The challenge

The storage and management of blood plasma are tightly regulated, requiring consistent temperature monitoring to ensure product safety and efficacy. Kedrion needed a reliable, automated solution to maintain accurate temperature records throughout the lifecycle of plasma products, spanning its 70+ centres. Manual tracking processes were time-consuming, prone to errors, and increased the risk of non-compliance with regulatory standards, potentially leading to product waste.

The solution

Checkit provided Kedrion with a comprehensive solution to automate temperature monitoring across their plasma collection centres. By implementing Checkit’s hardware and software, Kedrion gained real-time visibility into temperature data, with alerts sent to key contacts in case of deviations. This ensured a swift response to any temperature breaches, preserving the quality of plasma and maintaining regulatory compliance. Checkit’s digital platform also streamlined data capture, eliminating the need for manual logging and cumbersome paper records.

“It’s hundreds of thousands of dollars in every freezer, so it is important that it is measured and monitored appropriately. I think it’s the system that really saves us time—you can trust over time that we’re able to sustain the product at the temperatures required by our manufacturers, the company, and regulatory bodies.”

The implementation

In 2021, Kedrion partnered with Checkit to roll out its automated temperature monitoring system across more than 60 locations. Over 600 calibrated sensors were installed to track temperature data within prescribed ranges. The system triggers alerts to designated personnel at each site if temperature thresholds are breached. Additionally, the digitisation of temperature records ensures full compliance with regulatory standards, eliminating the need for labour-intensive manual processes.

The benefits

  • Improved compliance: Automated, real-time temperature monitoring helps ensure Kedrion meets strict regulatory requirements.
  • Reduced manual errors: The Checkit system replaced manual logs, reducing the risk of human error and saving time.
  • Data visibility and access: Kedrion’s team now has instant access to historical temperature data, simplifying audits and enhancing product safety.
  • Cost savings: Reducing product waste by ensuring optimal storage conditions protects valuable plasma donations, saving costs.

Conclusion

Checkit’s automated solution has transformed the way Kedrion Biopharma manages temperature control across its plasma collection centers. By reducing manual processes, increasing data visibility, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, Kedrion has not only improved operational efficiency but also safeguarded the valuable plasma products vital to patients’ health.
