FREEZING INDICATOR (Freeze-tag) electronic

Irreversible freezing indicator which allows the quality of the cold chain to be checked by indicating whether products have been exposed for more than 1 hour to a temperature below 0 ºC.

• Device consisting of an electronic temperature measuring circuit with LCD display
• Dimensions: 49 x 30 x 10.5 mm
• Temperature measuring accuracy: ± 0.3 ºC
• Time measuring accuracy: ± 5%
• Operating temperature: -20 ºC to +50 ºC

When the indicator is exposed to a temperature below 0 ºC for more than one hour, the display changes from "OK" to "ALARM".

• Put a Freeze-tag® in every refrigerator, cold-box and vaccine carrier containing freeze-sensitive products (unless Stop!Watch® is already being used).
• Before reading, keep the Freeze-tag® at a temperature above 0 ºC for at least 2 minutes.
• Read the result on the display:
• V: The product has not been exposed to a temperature below 0 ºC
• X: The product has been exposed to a temperature below 0 ºC for longer than the alarm activation time.

If the display remains blank, expose the Freeze-tag® to room temperature and wait at least 2 minutes.

If the display is still blank, check the expiry date.

Repeated use

The Freeze-tag® can be used as often as required as long as the alarm has not been activated and the expiry date printed on the casing has not been reached.

Shelf life: 5 years
