared to manual reading since the laboratory is on the first floor, the refrigerators on the second floor and the deep freezers in the cellar”.

AES : What are the key parameters for your choice for the labguard 2 ?

F.A.: “It is very important for us to work in compliance with the 21 CFR Part 11. The new software version (Labguard 2) provides a complete documentation of all parameters. All data, like alarms or modifications are locked to ensure a full traceability.
Print out of the temperature curves are done every month, we conduct a complete audit trail twice a year.”
