Low Cost device records and displays temperature history
of perishable products


CM Research has developed a low cost device - The TempGuard - which can record and display the temperature history of perishable food, pharmaceuticals or any product where temperature must be maintained through out the shipping cycle. Once activated TempGuard can not be reset - thus the true heat exposure is revealed.

The TempGuard is one of a family of devices known as CUMULATIVE THERMAL EXPOSURE MONITORS (CTEM). We have developed this new technology to help insure quality of perishable products through out the shipping cycle.

TempGuard is a simple device that provides a way of determining if a perishable product has been exposed to temperatures outside of a specific range for a significant amount of time.

TempGuard is a time/temp monitor that records the Heat a product is exposed to - not just the temperature. The TempGuard communicates thermal history by use of a simple mechanical display, which can be easily read through a clear window in the device housing. CTEMs are manufactured to mimic the thermal characteristics of the product being monitored.

Features
. Disposable
. Once activated TempGuard can not be reset - thus the true heat exposure is revealed.
. Can be stored and transported at room temperature prior to use
. Resistant to ionizing radiation
. Able to operate at dry ice temperatures and below.
. Infinite shelf life
. Non-electronic
 

TempGuard can be customized to fit any shipping container and thermal profile.

 

Benefits:
. Easy To Use
. Low cost
. Customer Confidence

When a customer receives a package a day or two late (airline strikes, bad weather, a error in delivery etc.). The question is, does the customer want to risk accepting a product that may not be good? Currently, the answer is to reject the package and call for a replacement.

With TempGuard integrated into the packaging the customer could determine at a glance that the product was still good.

. Control
TempGuard could also help the store manager know when expensive products have gone bad due to poor handling/ storage practices.

. Public Relations/ Sales
TempGuard instills confidence in the quality of your products.
