Each year, hospitals potentially lose tens of millions of pounds worth of drugs and plasma products, simply due to the malfunction of refrigeration and storage environmental conditions. Further, failure to adequately control the environment for biological specimens can cause delay to, or failure of, patient condition diagnosis.

This loss involves not just the cost of the drugs/plasma products; consider a multi-million pound clinical investigation or research project that is put in jeopardy due to unavailable or faulty materials - not to mention the possible legal implications for patient care.

How can Hanwell help? Hanwell Instruments Limited have developed a range of environmental monitoring and data acquisition products that use wireless communications. Such units are second to none in functionality and versatility. We have worked hard evolving our designs to provide superior, reliable technology, which is now integrated into our complete range of products.

For example, the rl2000 sensor. A small, battery operated unit with an expected battery life in excess of 24 months. Fully transportable, the rl-2000 is totally wireless enabling mounting on portable equipment. In addition, under ideal conditions, the radio range can be up to 2 miles.

For even more advanced monitoring you can add Hanwell Smart Receivers. These units enable environmental conditions to be monitored from a PC, in real-time, from remote installations across wide area networks or different geographical locations to a central location, creating exceptional flexibility. By utilising layout drawings, a graphical representation of sensor layout is displayed with all associated live readings.

Hanwell sensors are calibrated to traceable national standards, and our validated software complies with 21 CFR part 11 certification standards for controlled access and archival storage. Reporting is a standard feature of the software with bespoke customisations available.
