AeroScout selected for wireless temperature monitoring of hospital fridges and freezers

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

AeroScout announced that Adventist Health System has selected its temperature monitoring solution to wirelessly monitor and manage the temperatures of Adventist’s hospital refrigerators and freezers.

The AeroScout temperature monitoring solution is designed to it relieve nursing staff from having to keep manual temperature logs, saving time and effort that can be spent focusing on patient care. If the temperature within a monitored area goes outside its specified range, an alert is sent to a 24-hour IT team.


With AeroScout’s temperature monitoring solution, users can determine why temperature changes occurred - if a freezer door was left open, or if there is a greater malfunction that requires corrective actions. Users can also tell when the temperature change occurred, to determine if the contents are still safe for use.

Adventist Health System has worked with AeroScout prior to this selection, deploying its Wi-Fi RFID solution at Florida Hospital to automate tracking of temperatures within fringes and freezers containing pharmaceuticals and tissue samples, and to facilitate regulatory compliance. [end]

When a pregnant woman is admitted to hospital, she is provided a tag with a unique identification which can be read in all the maternity zones. When the baby is born, an RFID tag specially designed for the new born is fitted to its ankle. The device monitors the infant 24 hours a day, detecting unauthorized movements, registering entries and exits to and from and enabling immediate location information.
