Refrigerator and Freezer Temperature Monitoring
Optional temperature sensors can be connected to monitor
conditions inside refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms, and
other temperature-controlled environments.
Users can establish acceptable operating limits and receive an
alert when a monitored temperature rises above or falls below
the programmed range. Depending on the probe selected, the
system can support applications ranging from standard
pharmaceutical refrigerators to ultra-low-temperature
freezers.
Recorded sensor readings are stored through the online
platform, giving authorized users access to historical
information that may support internal reviews, incident
investigations, and temperature-management procedures.
Monitor Multiple Conditions From One System
The POAS-E supports up to 10 additional sensors, allowing a
facility to monitor several pieces of equipment or different
environmental conditions through one monitoring device.
Depending on the accessories selected, the system may be
configured to monitor:
- Medical refrigerator temperature
- Laboratory freezer temperature
- Ultra-low freezer conditions
- Ambient room temperature
- Humidity
- Water leaks
- Equipment alarm contacts
- Other compatible environmental conditions
This flexibility makes the POAS-E suitable for facilities that
need more than a single power outage notification.
How POAS-E Monitoring Works
1. Connect : The monitoring device
communicates through the facility’s Ethernet network.
2. Monitor : The system continuously checks
utility power and all connected sensors.
3. Detect : When a monitored condition moves
outside its programmed limits, the system identifies the alarm
condition.
4. Notify : Complimentary email alerts are
sent to the designated contacts. Subscription plans can add
text-message and telephone-call notifications.
5. Review : Authorized personnel can sign in
to the web portal to assess current conditions, acknowledge
the alarm, and review recorded sensor information.

Designed for Connected Healthcare and Laboratory
Facilities
The POAS-E is a strong option for organizations with a
reliable Ethernet network that want centralized
monitoring and recorded data.
Typical applications include:
- Hospitals and health systems
- Pharmacies
- Vaccine storage facilities
- Clinical and research laboratories
- Blood banks
- Surgery centers
- Medical practices
- Pharmaceutical storage areas
- University research facilities
- Multi-equipment refrigeration rooms
Pair Monitoring With Emergency Battery Power
The POAS-E can be used independently or alongside a
Medi-Products refrigerator or freezer battery backup system.
During an outage, the battery backup helps keep connected
equipment operating. The POAS-E provides remote visibility by
alerting personnel that utility power has failed and by
monitoring conditions that may change during the event.
This combination helps facilities protect critical inventory
while keeping designated personnel informed.
