Mitigating Cold Stock Loss: The Three Tiers of Technology

Liebherr pharmaceutical fridges are purpose-built pharmaceutical refrigerators with special features to prevent cold stock loss:

• Stable temperature – temperature in the fridge is maintained at an impressive maximum deviation of just ±2 °C from the set temperature and ensures the storage temperature is controlled between 2°C and 8°C.
• It comes with high/low temperature and power failure alarms with audio and visual alerts.
• One-touch access to minimum and maximum temperature records.
• Effective temperature recovery once the door is closed after being left open (approximately 10 minutes).
• +2 SafetyDevice – if the temperature in the fridge drops below 2 °C due to a malfunction, the SafetyDevice takes control, stabilises the temperature, activates the alarm and protects the contents from freezing.
• New scientific pharmaceutical fridges have a 12-hour backup battery for the temperature recording system. In the event of a power outage, the fridge will still record minimum and maximum temperature for up to 12 hours.

Liebherr’s UPS system has been proven to maintain power to a Liebherr pharmaceutical fridge unit for up to 32 hours after a power outage.

• Liebherr’s UPS system can work as an alternative power source to continuously supply power to your pharmaceutical fridge when there is a power failure.
• The UPS cleans the power and filters unregulated voltage going into the fridge and prevents unregulated voltage from damaging electronic components inside the fridge.
• Liebherr’s UPS is also stackable to be able to provide backup power in a smaller space than other UPS units.

Gen3 Smart Device by Constellation Technologies revolutionises pharmacy cold stock management. In a sector where temperature-sensitive medications and compliance are critical, Gen3 ensures integrity, even during connectivity or power disruptions.

Gen3 Device helps pharmacies mitigate the risk of cold stock loss in the following ways:

• Real-time monitoring – advanced sensors continuously track temperatures in cool rooms, fridges, and freezers, preventing fluctuations.
• Connectivity assurance – utilising Telstra LTE-M network, Gen3 operates independently of local networks and during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission.
• Effortless installation – simple setup saves time and effort, allowing quick integration into pharmacy operations.
• Instant notifications – Gen3 Smart Device mobile app sends instant alerts for temperature deviations, facilitating rapid response and minimizing cold stock loss risk.
• Compliance data recording – pharmacy staff can easily record compliance data through the app, meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining stock quality.
• Data security – all data is securely transmitted to Microsoft Azure Cloud, ensuring integrity and accessibility for reporting and auditing.

In summary, Gen3 Smart Device is an indispensable tool in pharmacy cold stock management, guaranteeing connectivity, ease of use, and data security, ultimately benefiting both pharmacies' financial stability and patient well-being.
