A leading pharmaceutical company has implemented Fourtec’s MicroLite 5032 data loggers to monitor and validate temperature conditions during last-mile distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
COVID-19 vaccines, like most temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, require strict environmental control throughout the supply chain. Maintaining proper refrigerated conditions at the point of use is essential to protect vaccine quality and ensure patient safety.
Vaccines stored in medical-grade refrigerators at clinics, pharmacies, and mobile units must be continuously monitored to confirm compliance with precise temperature guidelines.
The company’s requirements
The company required a monitoring solution that:
- Operated independently within refrigeration units.
- Delivered accurate, time-stamped temperature data.
- Enabled quick access to temperature data points.
- Required minimal infrastructure and is easy to deploy across multiple sites.
The benefits of Fourtec loggers
The company chose to implement Fourtec’s compact, standalone MicroLite Temp 5032 USB loggers, available from ESIS. These are placed directly into the refrigerators used to store vaccines in the final stage before use.
The loggers are easily configured and managed across multiple sites using DataSuite desktop software and the FourtecLite Android app. These software solutions, available free of charge via Fourtec’s website or App stores, allow the company to:
- Monitor and analyse temperature data over time using graphs and tables.
- Receive alarm notifications for any out-of-range readings (once connected to the software/app via computer or Android device).
- Generate PDF reports and export to Excel or CSV formats.
The MicroLite data loggers provide a compact, reliable and cost-effective monitoring solution to help maintain vaccine integrity through to point of use.
