Next Control Systems’ Tutela for pharmacies is a Web-based service that automatically records temperatures and generates exception alarms, 24/7. The service is managed and regulated through the company’s ISO 9001-2000 quality framework, entirely replacing local, manual temperature recording methods. Fully compliant with FDA CFR21-11 requirements for the creation and management of electronic-records, the fully validated service meets all current and anticipated legal requirements for record keeping. The Tutela system can support a wide range of sensing options including probes, digital status and alarm contacts, humidity sensors, pressure transducers, energy metering, liquid levels, and gas sensing.
