VackerGlobal provides Temperature Mapping Study, Temperature Qualification and Temperature \"purpose,Validation for Cold Chain segments. These are applicable for Pharma and Food segments. We offer various tests & analysis for life sciences, pharmaceutical and food segments. We call these segments as cold chain systems. It involves the segments involved in the manufacture, storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive products.<\/p>\n

What is Temperature Mapping Study, Validation & Qualification?<\/h2>\n

Temperature mapping study analyzes the distribution of temperature and humidity. This test is across the temperature-controlled area under various practical conditions. We carry out these tests to check the uniformity of the temperature within the area. This is applicable for cold rooms, warehouse, refrigerator and vans for transportation. These are for transportation and storage of medicines, vaccines and foods. Please see our video for a detailed understanding.\"Thermal<\/a><\/p>\n

Assets which need Temperature mapping study, qualification & validation<\/h3>\n

We cover all the following categories of facilities. These are for storage and transportation of medicines, vaccines, food etc.:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Walk-in chillers and freezers for storage purposes.<\/li>\n
  2. Cold rooms for storage of medicines, typically between 2 to 8\u00b0C for medicines.<\/li>\n
  3. Warehouses for storage of medicines, typically between 15 to 25\u00b0C and under 65% RH.<\/li>\n
  4. Refrigerators for keeping medicines, vaccines etc.<\/li>\n
  5. Freezers for keeping plasma, medicines etc.<\/li>\n
  6. Vans and Reefer trucks for transportation\u00a0of medicines, between 2 to 8\u00b0C or 15 to 25\u00b0C.<\/li>\n
  7. Autoclaves and stability chambers which have to generate controlled temperature and humidity.\"steps,<\/li>\n
  8. Temperature stability chambers, Temperature & Humidity stability chambers.<\/li>\n
  9. Cool cells, Thermal boxes, Cold Stores etc. in Airports for Airport logistics for CEIV and IATA certification.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Procedure for Temperature Mapping Study & Temperature Qualification<\/h4>\n

    We study the whole system under various conditions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Empty condition without any loads inside the storage area.<\/li>\n
    2. The fully loaded condition with 100% loads within the storage area.<\/li>\n
    3. 60 to 70% loaded condition, in which the area will have loads up to 60 to 70% of the storage area.<\/li>\n
    4. Power failure condition\u00a0to study the duration for which the room will remain
      \nwithin limits after a power failure without opening the door.<\/li>\n
    5. We test the door opening conditions. This will establish the duration for door opening without affecting the interiors. We independently test all doors.<\/li>\n
    6. We carry out the startup verification process. This is to find out the duration required to achieve the desired cooling upon startup.\"temperature<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Protocol for Temperature Mapping Study, Temperature Qualification & Validation<\/h5>\n
      \n
      We carry out the process of temperature mapping study as per the protocol. We issue this before the test for approval by the client. The protocol indicates various details of the assets and methods of various tests. In the protocol, we also consider the usual operating practices of the customer. We incorporate these aspects while carrying out the tests.<\/span><\/div>\n
      Suppose the customer always operates the vehicle at around 50 % load, In such a case, it is ideal that we carry out the test at 50% loaded condition also. Suppose we qualify a vehicle for 2 to 8 Degree Centigrade. This means that the entire storage area of the vehicle will remain within 2 and 8 Degree Celsius. This is subject to the current set of cooling unit, evaporator, sensor, controller etc.<\/span><\/div>\n
      Consider that we qualify a box for 2 to 8 Degree <\/span>centigrade. This means that the box will remain within 2 and 8 Degree for a certain duration. So the customer should not keep the medicine for a longer duration. Also, we identify critical conditions such as the duration for which you can keep the door open. If there \"Whyare any suggestions and corrective actions, we state the same in the final report. This pro<\/span>cess <\/span>will qualify your Warehouse, Cold Room, Chiller, Vehicle or Boxes. This means that they are suitable for storage a<\/span>nd transportation of Food & Medicine.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Temperature mapping study using Bluetooth & WiFi data loggers<\/h4>\n

      In the conventional method of temperature mapping, we use normal data loggers to record the data. After the tests, we remove all\u00a0data loggers and download the data. The disadvantage is that if there are excursions, we will not notice until we download the data. In the case of corrective actions, the customer has to undertake the corrective actions and carry out the complete test once again. This will result in huge expenditure on cost and time.<\/p>\n

      \"temperature<\/p>\n

      In order to overcome this problem, we can use wireless data loggers. We will be using wireless monitoring systems<\/a> instead of data loggers. There are different types of wireless data loggers. We use Bluetooth data loggers<\/a> for the same purpose. The data transmission is in real-time through a local server or a cloud-based server. We can monitor the data in real-time.<\/p>\n

      In the case of excursions of temperature or humidity, it can generate alerts. Upon receiving alerts, the customer can look for problems and can take corrective actions. We can start retesting upon completion of the corrective actions. The data loggers can remain in the same locations while undertaking corrective actions. Thus a huge amount of money and time can be saved in the process.<\/p>\n

      Software validation for temperature monitoring systems<\/h4>\n

      We offer validation of software of temperature\u00a0 & humidity monitoring systems. For many clients, there is a requirement to validate the software. We can do this after installation by the pharma distributor in their warehouse or cold room. We carry out such validation on software by\u00a0different manufacturers. Also, we offer validation of software for the temperature tracking system for vehicles. Please see more on our services for software validation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
