Kaye CTR-25 Calibration Bath - The Ideal Calibration Bath for Data Loggers
Checking the calibration parameters in data loggers is an important part of functional quality management. Especially with temperature data loggers, regular verification of the validity of the calibration data is a recommended practice within risk assessment. Mobile data loggers are exposed to various stresses that can have a lasting negative effect on the calibration offsets stored in the loggers. Documented and regularly conducted checks serve to prevent incorrect measurements and the potentially associated need to repeat an already carried out validation study.

Risk Analysis in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: The Importance of Qualifying Critical Process Equipment
The pharmaceutical industry constantly faces the challenge of meeting stringent regulatory requirements and high-quality standards. One of the essential tasks is the qualification of critical process equipment. Traditionally, predefined guidelines and standards are followed. However, the increasing focus on quality and safety necessitates more: a comprehensive risk analysis that identifies and evaluates potential sources of hazards. In this paper, we highlight why risk analysis is an indispensable part of the qualification process and how it can be effectively integrated into the qualification plan. The goal is to raise awareness and underscore the importance of risk analysis with subsequent risk evaluation.

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?
