Legionnaires’ disease has been in news headlines once again following a deadly outbreak in the south-west of Edinburgh. Although the source of the bug had not been identified, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) served an improvement notice on a company for alleged failures to adequately control the risk of legionella in a cooling tower. Given the right conditions, Legionella bacteria can grow in any workplace and the Health and Safety Commissions L8 Regulations detail the management required to reduce the risk. If you have responsibility for the management of water systems at your facility, Comark has products that will make that task easier. Comark’s N5001 Auditor is a hand held instrument for logging, monitoring and managing data. Specifically designed for use in HACCP, due diligence and health and safety systems, the instrument can be programmed for almost any task … Read more
The Comark RF542 temperature data monitor collects real-time temperature data via Ethernet connection on to the existing local area network (LAN). These LAN temperature data monitors can be used in conjunction with Comark’s RF500 Wireless Monitoring Range to extend the flexibility of the system even further with a mix of wireless and network data collection. Alternatively, for operations with several small remote sites, each site can be monitored with data transmitted via the LAN to an RF500 Gateway to provide full reporting and alarms on temperature data at a central location without the need for a full wireless system. RF542 can monitor two temperature points from up to 64 different locations using one Comark RF500A Gateway! The range of temperature sensors further extends flexibility with duplex probe models enabling two points of external monitoring from one device. All RF500 data collection models are programmed via an RF500A Gateway … Read more
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and Comark Instruments have entered into a 2 year framework agreement to supply all NHSBT sites in the UK with the N2011 and N2014 loggers from Comark’s Diligence EV range. Probes and UKAS calibration are also supplied as part of the contract. There is an option to extend the agreement for two further 1 year periods. In total there are 70 sites in England and a further 20 across Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland, although the NHSBT contract only covers the sites in England and mirrors the terms in place in Wales. Using the N Series loggers and probes, NHSBT sites are able to measure and monitor fridge and freezer temperatures at ambient and low range. Liquid Nitrogen stocks can also be monitored. The flexible programming of the Evolution Software package allows different alarm temperature … Read more
Accuracy with Confidence All good companies and organizations strive towards continuous improvement in the quality of their products and services. As part of that quality assurance, regular, accurate calibration of instruments is vital, both as a way of maintaining quality standards and to demonstrate to regulatory bodies and customers alike that adequate safe guards are in force. Calibration and certification through a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) laboratory, is the best way to provide that confidence. For calibration certificates to be officially recognized, and to support conformance to UK and international standards, they must be issued by a UKAS accredited laboratory. UKAS is the UK body that ensures that accredited organization confirm with international standards and is a member of EA (European Co-operation for Accreditation of Laboratories), the organization that works to achieve a uniform approach to laboratory accreditation throughout … Read more
