DOCUMENTED PROOF FOR AUDITORS AND REGULATORS
The TV2 Freezer Alarm complies with all CDC, JCAHO, FDA and CAP requirements. It displays and prints charts or temperature lists for regulators or auditors as proof that your inventory has been properly stored and maintained.All logged data is stored in an encrypted format and can be electronically signed. All downloaded files are encrypted with 128 bit encryption. Once the data has been logged to the Freezer Alarm it can never be changed, even after being downloaded to a computer as long as they are stored in the TV2 format. Of course, if they are imported into Excel the encryption is broken..
BUILT-IN CALIBRATION TABLE
NIST traceable calibrated sensors are available. Re-calibration can be done by metrology labs or even at your location by comparing the temperature to a certified and/or calibrated instrument. Each sensor has its own calibration table which is user accessible.
BATTERY BACKUP FOR POWER FAILURE PROTECTION
The TV2 Freezer Alarm is powered via the USB cable plugged into a wall-power plug or a PC. If power is interrupted, the internal batteries take over and continue to run the unit for up to 100 hours. All monitoring and logging and even alarms will continue to operate normally while running on battery. The display may go to sleep to preserve the battery but this does not affect the collection of data or alarms. Batteries are automatically recharged when power is restored.
NO HIDDEN COSTS.
There are no monthly fees. You own this TV2 Freezer Alarm and dialer. You decide when and who the auto dialer calls to deliver your sixteen-second prerecorded message, if you are using the optional auto dialer. The TV2 is completely stand alone and will operate without a computer. No one has to check on it every month. It uses no paper charts or pens and requires no maintenance – there are no moving parts to wear out or replace.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION: VIDEO
The TV2 freezer alarm is simple to install and use. Begin by placing each sensor into the freezer you want to monitor. The sensor can be positioned anywhere in the freezer or placed in a bottle of glycol. The sensors are fully immersible. After positioning the sensors, supply power to the display. The Setup menu will appear so you can set the date, time and sample interval. The TV2 Freezer Alarm immediately begins to collect, log and chart temperatures. Lastly set your alarm parameters.
