Kaye's Time Warp: Providing Comprehensive Support
Everyone who has ever purchased a measuring system knows this. The true quality of the supplier is not only shown in printed words on a data sheet or a favorable offer. It shows itself when it comes to essential after-sales support. Be it the annual calibration, help, and support during commissioning, training for changing operating personnel, or bridging bottlenecks in your own measuring device. Particularly attentive readers of our blog series are certainly looking forward to what Kaye has had to offer in this area from the beginning.

Reducing Downtime and Ensuring Operational Readiness of Kaye Validation and Monitoring Systems through Customized Service Agreements
Isn't it familiar? Despite all precautions and a detailed validation plan, it can happen that at the beginning of the validation you realize that one or more measuring systems are outside the calibration interval or are defective. This is annoying as it usually means a delay in qualification and a delay in the planned equipment validation - with all the associated costs. An effective method to avoid such unwanted changes in planning is to secure all Kaye validation and monitoring systems through a fixed and individually tailored maintenance plan. But how can Kaye as a manufacturer assist?

Kaye's Time Warp: From Chart Recorder to Monitoring System
It's more clear than ever, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic, that monitoring and documenting temperature, relative humidity, and other critical parameters are crucial not only during the production of pharmaceuticals but also in their storage, transport, and finally to the consumer through the pharmacy. The storage and distribution of temperature-sensitive vaccines have caught the public's attention through internet and television, making the public more aware of this as a key quality criterion. The importance of maintaining the cold chain was a common topic of public discussion.

Kaye's Time Warp: Kaye and 21 CFR Part 11
Looking back on the exciting technological history of the 90s, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for achievements like 3.5" diskettes, Excel spreadsheet calculations, or thermal paper printouts. That decade saw the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory authorities still in their infancy when it came to issues like data security, data integrity or even the ALCOA principles.

Minimizing Risk when Using a Traceable Temperature Standard
Precision and reliability are of the utmost importance in the validation of thermal processes. These requirements demand time-consuming and complex procedures for the validation, calibration, and verification of the instruments used. In this context, the Kaye IRTD, a high-precision traceable temperature standard, plays a noteworthy role. Its application is crucial for the accuracy of Kaye's validation systems, like the Kaye AVS and the Kaye ValProbe, and thus forms an integral part of these verification and calibration processes. However, the use of temperature standards also brings specific challenges and potential risks. This article shows how such risks can be minimized, and the validation and calibration processes can be optimized and have their risks reduced.
