I am a pharmacy manager in a hospital with 270 beds. Last summer my hospital had installed a wireless temperature monitoring system purchased from E-Control Systems.
The temperature and humidity monitoring solution, consisting of FusionLive and IntelliSense, provide automated records on all the refrigerated equipment. We implemented the system to monitor all departments 24/7 including Vaccine, Plasma, Blood Banks, Nurse Stations and Food Nutrition. The all in one solution from E-Control Systems also helped us improve our compliance with JCAHO temperature standards.
Last December just before the holidays began, I was putting together the final plans for my family’s vacation, when I heard my cell phone ringing non-stop. I had received numerous alerts on my cell phone that our largest fridge at the blood bank had failed. I then proceeded to check my e-mail and saw more alerts with in depth details about the failing fridge at the blood bank. I rushed to the hospital and to my surprise I saw Dave, our maintenance supervisor already working on the problem. About an hour later Dave reported to me that he had replaced a faulty relay and assured me everything was back in order again.
I am so thankful that E-Control Systems offers a system, specifically for temperature monitoring of hospitals. Besides the 24/7 monitoring, the system provided me and my team with alarm notifications, alarm history, tracked asset and repair information, as well as an executive summary report full of detail. I was finally able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing I had the FusionLive system working for me.
