Elpro has announced the release of its new temperature monitoring device, the LIBERO ITS (Indicator Tab Start). The LIBERO ITS is thin and durable to attach at unit-level; making it all the way from point of manufacture to a patient’s refrigerator, or on a clinical kit to patient administration.
The free Smartphone app is a convenience tool for any receiving site, clinic, or pharmacist. It provides one-touch stability budget read-out showing percentage of budget used; alleviating piecing together different Time out of Refrigeration (TOR) segments. The LIBERO ITS Smartphone app also allows the user to print or email the PDF report from app to communicate the release or status of product. The PDF can be archived in a cloud database, liberoMANAGER, still cataloguing the data to support logistics trending.
The LIBERO ITS is fully GxP compliant, having gone through GAMP5 validation, ensuring FDA CFR 21 Part 11 and each device comes with a NIST traceable calibration certificate.
Other features include:
- Pre-configured with specific product stability budget to expedite sending site packaging processes
- End-to-end unbroken temperature monitoring, by using one device on box-level to monitor the entire chain
- Constantly calculates and shows the remaining stability budget, for an immediate go/no go product release decision at any time
- Priced for the box level: <$3 for larger quantities
- 4 year battery life
- <3mm thick, <30x30mm in size, making this very small device easy to add by self-adhesive to any unit-level package
- Status and statistics can be downloaded and documented wireless by LIBERO ITS Smartphone app
- Data can be archived in liberoMANAGER and used for trending and dashboards
“The LIBERO ITS offers end-to-end assurance for increasingly complex global supply chains, with several transit and storage points, and various handlers,” Simon Kaufmann, Product Development Manager at ELPRO said. “It provides unbroken monitoring from point of manufacture, to time of use. At $3 a device, with 4-year battery, this solution solves many problems being of the most cost-effective, long-term solutions on the market.”
