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
This compact logging button, which can store up to 2000 readings over a temperature range of -40 to +85C, simply clips securely into the tag.
In addition to the mounting hole, the tag has a powerful built-in magnet so that it can be easily attached to metal trays, trolleys or racking.
Set up and data down-load is achieved simply and quickly using the SL50R Button Reader, without the need to remove the logger from the tag.
The reader interfaces to the RS232 or USB port of a PC and sampling rates can be set from one second to twenty-four hours.
The SL51M is totally compatible with the Signatrol universal TempIT-lite operating software, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Signatrol web site.
The logger can be set up to record in a continuous First-in,First-out, or 'Stop When Full' mode.

The software can be up-graded to TempIT-Pro which provides important additional features such as data table, export data, email graphs, snap to trace, and automated MKT (Mean Kinetic Temperature) calculations.
The TempIT Software is a single package that is used to set up all Signatrol data loggers and enables data from different types of logger to be seamlessly integrated for different applications.
Each unit has the capability of storing specific manifest details and features a unique serial number etched into the base for traceability purposes.
The delayed start facility of up to 45 days allows the logger to be programmed to commence with a particular process or transport schedule.
Alternatively it can be set to start logging when triggered by an event, for instance, when a particular temperature threshold is exceeded.
