Berlinger is a leader in electronic temperature monitoring for the healthcare industry. For more than 30 years we have worked with major drug manufacturers and regulators to successfully monitor and protect temperature sensitive drugs shipping around the world. Our mission is to produce highly accurate and reliable products that enable our customers to make informed decisions when handling temperature sensitive products. Product Overview The Fridge-tag® 2 is designed to help the pharmacy properly record refrigerator temperatures and produce monthly reports. After listening to pharmacists and regulators, Berlinger reprogrammed and redesigned its original product to bridge a gap between regulatory requirements and device capabilities. The Fridge-tag® 2 produces a 60 day report that can be printed, emailed and stored. It comes with an NIST traceable certificate of accuracy. Simply detach it from the external probe, connect it to any computer via USB, and download the report like a removable memory stick. Software is not needed. Fridge-tag® 2 reports are 21 CFR Part 11 compliant to meet FDA and CDC requirements. Pharmacists are immunizing more patients. Increasingly, pharmacies are also holding high value biological products for patients who “brown bag” their drugs to the doctor’s office. Recording refrigerator temperatures is critical to meet regulatory requirements, to insure drug efficacy and to reduce potential drug loss due to power outages or human error. Testimonials “I have searched the web and nothing else more closely matches our need for information than the Fridge-tag® 2” — Garry L. “You don’t have to be an engineer to start or operate the device. Just point and click for the 60 day pdf report every month.” — Kimberly S. “We put the Fridge-tag® in all of our pharmacies to monitor the stand-alone refrigerators.” — Donna M. “I didn’t need this product until the power went out over-night. I had to throw away a $500 syringe because I didn’t have data on the maximum temperature or time out of refrigeration.” — Patel G. Key Distribution Partners Lake Erie Wholesale Medical Supply, Inc.
