A doctor's reliance on Saveris 2

Have you noticed how increasingly smart hospitals are becoming? Sure, most hospitals have always been filled with some of the world's most intelligent human beings, but now the technology that these people use is starting to really up its game as well. Let's explore some of these technologies, as well as the devices that support them behind-the-scenes. 

What are some prominent technological advancements?

We're seeing some seriously amazing technological advancements in the medical industry in the past couple of years that are allowing us to get better health care than ever before. Everything from electronic health records that allow doctors to keep meticulous data about patient health to surgical robots that help perform delicate, invasive procedures are taking the medical industry by storm. 

However, we have to give a huge nod to the wearable technology that is helping users track their own health, records of which are immensely important to proactive care. If users detect an issue with something usually unnoticed like their heart rate, doctors can catch it early and take the proper next steps.

Testo's addition to medical advances 

Of course, these achievements are nothing if they do not have the proper tools to execute the solution. If a doctor has discovered that a child needs a new heart but can't get a donor organ to them in time, then what's the point? 

This is where Testo's Saveris 2 temperature monitoring of refrigerators comes in to pertinent play. When an organ like a heart is removed from the body of a donor for its new body, it only has a short window of time before it goes bad – think less than six hours. It has very specific conditions of which it needs to be stored in to keep best preserved as well. 

This is what makes transportation a frightening process for the medical industry. You can be making great time, but if you roll up to the emergency room and realise the heart was stored at an incorrect temperature for its whole journey, the consequences are a lost life. Therefore, it is crucial to keep an incredibly close eye on the storage temperature of an organ – this also applies to other temperature sensitive medicines as well, of course.

Saveris 2 temperature and data logging devices get the job done. Now doctors and couriers alike can monitor the temperature, and therefore the condition, of the heart, even when they aren't in the same room – this vital data can easily be sent to a portable device. This measurement could literally be the difference between life and death.

These days, doctors are measuring a lot more than their patients' temperatures – and as such, they need the proper equipment to save lives. If you have any questions, or would like to know more about Testo's products, contact our team today, we're happy to answer all your queries!
