Today, hundreds of blood banks around the world
collect donated blood for all kinds of life-saving medical
procedures. Once donated, packaged whole blood is typically
separated into several components; red blood cells, platelets
and plasma.
These components are then stored in high
reliability refrigerators at designated temperatures. Subsequent
handling is also a critical part of maintaining what is called
the material "cold chain."
At Hampshire Controls, we understand all of the
methods and specifications involved with the safe storage and
handling of blood and its various components. Improper storage
is simply not an option because of the profound impact that
waste has on doctors, nurses and the patients.who need such
life-saving materials.
For the refrigerated cold storage of blood and
its components we've engineered the
Model T-Sentry 140 monitor/alarm system. Where many
refrigerators must be monitored and tracked simultaneously, we
can integrate single and/or multiple probe monitors into our
AMS Ethernet network logging/alarm notification system.
For packaged blood and components we offer a
unique and indispensable product; our non-invasive TC
12 Temp Check temperature verification system. This
unit is specially designed to assist trained personnel to safely
determine the bulk temperature of packaged red blood cells,
plasma, platelets and other biologics as they move out of and
into refrigerators and for patient use in various medical
procedures. The unit is ideal for use in blood banks, operating
rooms and laboratories.
Model TC 12: For the digital temperature
verification and handling of blood components and biologics.
