Hendrik started a new discussion, New PQS Configurations ready on all Fridge-tagsNew PQS Configurations ready on all Fridge-tags
The WHO PQS Standard TR06.4 defines three types of standard configurations of 30DTR:
- Type 1: Capable to monitor and programmed with alarm settings suitable for monitoring vaccine refrigerators at +2 to +8°C.
- Type 2: Capable to monitor and programmed with alarm settings suitable for monitoring vaccine freezers at -15 to -25°C.
- Type 3: Capable to monitor and programmed with alarm settings suitable for monitoring vaccine ultra-low temperatures at -70 to -80°C.
All three Types of configurations are now standardly available on all Sensitech - Berlinger Fridge-tags (2E, 2L and Ultra Low).
Each of the configurations have their own colour label:
- Type 1: Yellow label, vaccine refrigerators at +2 to +8°C. Low alarm -0.5°C or below for 60min; high alarm +8°C or above for 10 hours.
- Type 2: White label, vaccine freezers at -15 to -25°C. Low alarm -25°C or below for 60min; high alarm -15°C or above for 60min.
- Type 3: Blue label,...

Hendrik favourited the discussion, Solo, GoingThis is a bittersweet announcement. My boss, colleague, mentor, and friend Souleymane ('Solo') Kone, logistician extraordinaire, is retiring at the end of this month. He is far too modest to mark the event, and would likely slip quietly away into the Malian sunset if he was permitted to do so...
But the impact of Solo's work in strengthening immunization programmes worldwide has been such that some recognition is necessary. Over the past 25 years, Solo has worked tirelessly to strengthen immunization supply chains across the world, from cold chain expansion, new vaccine introduction, emergency response, HR, stock management, waste management, tools, guidance, training... you name it, Solo has helped to improve it. His influence will live on in countless projects. His loss will be keenly felt.
So it falls to me to share this sad news with the TechNet community, but also to celebrate Solo's work and his lasting impact. I thought I would do by sharing a few photos of his many...

Hendrik started a new discussion, Understanding the Operating Life of Fridge-tags—and Why Holding Large Inventories Might Not Be WiseFridge-tag 2E devices are battery-operated and manufactured upon receiving an order. These devices have a total operating life of 5 years (60 months), with an additional 6 months allocated for transit and storage before activation.
To ensure the full 60-month operating life, Fridge-tags must be activated within 6 months of the production date, which is clearly marked on each device. You can find the production date on the Fridge-tag itself, while the activation date is available on the PDF report and the Varo app.
The Risks of Large In-Country Inventory
Storing large quantities of Fridge-tags in-country can have unintended consequences. The most significant risk is that the devices may exceed their 6-month storage window before activation, which could negatively affect their battery life and shorten the operating life. While the Fridge-tag may still function after prolonged storage, its lifespan may be compromised, resulting in less than the full 60 months of usage.

The Risks of Large In-Country Inventory
Storing large quantities of Fridge-tags in-country can have unintended consequences.

While the Fridge-tag may still function after prolonged storage, its lifespan may be compromised, resulting in less than the full 60 months of usage.
Although countries may opt for bulk purchasing to reduce per-unit costs and save on shipment expenses, the reduction in battery life due to extended storage may offset these savings. Fortunately, there are strategies to secure both optimal pricing and full device longevity.
Optimizing deployment of Fridge-tags
To maximize both cost-efficiency and the lifespan of Fridge-tags, consider these approaches:
- Understand the battery lifecycle: Fridge-tags are designed to accommodate 6 months of transit and storage before activation, followed by 60 months of operational use. Be mindful of this timeline when planning your procurement and inventory management.
- Reduce in-country inventory: Rather than holding a large stock of Fridge-tags in-country, consider a replenishment plan. This will help ensure that Fridge-tags are deployed soon after arriving, avoiding extended storage times and preserves battery life.
- Request staggered shipments: If you need a large number of devices, negotiate for staggered shipments. By receiving several smaller quantities over a period of time, you can maintain optimal stock levels without sacrificing the longevity of the devices. This approach also helps you benefit from bulk pricing while minimizing the risk of battery life reduction.
I can provide further details in a personal email. For now, I recommend considering these steps to ensure you get the best performance and cost-effectiveness from your Fridge-tags.
