Controlant Storage Monitoring
Controlant’s onsite monitoring solution gives you immediate visibility into temperature conditions across multiple clinical trial sites. Real-time alerts allow sponsors to swiftly address deviations, confirm product usability, and protect patient safety.
Our GxP-compliant solution streamlines processes, reduces waste, and supports sustainability goals by optimizing resource utilization.
Use case
A pharmaceutical sponsor conducting a clinical trial across multiple sites (ambient, refrigerated, frozen, cryo) leverages Controlant’s solution to monitor product storage conditions in real time. Upon a temperature deviation, the system sends an immediate alert, allowing the sponsor to quickly investigate and confirm product safety - preventing costly delays and ensuring trial continuity.
Outcome
Enhance product integrity and patient safety while reducing product loss and costs through advanced monitoring. Gain faster decision-making with real-time data and automated alerts, and streamline inventory management to minimize resource waste.
Pain points
Challenges include limited real-time visibility into product storage at clinical sites, time-consuming manual quality checks, and a high risk of product loss due to poor monitoring. Compromised small, expensive batches lead to increased costs and delays, while inventory management and consistent product quality remain difficult.
Solution
Gain immediate visibility into temperature conditions across clinical sites with instant alerts for deviations, enabling quick corrective action. Automate quality checks to reduce manual effort and human error, and ensure regulatory compliance with GxP-compliant reporting.
