Boomerang
The Boomerang automatic temperature logging system makes monitoring and quality assurance of your laboratory simple. Boomerang automatically collects information about temperatures, for example in refrigerators, freezers, incubators and heating cabinets. An alarm is generated immediately if the pre-set thresholds are exceeded. Boomerang is designed to be flexible and offers several different ways of receiving the alarm – for example, via SMS, e-mail or flashing lights and an audio signal.
Wireless communication allows the monitoring to be centralised, irrespective of the number of measurement points or laboratories covered by the system. Boomerang saves all measurement data and features integrated procedures for creating security copies (backups). Reports of historical data can be generated at any time and in various formats, for example Excel. Boomerang measures not only temperature, but also relative humidity (RH), carbon dioxide (CO2), pressure, airborne particles and many other parameters.
Boomerang offers a range of benefits to help with the quality assurance of your laboratory:
- Saves time
- Continuous, reliable measurements
- Monitoring 24/7
- Alarm in the event of any deviations
- Automatic documentation and traceability
- User-friendly handling
- Assurance
– Automatic logging ensures continuous monitoring
– Alarms, reminders and warnings keep you informed
– Log in to see the status of your system immediately - Security
– A secure system always has independent, external sensors
– Boomerang was developed in accordance with GLP, GMP and FDA 21 CFR part 11
– A security copy of all data is made automatically - Traceability
– All data (measurements, events, calibration, etc.) are stored in your database with timestamps
– The history can be used to generate graphs and lists
– It is easy to create reports with exactly the data you wish to include - Flexibility
– Many available sensors: temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, pressure, etc.
– Wireless or hard-wired communication
– Logging intervals, delays, thresholds and alarms can be configured as you wish - Efficiency
– Taking data readings manually is time-consuming, less precise and less reliable
– Alarms and warnings via SMS or as light/audio alarms minimise process interruptions and losses
– Easy to perform quality audits since all information from your database can be shown in reports, lists or graphs
