Advanced Monitoring with Neo Penta

The Neo Penta is a single-use electronic time indicator designed to provide accurate and reliable monitoring of temperature fluctuations across various environmental conditions. It is particularly suited for applications requiring precise tracking of time and temperature thresholds in sectors like cold chain logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food storage.

 

Solution focused

In industries where temperature control is critical, such as cold chain logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food storage, maintaining product integrity can be challenging. The Neo Penta offers a reliable solution by providing precise monitoring and clear alerts for temperature breaches.

 

  • Cold Chain Logistics: Ensures perishable goods like fresh produce and frozen items remain within safe temperature ranges, reducing spoilage and waste during transit. The Neo Penta provides immediate alerts when temperatures fall below 0°C or 2°C, or rise above 8°C, allowing for timely interventions.

 

  • Pharmaceuticals: Safeguards temperature-sensitive medications, vaccines, and biologics by offering accurate monitoring and traceable records. The device’s unique serial numbers and irreversible LED alerts ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

 

  • Food Storage: Protects chilled and frozen food products by monitoring storage conditions over long periods. With a 9-month active life and alerts for sustained temperature breaches, Neo Penta helps maintain product quality and safety.

How Neo Penta Works:

  1. Activation: Press and hold the button for 1.5 seconds until the green “Power on” LED flashes three times.
  2. Start Delay: A 10-minute start delay allows for seamless integration before monitoring begins.
  3. Temperature Monitoring: LED indicators alert users when:
    • Temperature drops below 0°C for a cumulative 5 minutes.
    • Temperature drops below 2°C for a cumulative 30 minutes.
    • Temperature rises above 8°C for a cumulative 30 minutes.
  4. Interrogation Feature: Button-press functionality provides status updates and real-time information.

 

 

Specification

Neo Penta activates after a start delay, with LED indicators flashing every 4 seconds to provide clear alerts for temperature changes. Users can query the device via a button press, and it clearly displays when temperatures fall below 0°C or 2°C, or rise above 8°C. Each unit is 100% tested and uniquely serialised for full traceability, ensuring reliability in critical applications. If you are looking for more information dont hesitate to contact our team.

Frequently asked questions

What is neo Penta?

Neo Penta is a single-use electronic temperature indicator designed to monitor and alert users to temperature breaches at specific thresholds. It is ideal for cold chain logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food storage.

 

How does neo Penta work?

Neo Penta uses LED indicators to signal when temperatures drop below 0°C or 2°C, or rise above 8°C, after a 10-minute start delay. The device continuously monitors conditions and provides clear, irreversible alerts.

How do I activate neo Penta?

To activate, press and hold the button for 1.5 seconds until the green “Power on” LED flashes three times. The device will start monitoring after the 10-minute delay.

Can neo Penta be reused?

No, neo Penta is a single-use device and cannot be reset or reused. Each unit is designed for one monitoring cycle to ensure accuracy and reliability.

 

What industries can benefit from Neo Penta?

neo Penta is designed for use in industries requiring precise temperature monitoring, such as cold chain logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food storage, among others.

What are the temperature thresholds for Neo Penta?

Neo Penta monitors for:

  • Temperatures below 0°C for a cumulative 5 minutes (0 LED will flash)
  • Temperatures below 2°C for a cumulative 30 minutes. (2 LED will flash)
  • Temperatures above 8°C for a cumulative 30 minutes. (8 LED will flash)
How long can neo Penta operate?

Neo Penta has an active monitoring life of 9 months and a shelf life of up to 2 years, ensuring long-term usability before activation.

Is Neo Penta tamper-proof?

Yes, neo Penta features irreversible LED alerts and is uniquely serialised for full traceability, ensuring data integrity and accountability

What is the environmental rating for Neo Penta?

Neo Penta is rated IP54, meaning it is resistant to dust and water, making it suitable for a variety of environments.

How do I interpret the LED alerts?
  • The red “0” LED flashes if the temperature drops below 0°C for 5 minutes.
  • The red “2” LED flashes if the temperature drops below 2°C for 30 minutes.
  • The red “8” LED flashes if the temperature rises above 8°C for 30 minutes.
What should I do if neo Penta indicates a temperature breach?

If a temperature breach occurs, follow your organisation’s protocols to assess and manage the affected products, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
