Real-time monitoring with elproMONITOR

Daily, the prevailing environmental conditions in refrigerators, storage rooms, or production areas where various medical products are stored or manufactured are critically checked in pharmacies, hospitals, and other clinical centers. The climate data are then either recorded manually in a time-consuming manner or stored locally. Usually, multiple people and departments are involved in this process, making optimal monitoring even more complex and prone to errors, and also leading to a lack of clear overview. Often, there is no time to create helpful reports from the recorded values or to analyze individual sensors. In case of an alarm, the values can often only be checked and approved on-site, or further steps can be initiated. elproMONITOR takes over all these tasks – simply and straightforwardly.

The qualified system elproMONITOR

ELPRO launched elproMONITOR in February 2015; this helpful tool makes all process parameters of the central monitoring system visible in a single solution. It offers numerous new features and ensures complete control over the monitored environments. Additionally, elproMONITOR fully complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, GLP, GAMP 5, and Annex 11 guidelines.

Accessible climate data anytime – secure and controlled

The entire setup and operation are managed centrally via the customer's server, rather than – as before – via a local PC. With the help of an optional web interface, recorded data can be viewed at any time from anywhere in the world – regardless of your current location. It enables responsible personnel to act and plan more flexibly. The data of monitored parameters, such as temperature or humidity, are stored uniformly in a database. The advantage is that multiple data points can be combined and long-term analyses can be created. By analyzing specific deviations, these can be checked more precisely, commented on, and subsequently approved. Searching for historical events is also simple through filtering by time and date. Predefined report options for automated status and deviation notifications save valuable time. elproMONITOR is easy to install and simple to operate. The optional integration with the existing user management system (Active Directory) further simplifies administration.

Alarm functions

The sensor-based system allows for individual monitoring and analysis of equipment and devices. For specific user groups, customized alarm options can be set up and assigned to individual sensors. In case of an alarm, the appropriate persons are automatically notified. This ensures reliable monitoring of all systems, significantly increasing safety. Notifications can be sent via email, SMS, or phone call. A local audiovisual alarm is also possible.

Overall, elproMONITOR offers a comprehensive monitoring solution for supervising and analyzing critical environmental conditions in refrigerators, storage rooms, or production areas, saving considerable time and providing economic benefits.
