FAQ
Not that long ago, most temperature sensors were analog, rather than digital. These sensors had a tendency to “drift” over time – meaning they had to be regularly recalibrated to be accurate. They literally adjusted the sensors to give a more accurate reading.
What a pain.
Luckily, the electronic sensors used in modern loggers like Clever Logger do not really suffer from drift. So “calibration” is kind of a thing of the past.
Technically we don’t “calibrate” our loggers.
Instead of calibrating, we “certify” them. This is a test by an independent lab to see how accurate they are. This is the proof that you need to say that you can continue to trust the readings.
Historically, if the reading was too far out then you would do the adjustment to bring it closer to the correct reading.
Now, in the very unlikely case that the reading is outside the device’s accuracy range we fail the unit and recommend that it be replaced.
Our logic is very simple:
1. There is no reason for the unit to drift significantly,
2. The unit has drifted significantly
3. The unit has obviously been damaged somehow
More history.
The Strive for 5 guidelines were first written when vaccines were often kept in dodgy domestic fridges and checked with mercury thermometers.
With the advent of modern vaccine fridges and digital temperature loggers, a lot of the monitoring requirements are becoming obsolete, including the requirement to calibrate the logger once a year. It just isn’t necessary.
BUT having an annual check once a year is great for peace of mind and proof that the unit hasn’t been damaged in the past 12 months.
Strive for Five gives users the option to calibrate annually OR as per the manufacturers’ recommendations.
