Primary Care Pharmacy
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells
We have installed the Kelsius temperature monitoring system throughout the Pharmacy and Aseptic Departments at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells hospital sites.
We wanted to replace Min/Max temperature loggers with a state-of-the-art web-based temperature monitoring system. The new system’s aim was to improve quality control of pharmaceutical products; reduce risk of product loss due to temperature deviations; minimise human errors; save operational time; and record temperature 24x7; alert designated members of staff in the event of a temperature excursion; and comply with legislative and regulatory requirements.
The Kelsius temperature monitoring system meets all our requirements and expectations.

The Kelsius system has provided reliable temperature monitoring in 90 medication fridges across the hospital and makes 24hr monitoring in all areas possible.
It has ensured rapid response to deviation from recommended temperatures and provided important data about fridges and allows trends to be identified.
The potential financial savings within a three-month period was approximately €120,000 if all stock involved had to be discarded.

"When faced with cold chain failure, the system on an annual basis more than pays for itself contributing significantly to product quality assurance and overall patient safety".

The system is user-friendly and weekly reports, graphs and reports can be accessed and interrogated thoroughly. Kelsius staff are always professional, approachable and keen to assist with any issues, queries or future project work.
We have recommended Kelsius to other NHS health boards and pharmacies and would continue to do so in the future.
