CLEVELAND - OhioPen -- Sigma-Tau Pharma Improves Temperature Management With Wireless Tech

Maintaining the integrity of pharmaceuticals throughout the distribution chain is paramount. Exposure to temperatures or humidity outside of the specified range during storage or transport can affect their quality, efficacy, and expiration period. For companies like Sigma-Tau Pharma, a leading international manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, adhering to Good Distribution Practice (GDP) regulations is not just a requirement – it's an essential part of their operations.

Italy's Sigma-Tau Pharma AG needed better temperature and humidity monitoring for their distribution network. Traditional methods didn't provide real-time data or flexibility. They solved this with MSR145WD wireless data loggers from MSR Electronics GmbH, which store up to 1 million data points and operate for months on a rechargeable battery.

The MSR145WD loggers offer several key advantages:

• Uncompromising Accuracy: Precisely measure & record temperature and humidity levels, ensuring data integrity and reliability.
• Extensive Data Storage: Capture and store a significant volume of data, providing a comprehensive historical record of storage conditions.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Wireless Communications: Connect read-out data using a smartphone or tablet from up to 30 feet away to simplify data retrieval.
• Seamless Connectivity: Integrate seamlessly with the MSR SmartCloud, enabling remote data access, real-time monitoring, and automated alerts.
• User-Friendly Design: Compact and easy to deploy, with intuitive user interfaces for data retrieval and analysis.

Sigma-Tau benefits from advanced data loggers for key advantages:

• Enhanced Product Quality: Consistent monitoring ensures optimal storage conditions, safeguarding the quality and efficacy of pharmaceuticals throughout the distribution chain.
• Streamlined Compliance: The system provides a robust audit trail, facilitating compliance with GDP regulations and minimizing the risk of non-compliance.
• Improved Efficiency: Automated data collection and analysis streamline workflows, freeing up valuable time for other critical tasks.
• Proactive Issue Resolution: Real-time monitoring and automated alerts enable the proactive identification and resolution of potential storage issues, minimizing the risk of product degradation.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: The comprehensive data collected provides valuable insights into storage conditions, enabling data-driven decisions to optimize distribution processes and improve overall operational efficiency.

Implementing MSR145WD data loggers has proven to be a significant success for Sigma-Tau Pharma. By embracing this innovative technology, the company has strengthened its commitment to quality, enhanced its compliance posture, and gained a competitive edge in the pharmaceutical market.
