Autoclaves
Autoclaves are essential for the Life Sciences Industry. The validation of sterilization cycles is critical to ensure sterility of product, components and instruments, among others.
Wireless dataloggers are the best autoclave validation technology available today. Lives International’s XpertLog® wireless data loggers optimize the calibration and setup processes. They can also reduce by half the amount of labor needed to execute a validation cycle. These loggers feature 4-wire PT-100 sensors accurate to 0.1°C that significantly reduce the measurement uncertainty and improve the calculation of accumulated lethality, or F-value,over that of thermocouple-based systems. The XpertLog® software calculates the accumulated lethality delivered in a cycle and compares results to acceptance criteria easily configured following applicable standards such as EN 285 and ISO 17665 to produce a pass or fail result. This reduces human error in the interpretation of results and ensures data integrity.
The presence of saturated steam is crucial to ensure the efficacy of a moist heat sterilization cycle. When a XpertLog® pressure logger is used, our software can calculate and report whether the steam used in a sterilization cycle achieved saturation.
Lives International offers a wide range of dataloggers and accessories to suit your specific autoclave validation needs.

Lyophilizers (Freeze-Dryers)
The extreme low temperatures and limited shelf clearance in lyophilizers make thermal mapping with conventional equipment rather difficult. That is why we developed the GMPF LP RF low-profile temperature loggers.
When fitter with Shelf Mapping Caps, these data loggers can accurately transmit shelf temperature in real-time. Their low profile also provides plenty of clearance to support stopper closure applications. Wireless data loggers can reduce by half the amount of labor needed to setup a mapping cycle. Check our home page for the video “Data loggers vs. Thermocouples” for more information.
Lives International has also developed specialized data loggers for continuous flow lyophilizers. Our Lyo Caterpillar follows the process flow of a 10 ml or 30 ml vial while wirelessly transmitting real-time temperature data to the XpertLog® software for analysis.

Steam in place (SIP)
The span of large steam in place systems can make the installation of thermal validation thermocouples very difficult, if not impractical. Wireless data loggers can provide a practical alternative for this application due to the simplicity of their installation.
The GMP Pipe adapter can fix a data logger sensor inside a pipe to make accurate in-line measurements. Specialty brackets can hold the data loggers close to the measurement point. WHere needed, a Range Extender or repeater increases the coverage area of the data acquisition Access Point to support the validation of large steam in place systems. Altogether, the XpertLog system can reduce setup time significantly while providing an accurate lethality calculation.

Sterilization tunnels
Sterilization tunnels (depyrogenation tunnels) are important in ensuring pharmaceutical equipment is sterile by moving equipment through a high-heat tunnel at a predetermined rate.
These tunnels must be validated periodically to ensure the heat inside is at the rate it should be.
The thermal mapping of continuous processing sterilization tunnels can be best achieveed using real time data loggers. These can easily be positioned in the process flow to record temperature throughout the different process stages.
One of the challenges in validating the temperature inside deypyrogenation tunels -besides the high temperature inside – is the fact that the measuring equipment must be inserted at one end of the tunnel and gets retrieved at the other end. Very often this fact generates delays and often damages the equipment.
To address this issue we designed a high temperature data logger that wirelessly transmits real time data from inside of the sterilization tunnel. This high temperature data logger can withstand up to +350°C and can be easily used by introducing it at one end of the tunnel and retrieve it at the other end.
Ovens
Ovens are widely used for drying, warming, sterilization, melting, baking various sub-products, parts, substances or final products and they must maintain the specified temperature.
The XpertVal is a thermocouple-based thermal validation system that is suitable to handle the high temperatures typically encountered in ovens. The technology has the capability to record temperature data for up to 120 test points in real-time.
For oven temperatures below 140°C, GMP temperature loggers provide a higher accuracy of 0.1°C and easier installation that reduces labor cost. The GMP RF temperature loggers add real-time wireless data capabilities.
Both systems are supported by the XpertLog software® which our customers rely upon for their most critical applications.
