[Stephen] Hi Alison
[Stephen]
We bite the bullet and pay for the supplying company to attend the hospital to do on-site calibrations checks. This is part of a hospital wide temperature monitoring system.

Subject: Temperature monitoring
Hi All,
We use Comark temperature monitors in the clinical areas where we have our Radiometer ABL90 Blood gas Analysers.
The monitors have to be sent off for recalibration/recertification once a year and we don't get them back for a week so this leaves us with a week over which the temperature is not monitored and we don't have any contingency plans for this period.
Has anyone else had this problem and can suggest a solution for me?
Thanks
