Letterkenny University Hospital strengthens its temperature controls with Kelsius

Maintaining medicines at the correct temperature is essential for protecting product quality and supporting patient safety.

At Letterkenny University Hospital, the pharmacy team needed a more reliable and efficient way to monitor temperature-controlled storage across multiple wards and departments. Manual temperature recording was replaced with Kelsius’ automated, paperless monitoring system.

 

 

Wireless sensors now continuously monitor storage temperatures and automatically alert staff when readings move outside defined limits. Authorised users can securely access live readings, historical data and traceable reports, helping the team respond quickly and prepare more efficiently for audits.

The system has improved oversight, reduced the risk of human error and significantly lowered the potential for costly product loss. According to the hospital’s Chief Pharmacist, the system recovered its costs within one year and helped save more than €40,000.
