Reliable Environmental Monitoring for Hospitals, Pharmacies, and Clinical Facilities
Maintaining precise environmental conditions in hospitals is essential for the safety, efficacy, and integrity of drugs, vaccines, blood and tissue products, and critical medical devices. Continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, and other key parameters ensures that these products remain within validated limits at all times. Humidity control can be particularly challenging—and crucial—in operating rooms, compounding areas, and neonatal units, where patient safety and compliance intersect.
Various regulatory and accreditation bodies—including state health departments, The Joint Commission, the MHRA, and local health authorities/agencies—ensure compliance in applications such as:
- Storage, handling, and distribution of temperature-sensitive medicines, blood, tissue, or organs
- Processing and storage of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) for clinical trials
- Handling of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs)
- Compounding pharmacies
Compliance Requires Continuous Visibility
To meet regulatory expectations and accreditation requirements, hospitals must be able to detect, document, and respond to excursions. Vaisala’s continuous monitoring system provides secure, 24/7 oversight of critical environments, with remote alerts sent to designated personnel. The system ensures that out-of-spec conditions and communication failures are addressed promptly, eliminating the need for manual checks and paper documentation.
Application Note: Monitoring Ultra-low temperatures
Simplified Access and Reporting
Reports are customizable, easy to export, and audit-ready. Users frequently cite the system’s intuitive reporting and trend analysis as key advantages—especially during hospital surveys. Easily accessible reports ensure surveyors have evidence of good clinical practices, complete documentation of conditions, and full compliance with standards and product specifications.
