Manual checks and missed temperature spikes aren’t good enough anymore
In healthcare and lab environments, relying on manual temperature logs or outdated fridge data loggers can expose your organisation to serious risks:
- Temperature breaches go unnoticed
- Valuable assets and expensive stock are compromised
- Compliance becomes a time-consuming burden
- Audits cause stress and paperwork overload
It’s time for a smarter, more reliable approach.
Upgrade to a wireless temperature monitoring system that does it all
Sentinel brings medical fridge temperature monitoring into the modern era, delivering precise, automated tracking of both temperature and humidity.
Wireless and easy to install, it uses cellular connectivity to transmit real-time data to the Binary Cloud platform, where you can access everything securely from your browser.
Get instant visibility and effortless compliance without the clipboards, manual checks, or missed excursions. Just reliable control, 24/7.
Modern Fridge Temperature Monitoring Starts Here
Not all medical fridge temperature monitoring systems are created equal. See how Sentinel stacks up against manual logbooks and traditional temperature data loggers.
| Manual Checks | Data Loggers | BinaryMed Sentinel |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature excursions may go unnoticed until the next scheduled check | Problems only discovered when data is downloaded | Instant alerts when temperatures go out of range |
| Requires manual temperature checks and record keeping | Requires manual downloads and reviews | Automated monitoring and reporting |
| Prone to human error | Retrospective visibility only | Real-time visibility from anywhere |
| Audit records must be prepared manually | Separate records and reports | Audit-ready records generated automatically |
| Staff must physically check each fridge | Data is only available where the logger is accessed | Access temperature data remotely from any device |
| Difficult to demonstrate continuous compliance | Evidence is fragmented across multiple systems | Centralised records and compliance reporting |

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional data loggers record temperature data that must be downloaded and reviewed manually, meaning temperature excursions are often only discovered after they have occurred. Sentinel provides real-time monitoring with instant SMS and email alerts, allowing staff to respond immediately when temperatures move outside acceptable ranges. It also automates reporting and record keeping, reducing manual workload and improving visibility across healthcare environments.
No. It has a built-in sim card and uses low-power mobile networks (NB-IoT/Cat-M1) to send data directly to the cloud.
Depending on upload rate, it runs for at least 5 years.
Yes. Sentinel supports up to three monitoring zones so you can choose to monitor a fridge, freezer, and ambient environment.
Simply hang the device on any surface and place the external probes in a fridge and/or freezer through the door seals.
It monitors temperature and humidity with the option to do location tracking as well.
The Sentinel can operate in any type of fridge/freezer, be it specialised vaccine fridges, blood storage fridges, or standard residential fridges, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory and medical settings.
Sentinel is battery powered and continues monitoring during power outages. If temperatures move outside configured thresholds, alerts can still be delivered, helping staff respond quickly to protect samples, specimens, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive materials.
Yes. Sentinel devices across multiple locations can be managed from a single Binary Cloud account. This allows organisations to view temperature data, receive alerts, and access reports across all sites from one central platform.
Yes. Sentinel supports NIST-traceable calibration, helping organisations meet quality management and compliance requirements. Calibration certificates can be provided as part of the service.
