Ensuring Accuracy: LogTag Calibration Explained
The importance of calibrating your LogTag
Considering that a single LogTag device can perform between 8,000 – 16,000 sample recordings - depending on which model you choose – ensuring the accuracy of the data is crucial, which is where LogTag calibration comes in. Calibration ensures that your LogTag devices continue to record precise measurements within the temperature range required. This accuracy is crucial for not only protecting product quality, ensuring product safety, maintaining operational effectiveness but also for adhering to industry regulations, requirements, and standards.
In industries where data loggers monitor sensitive or perishable items, such as the medical sector, maintaining accurate temperature and humidity ranges is essential in preserving the integrity of the samples. Any deviations from the specified condition can render them useless, resulting in financial loss, as well as jeopardising valuable research.
As highlighted by Clean Room Technology it is vitally important that “accurate, reliable, verifiable monitoring is undertaken at every stage”, and without a regular calibration, this can’t be guaranteed. Many industries have strict mandate compliance to ensure data integrity, with regular calibration being one of the requirements.
The benefits of regular calibration
Measurement matters,
- Enhanced Accuracy: Regularly calibrating your LogTag helps to ensure your data logger provides the most accurate readings possible.
- Compliance with standards: Strict regulations govern many industries, and mandate regular calibration. Staying compliant not only protects your business but also reinforces customer trust.
- Preventing costly errors: Not calibrating your LogTag can unfortunately lead to costly repercussions, as a result of inaccurate measurement readings.
- Increased Reliability: A regularly calibrated LogTag system reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures, ensuring that your monitoring processes run smoothly.
- Better Data Quality: Reliable data is essential for making informed decisions. Calibration helps to ensure that the data recorded remains within the specified data range, helping to result in more informed outcomes.
The risks of neglecting your LogTag calibration
Even though LogTag systems come with state-of-the-art technology, and are considered low-cost, high-quality solutions, they are not exempt from calibration requirements. Remember. calibrating your LogTag data logger can help mitigate risks, enhance product quality, whilst also maintaining trust with customers and stakeholders.
Although the typical battery life of a LogTag is 2 years, we would still recommend an annual calibration, as over time, the accuracy of measurements can shift due to a variety of factors. These could include environmental conditions or even wear and tear. These slight alterations in the LogTag system could compromise the integrity of the information being recorded. A calibration can help maintain the accuracy, standardisation and repeatability of the measurement
