An estimated 17% to 37% of providers expose vaccines to improper storage temperatures. Refrigerator temperatures are more commonly kept too cold than too warm. Out-of-range temperature readings require IMMEDIATE action. It is estimated that more than $100 million worth of vaccine is exposed to freezing temperatures each year in the United States.  -CDC's MMWR October 24, 2003 / 52(42);1023-1025

Environmental Monitoring Can Help You...

  • Reduce cost of temperature monitoring and recording:
    • Example 1: A hospital with 100 refrigerated units monitors and records temperatures twice daily taking 5 minutes each to perform the process. That’s 1000 minutes a day or 16 hours and 40 minutes a day this equates to 6,083 hours a year.  At $29/hr [Nurse full benefits cost], this equals to $176,417 a year.
    • Example 2: A clinic with one refrigerated unit monitors and records temperatures twice daily taking 5 minutes each to perform the process. That’s 10 minutes a day or 3,650 minutes a year. This equates to 60 hours and 50 minutes a year at $29/hr [Nurse full benefits cost].  This equals to $1,764.17 a year.
  • Eliminate product loss due to compromised storage temperature.

  • Reduce medical liability from accidentally vaccinating patients with ineffective vaccine or providing medications that are ineffective due to a compromised storage environment.

  • Helps achieve compliance with USP 797 temperature guidelines, JCAHO MM.2.20 & EC.6.10 standards, CDC standards, and FDA 21 CFR (Part 11, Part 210, Part 211) guidelines.

  • Document process improvement efforts as part of a QA / QC program.

  • Provide a comprehensive roadmap to satisfy the audit portion of critical contained environment areas.
