Protects Blood Products
The ThermaViewer is constructed from high-impact materials and engineered for years of use. It alarms freezers where blood plasma is stored. Blood plasma is normally stored at -30° and must be maintained at that temperature. If the freezer begins to get hot, maintenance needs to be alerted immediately to prevent thawing of the product.
The ThermaViewer triggers an internal alarm, an auto dialer or external alarm (loud siren) if temperature moves out of your limits. It draws a temperature chart on the large LCD display so that maintenance can immediately see what has happened when they arrive after a notification. The temperature chart is also your documented proof that the blood plasma was stored at the proper temperature.
Auto Dialer or Local Alarm
The blood bank temperature alarm's onboard relay triggers an auto dialer or loud siren and flashing strobe if temperature moves out of the user set conditions. You will be alerted no matter what time it is or where you are. The phone dialer calls four different phone numbers and deliver a 16 second message so that you can immediately respond to protect your inventory.
Easy-to-use Setup menus
Not only is your inventory expensive, it can be irreplaceable and should be constantly guarded so it remains fresh and safe. The ThermaViewer is a 24/7 watch-dog device that insures that it remains viable. The refrigerators and freezer used for blood storage are mechanical devices that can and do occasionally fail. The ThermaViewer has two different battery backups so that if the power fails for any reason it will continue to monitor and alarm the tissue storage appliance.
Computer Backup
The blood bank temperature alarm downloads to a computer through a serial port for archiving or to print a paper chart as proof that the freezer operated at the proper temperatures. It comes with the computer interface program and cable
. 
Prints years of temperature history.
Keeps the auditors happy
Most certifying agencies now require a monitor on each freezer where blood plasma is stored to document the temperature 24/7. The ThermaViewer satisfies this requirement perfectly.
No Maintenance
It continually monitors and documents the temperature drawing a temperature chart on the large LCD display. It does not use paper charts or pens and requires no maintenance. This blood plasma freezer alarm operates 24/7.
