Thousands of blood banks around the world collect
donated blood for life-saving medical procedures. Once donated,
packaged whole blood is typically separated into three
components: red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. These
components are then stored in reliable refrigerators at
designated temperatures. It is critical to maintain the cold
chain in the subsequent handling and use of the components.
At Hampshire Controls, our mission is to
safeguard your precious biological materials and we understand
the methods and specifications associated 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 the waste of these life-savings materials has on patients
and medical professionals.
For the refrigerated cold storage of blood and
its components, Hampshire Controls has engineered the Model
T° Sentry 140 to both monitor refrigerator
temperatures and provide alerts when the temperature is out of
range. Where several refrigerators must be monitored and tracked
simultaneously, Hampshire Controls can integrate single or
multiple probe monitors into our T
Sentry ALERT Monitoring System network
logging and alarm condition notification software package.
For packaged blood and components, we offer a
unique and indispensable product; our non-invasive TC-12 TEMP-CHECK Rapid Response
Thermometer temperature verification system. The
TC-12 safely and rapidly displays the bulk temperature of
packaged red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and other biologics
as they are transferred to and from refrigerators and before
patient use in medical procedures. The TC-12 is used extensively
in blood banks, operating rooms, and biological
laboratories.
