Protect temperature-sensitive products with reliable refrigerator monitoring and instant alerts. The system continuously monitors refrigerator temperatures and quickly notifies designated users when conditions move outside the defined limits.
In one recent case in Sioux City, Iowa, more than 1,000
families were notified by letter and telephone that their
children needed to be vaccinated again. Officials
discovered that the clinic’s cold-storage unit repeatedly
dropped below freezing during a 17-month period in 2005
and 2006, potentially ruining the stored vaccines. Dr. Ray
Sturdevant, president of the local pediatric clinic, said
that the issue had gone unnoticed.
Poor refrigeration has been blamed for similar problems
elsewhere around the country over the past 2 1/2 years. In
St. Cloud, Minnesota, a clinic had to vaccinate 8,600 patients
again, most of them children. In Lane County, Oregon, 500
children and adults needed another shot. In western Florida,
a similar incident affected about 250 children.
The TV2 Refrigerator Alarm monitors, alarms, charts and logs your refrigerators. It alarms as many as four refrigerators or freezers, continually recording the temperature in non-volatile memory and drawing a temperature chart on the Easy-Touch™ display.
If any refrigerator gets too warm or cold, an alarm is triggered telling you what caused the alarm and sends an email or calls your phone to warn you.
The TV2 refrigerator alarm has a high and low temperature alarm for each of its sensors. To prevent false alarms, each one has a delay time so that although opening the refrigerator door or loading in warm product may cause a temporary rise in temperature, it will not trigger the alarm.
Only a serious rise or fall in temperature will be enough to trigger the alarm. The refrigerator alarm also has a power-out alarm to warn you anytime a power failure occurs.
The battery backup will keep the TV2 working for at least 100 hours even if the power goes out. You will have a complete temperature log even if your building is without power.
Increasing employee awareness of the refrigerator temperature keeps most temperature problems from getting out of control. They can be caught before they become dangerous or critical. The TV2 Refrigerator alarm helps keep your employees aware of the temperature all the time.
The current temperature and Max/Min turns red any time a temperature moves out of the safe range. If someone sees a red temperature, they can touch the temperature to see what is going on.
A temperature history chart will be displayed so they can see how long the temperature has been unsafe. A quick glance at this chart immediately tells them what the temperature is and whether it has been safe during the last several days.
The digital temperature history chart is continually updated and can be expanded to see temperature trends or zoomed into for a closer look at individual temperatures.
The chart even has a trace mode so you can see what time and day individual temperatures were recorded. The chart can also be printed out, exported to Excel or Word with the free secure TV View software.
This TV2 refrigerator alarm complies with the JCAHO PC.17.10 standard as well as CAP recommendations.
Using the auto download capabilities of the free PC software makes it possible to always have documented proof for auditors and inspectors. The secure TV View software makes continual backup files for every month and facilitates printing out paper charts on demand.

The TV2 refrigerator alarm automatically logs all temperatures and downloads encrypted files to your computer for backup and printing to comply with government agency regulations (21 CFR 11). All logged data is encrypted and an electronic signature attached to each saved record stored on your computer.
In addition all logged data is stored in the monitor itself in non-volatile RAM so even if you never download it to a computer you can always review the temperature history.
