TransTracker® F

Effect of Heat Excursions
Many medical products can be damaged and lose potency if they are exposed to temperatures above a certain threshold limit for a short period of time. While excursions of a few minutes may not have any effect on the core temperature of the product, an excursion for a period of time above a threshold may damage the product. Such excursions can go unnoticed during shipping.

Irreversible Threshold Heat Excursion Indicator
TransTracker F single-use devices irreversibly change color from white to red to signal that a heat excursion has occurred with some time delay. These devices monitor heat sensitive products during short-term shipping. The TransTracker F device is placed inside or can be affixed to the exterior of multiple unit secondary packages or shipping boxes. It is an ideal tool to meet quality requirements and manage risk during the shipping of medical products.

Standard TransTracker F indicators are available with threshold heat response temperatures of 9°C, 17°C, 21°C and 25°C (all ± 1°C). Customized card designs, messaging and temperature limits are available.
