Temptime Corporation

Stakeholders involved in the manufacture, distribution and reimbursement of specialty pharmaceuticals seek ways to increase support to patients while realizing cost advantages.

However, few integrate a simple tool into their processes that can help meet these objectives:

• 7-fold return on investment for TransTracker^® was reported due to reduced returns when TransTracker was included in every shipment to patients.

• 50% reduction in call center time when TransTracker was used as a patient-facing decision-making tool to signal whether patients’ specialty medications experienced appropriate temperatures during transit.
• 98% of patients surveyed want a temperature indicator to be included with specialty medications shipped to them.

The Temptime Difference—Expertise and Worldwide Leadership

Temptime is the world’s leading provider of scientifically based time-temperature indicators that alert people if a product has been exposed to potentially damaging heat or freeze events.

For nearly 30 years, our devices have helped healthcare workers confidently immunize millions of children around the world and extend care to regions previously thought to be unreachable. More than five billion of our time-temperature indicators have been used in 150 countries.

Temptime is deeply committed to improving global public health. Founded in 1987, our scientists developed the first miniaturized technology to monitor temperature exposure of vials containing the oral polio vaccine. This device continues to be the only technology that meets the strict specifications of the world’s leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization, for distributing vaccines to developing countries.

Today, pharmaceutical corporations, biotechnology companies and hospitals are using our devices to help improve storing and handling thousands of medical products that improve and save lives. It is our mission to monitor these products with 100 percent accuracy to ensure they have not been exposed to temperature events that could damage their effectiveness.

We are honored to serve the world’s leading health organizations and contribute to improving the health of millions of people. We are dedicated to continually developing new technologies that will meaningfully improve global health for years to come.

TransTracker^® Heat and Freeze Indicators for Secondary Packaging or Shipping Parcels

TransTracker single-use, irreversible visual indicators monitor the temperature environment inside small and large parcels of temperature-sensitive products during shipping.

• TransTracker F: visually shows when a specified maximum peak temperature threshold has been exceeded for a short duration of time.
• TransTracker C: visually shows when a specified minimum low-temperature threshold has been exceeded for a short duration of time.
• TransTracker D: immediately shows when a specified maximum peak temperature threshold has been exceeded.
• Multiple indicators can often be combined on a single TransTracker card to bracket both peak heat and low temperature thresholds.

LIMITmarker^® Peak Heat Threshold Indicators

• Single-use, irreversible threshold indicators that identify when a peak threshold heat excursion has been exceeded.
• A range of indicators from 25°C to 50°C.

FREEZEmarker^®—Freeze Indicators

• Single-use indicators irreversibly change color from green to white to visually signal that a freeze event has occurred.
• A range of indicators at –6°C, –1°C and 0°C.
