Transcript of Pharmaceutical Supply Chain and Temperature Monitoring
60% to 80% of alarms is reported false – this leads to enormous waste of time, effort and money
A study has shown that between 14% and 35% of refrigerators or transport shipments were found to have exposed vaccines to freezing temperature.
Accidental freezing of vaccines is a largely overlooked problem, yet freeze-sensitive vaccines represented over 31% of the US$ 439 million UNICEF spent on all vaccines in 2005.
Challenges in pharmaceutical cold chain
Storage outside 2ºC to 8ºC range can render vaccines ineffective
The NIST-CDC is collaborating with the goal to lower the rate at which vaccines are lost due to excursions beyond the acceptable range of temperatures, which can occur during transportation between the manufacturing location and place of administration.
Based on the findings of a large-scale analysis published in 2007
AntTail provides transparancy in the supply chain. AntTail designs and delivers products and services that monitor the temperature of medicine during transport and storage from manufacturer to end user. Smart sensors allow pharmaceutical companies, health providers and logistic service providers to monitor the temperature of shipments online and assure product quality. AntTails cloud based secure SaaS-solution works with existing cold chain solutions, avoiding investments and complex implementations.
Compliance is in our DNA: CFR 21 part 11 for all our data, GAMP5 for all our systems.
