Signatrol has added a dual temperature transmitter to its wireless SpYdaq monitoring system.
The transmitter enables users to monitor temperature at two locations in close proximity to each other - such as fridges.
This, according to the company, will reduce costs and makes it particularly suitable for blood storage applications.
SpyDaq 1010 has two sensors, each ranging from -40°C to 125°C, connected to a single SpYdaq transmitter, which can be located at strategic points.
The SpYdaq 1010 is particularly useful for blood storage since one sensor can monitor the fridge temperature to alert the user to any immediate issues, while the other sensor can be placed inside the simulated blood pouch to monitor the actual blood core temperature and the effect that any temperature excursions may have had on blood quality.
Using two sensors also now extends the number of monitoring points on a basic system to 32.
SpYdaq is designed to offer an alternative to hard wired options, allowing users to deploy sensors in various locations, without the restrictions and cost of hard wiring.
Results can be monitored from a PC, either locally or anywhere in the world via web access.
