Proper selection and maintenance yield very accurate performance by the data logger in monitoring sterilization equipment. The question is: how accurate are they?
a)
Precision of temperature
Temperature is one of the basics of
sterilization, whether in a healthcare, food processing, or pharmaceutical
sense. Sterilisation Datenlogger
are developed to be as accurate as possible, often to an
accuracy level of ±0.1°C. In this sense, even the slightest deviation within a
cycle of sterilization will be picked up by this level of accuracy. When it
comes to autoclave and steam sterilization, this sort of precision makes sure
the deadly pathogens are annihilated while there is no margin for error.
b)
Pressure Monitoring
Many autoclave sterilization cycles depend on
both temperature and pressure for their effect. Modern data loggers from MESSmatik AG monitor the
pressure, as well as the temperature, ensuring that both are sufficiently
within established standards. Used correctly, these devices enable an
individual to feel assured that the sterilization process is working correctly.
c)
Regular calibration ensures
accuracy
Calibration consists of comparing logger
readings with a specified standard and then adjusting them accordingly to
correct drift over time. In industries where compliance is mandatory, like
healthcare, calibration certificates safeguard the devices from missing ISO or
FDA standards.
Environmental and usage factors
Although data loggers are built to be rugged,
there are limits to their accuracy, brought about by improper placement or
extreme environmental conditions. If the Measurement Devices are placed far off-center of the sterilization chamber,
readings may become unbalanced. Proper selection of the type of data logger
based on the sterilization environment and best practices for use can also
ensure optimum accuracy.
