Assisting optimisation of sterilisation processes
The Signatrol Temp-IT universal data logging software now has F0 calculation functionality, specifically developed for the validation of anti-bacterial steam sterilisation and cooking processes
Competitive units are typically too large and expensive for this purpose, but the battery powered SL54TH, measuring only 17 mm in diameter and 6 mm thick, can be placed discreetly in packs and containers containing tablets, vaccines and capsules.
The unit can operate in the temperature range from -20C to +85C and up to 100%RH.
A maximum of 8,000 data points can be recorded, with sample rates programmable from one second to 24 hours.
Configuration and data download to a PC or laptop can be carried out quickly and efficiently using the dedicated SL 50 Button Reader, via the RS232 or USB port.
As with all Signatrol data loggers, the SL54TH is compatible with their Temp-IT common platform software.
The Temp-IT Lite version, which offers full set-up configuration, data down load and basic graphical capabilities, is available free of charge from the Signatrol website.
For a nominal cost this can be upgraded to the comprehensive Temp-IT Pro version, which includes features such as data export to spread sheets, emailing of graphs and automatic MKT (Mean Kinetic Temperature) calculation.
A fully FDA compliant version supporting electronic signatures is also to be released.
The SL54M MiniTag version is designed for travelling with consignments of delicate cargoes.
The logger simply clips securely into the high visibility bright yellow tag, which, in addition to the mounting hole, has a powerful built-in magnet so that it can be easily attached to metal trays, trolleys or racking.
The data can be downloaded without the need to remove the logger from the tag.
The delayed start feature allows units to be set up ahead of the prescribed monitoring period, thereby preserving logging capability.
This can be set for up to one year ahead or can be 'event' initiated whereby the start will be triggered if temperature or humidity levels go outside predetermined thresholds.
Software alarms can also be set for particular tolerance levels for both parameters.
