Temperature monitoring guidelines issued by the MHRA, dictate that controlled drugs and vaccine inventory must meet benchmarks that deliver maximum efficacy and shelf-life. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry is subject to regular audits for compliance to these guidelines as an integral part of the regulatory process.
Pharmaceutical Temperature Monitoring for Compliance
To meet such strict protocols, a comprehensive regimen of pharmaceutical temperature monitoring and accurate record-keeping is the cornerstone of the compliance strategy for any facility mass producing, warehousing and distributing small molecule pharma.
Manual pharmaceutical temperature monitoring at the level of detail needed is time-consuming, lacks the requisite accuracy for total peace of mind and a poor use of highly-qualified resources.
Monitoring for Financial Risk Management
Furthermore, in the manufacture and storage of large molecule pharmaceuticals, not only is the inventory a potential compliance risk, but the sheer value of the inventory is such that a monitoring system involving remote monitoring and alarming is mandated for full protection.
