Monitor any Refrigerator and/or Freezer

Hospitals, laboratories, doctor's offices, and even National Guard Units store vaccines and medicines in home-style refrigerators and freezers because they are inexpensive and readily available. These units are not built to maintain the same close temperature tolerances that scientific units do but they can be safely used.  Just add the Easy Freezer Alarm to the refrigerator and/or freezer and you are completely protected.

You can, of course, add the Easy Freezer Alarm to a scientific refrigerator or freezer also.  Monitor your -80° freezer to keep a record of the temperatures, to comply with JCAHO regualtions and for alarm notification.  Add the optional auto dialer and receive a phone call if the temperature gets too hot or cold for too long.

Monitoring temperature 24/7

The time-honored method of manually monitoring the refrigerator with a piece of paper stuck to the side of the unit is not adequate nor does it comply with regulations of JCAHO and other regulatory agencies. It is important and necessary to continuously monitor and keep a permanent record of the temperature twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

It is all to easy for a refrigerator or freezer to malfunction, warm up and then cool down while no one is around.  Were this to happen, it would not be noticed with the manual system where temperature is recorded only once or twice a day.  And, of course, with the manual system there is no way to tell what happened over the weekend.

Phone Call Alert

The Easy Freezer Alarm monitors both a refrigerator and a freezer simultaneously, or two different freezers, or two different refrigerators. With the optional auto dialer you will receive a phone call any time the alarm is triggered.  So if the temperature gets too warm or cold for too long or the power fails the auto dialer will call several people and deliver a message.  You will never be unaware of an unsafe condition again.

Audible and Visual Alarm

The easy freezer alarm's built-in buzzer begins to ring and the screen begins to flash whenever your safe zone is exceeded.  An alarm menu is used to set the high and low points and delays. A relay, which is triggered on every alarm can be used to trip an auto-dialer or external alarm.

Need to monitor a vaccines?

Protects vaccines, tissue, food, Inventory etc...

The Freezer Alarm is used in health clinics, pediatricians offices, labs, hospitals, and commercial kitchens to alarm and document freezer and refrigerator temperatures. If the temperature moves outside the safe range for too long or the power fails, the auto dialer calls up to 4 different phone numbers to give a warning so you can respond in time to save your inventory.

Save thousands of dollars

It works with any refrigerator or freezer. Instead of purchasing special laboratory refrigerators or freezers, add the ThermaViewer to any home or commercial refrigerator or freezer at a fraction of the cost. Your inventory will be completely protected and safe because the ThermaViewer monitors and documents the temperature all day, every day. If it begins to get too hot or cold you will be warned immediately by the built in alarm or a phone call to your cell or pager.

Simple installation

This freezer alarm is simple to setup and use. A password-protected menu keeps your settings safe. The chart that is displayed on the LCD panel is so easy to understand that each member of your staff automatically becomes part of your quality control system every time they glance at it. They immediately see if it is normal or something happened while no one was looking.

Documented Proof for Auditors and Regulators

The Easy Freezer Alarm complies with JCAHO and CAP requirements. This easy freezer alarm insures that you comply with the new JCAHO PC.17.10 standard as well as other government regulations. It displays and prints documentation that can be shown to regulators or auditors as proof that your inventory has been properly stored and maintained.

21 CFR 11 Compliant

The easy freezer alarm downloads an encrypted file to your computer for back up and printing.

Built-in Calibration table

NIST traceable calibrated sensors are available. Recalibration can be done in your location by comparing temperature to a certified and calibrated thermometer and entering any offset into the three point onboard calibration table.

Battery Backup

The Freezer Alarm normally operates on wall power. If wall power is interrupted the 9 volt battery takes over and continues to run the unit for up to 40 hours. All monitoring and logging and even alarms will continue to operate normally. The screen will go to sleep after 20 seconds to preserve the battery but this does not affect the collection of data or alarm.

No maintenance or monthly fees.

The Easy Freezer Alarm uses no paper charts or pens and requires no maintenance - there are no moving parts to wear out or replace. The Easy Freezer Alarm is your protection against unsafe temperatures.  If you are using the auto dialer you determine who it will call and the message it will leave.
