What We Monitor in Pharmacy Settings

Pharmacies face unique monitoring needs that differ from manufacturing or large-scale production environments. Rees supports a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Medication refrigerator and freezer temperatures
  • Vaccine storage temperatures (meeting CDC/VFC guidance)
  • Room temperature and humidity
  • Differential pressure and air changes per hour in cleanrooms
  • Ambient conditions in ante-rooms and buffer rooms
  • Door openings or equipment performance trends
  • Optional CO₂, airflow, and other environmental conditions, depending on the facility
     

These measurements help pharmacies stay aligned with requirements for USP <797>, USP <800>, ASHP guidelines, Joint Commission expectations, and state board of pharmacy regulations.

Temperature Monitoring for Pharmacy Storage

The Rees Monitoring System provides real-time oversight of medication and vaccine storage across one or many pharmacy locations. Staff can access data and reports from any desktop, tablet, or phone.

Instant Alarm Notifications

Immediate alerts via local audio, dial-out phone calls, text messages, and email help protect inventory and reduce the risk of product loss.
 

Compliance Assurance

Our platform supports compliance with:
USP <797>, USP <800>, ASHP, Joint Commission, CDC vaccine storage guidelines, and State board requirements

Vaccine Storage & Handling

 

For hospital pharmacies, outpatient clinics, and health departments, proper vaccine storage is essential. The Rees Scientific LCD module supports national and international vaccine storage recommendations from WHO, CDC, NIH, NIST, AAP, PHAC, and NAPRA.

Core Capabilities of Vaccine Temperature Monitoring Systems:

  • Supports VFC program monitoring requirements
  • Meets/exceeds CDC vaccine storage and handling recommendations
  • Displays current and min/max temperatures
  • Supports up to two sensors per module
  • Local audio/visual alarm indicators
  • Monitoring rate exceeds CDC requirements
  • Optional eco-friendly Temperature Block
  • Ability to download and archive data for audits and inspections

Compounding & Specialty Pharmacy Monitoring

 

Maintaining proper cleanroom conditions is essential for sterile and hazardous drug preparation. The Rees Monitoring System gives compounding pharmacies continuous visibility into the environments that support USP <797> and USP <800> requirements.

Core Monitoring Capabilities:

  • Tracks room temperature, humidity, differential pressure, air changes per hour, and other key conditions
  • Supports compliance with ASHP guidance and USP <797>/<800> standards
  • Sends alarm notifications through interactive phone calls, text messages, and email
  • Provides easy-to-read graphs, trending views, and exportable reports
  • Offers stronger protection than standalone data loggers through true continuous monitoring
  • Maintains real-time oversight to help prevent excursions and support cleanroom certification needs

Pharmacy-Specific Considerations

 

Pharmacies have monitoring needs that differ from other healthcare and life-science environments. Beyond daily dispensing workflows, they must maintain stable conditions for sterile compounding, medication storage, and vaccine handling. 

Critical Monitoring Capabilities for Pharmacies:

  • Continuous oversight of cleanroom conditions for USP <797>/<800>
  • Temperature control for refrigerators, freezers, and specialty storage
  • Meeting CDC/VFC expectations for vaccine programs
  • Clear audit trails for inspections and accreditation reviews
  • Fast visibility into excursions across one or more locations
  • Reliable data access for pharmacy, facilities, and IT teams

The Rees Monitoring System is designed to support these requirements while fitting naturally into pharmacy operations.
