LogTag Temperature Recorder:
The LogTag temperature recorder (pictured to the right) records vaccine
temperature data over time
Temperature is recorded from a probe inside the refrigerator cabinet,
surrounded by transfer gel, providing a
simulated vaccine core
temperature.
Temperature information is downloaded to a PC, using the
LogTag Analyser software provided (see
Setting up the LogTag
on
Page 7
).
This information can be used in regulatory audits and insurance
claims, to provide an accurate representation of vaccine core temperature inside the
Medisafe refrigerator, during its operation.
Temperature patterns are recorded over time, providing indication of damaged seals,
or changes in operating temperature.
The LogTag recorder must be connected to the PC immediately after it has been removed
from the Medisafe for downloading, and reconnected to the Medisafe prior to starting, otherwise
false readings will result!
DO NOT USE vaccines exposed to temperatures below +2°C or above +8°C, as recorded by
your LogTag, without obtaining further advice. Do not discard these vaccines. Isolate vaccines
and contact the State/Territory health authorities for advice on the National Immunisation
Program vaccines and the manufacturer/supplier for privately purchased vaccines.
Recommendations for the discarding of vaccines may differ between health authorities and
manufacturers
. Do not discard any vaccines until you discuss the necessary actions.
