Data Loggers For Washer / Disinfector Validation- Signatrol UK
Portable data logger ensures there are no ‘washday blues’
Signatrol are introducing their innovative SL130T temperature data logger for use directly in washing machines and sterilizers. The self-contained SL130T has been primarily developed for hospitals, but can be used in any commercial or domestic washing machine, sterilizer or autoclave. With heightened awareness of hospital super bugs, validating that items as diverse as clothes, laundry and bedpans are washed at high enough temperatures, for sufficient time, is vitally important.
The SL130T has an operational temperature range from -30º to +140 ºC and the data logger electronics and battery are housed in a robust PTFE cylindrical casing providing sealing to IP68. The perforated end of the casing protects the external stainless steel sensor, whilst still allowing a minimum response time of around four seconds.
Set-up and download of data is carried out using a PC running Signatrol’s proprietary TempIT™ Lite software via the infra red base station. The use of infra red technology removes the need for troublesome external plugs or sockets on the data logger. Logging intervals between 2 seconds and 24 hours can be programmed and readings are stored to the internal memory, which has a maximum capacity of over 8000 readings. Once downloaded, data are stored in secure format, protected from manipulation, and can be displayed in graphical form and printed out.
TempIT™ Pro software is also available as an upgrade, which provides a data table mode enabling data to be exported to spreadsheets and emailed to remote sites. In addition, TempIT™Pro automatically calculates Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT).
The unit also features programmable Hi-Lo time/temperature alarms and storage capability for owner and user manifest details.
The SL130T is part of Signatrol’s extensive range of data loggers and instrumentation.
