GE Launches RF Real Time Wireless Validation System At Interphex Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Conference
Billerica, Mass. – April 24, 2007 GE Sensing, a market leader
in thermal validation systems, is launching its first RF real time,
wireless validation system at its booth (# 2300) at the Interphex
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Conference and Exhibition in New York
City from April 24-26. The new Kaye
RF ValProbe® offers operators the option to view data in real
time without the need or cost of wiring or collecting historical data
from remote loggers. This feature is invaluable for verifying system
set-up prior to studies or for verifying status at critical times
during studies.
This breakthrough in validation metrology has been made possible by
integrating reliable and robust RF Mesh technology and multiple-redundant
data storage with the highly accurate measuring capabilities of the
ValProbe®. The resulting system consists of RF wireless loggers, a
base station and software. The loggers provide high accuracy measurement
of temperature, pressure and humidity through 4-20mA and 0-10V outputs.
External and internal temperature
transmitters provide increased flexibility for a variety of applications.
Data can be collected from many loggers and distributed over a wide
area. The Mesh networking technology ensures that no data is lost,
by permitting loggers to route data to another logger for subsequent
forwarding, if the direct path to the base station is blocked.
The software and data reporting features that accompany the RF technology enable regulatory-compliant text and graph reports, eliminating the need to download data to a separate spreadsheet program, saving time and reducing the risk of data analysis errors. Data is protected with the encryption.
The principal area of application for the new system is in the validation and monitoring of environmental chambers and storage areas, such as stability chambers, freezers, refrigerators and warehouses. As Tim Wortley, Senior Global Product Manager at GE Sensing, comments, “The integration of RF Mesh technology into thermal validation instrumentation is a major breakthrough. The fact that we have taken RF technology to a new level of data integrity, security and validation meets a longstanding need of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.”
