Our sensors are factory calibrated by the manufacturer, however they do not include certification or documentation. We do offer specific sensors that are calibrated and certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). When purchasing such hardware, these sensors & probes will be calibrated before being sent and will have a label indicating that they are certified.
If you are considering one of our solutions and you require certified hardware, or if you are in need of calibration on your certified sensor, contact us and we will make sure to work with you.
NIST usually lasts 1 - 2 years, per facility policy.
To start the recalibration/recertification process please contact us for “reNIST support”.
During the recalibration process new certified sensors get shipped out to you. You can then ship back expired sensors or repurpose them for use in non-certified areas (e.g. Dietary/Nourishment, Kitchen/Café areas).
The recalibration process should take place when the Certificate expires.
Most commonly needed to monitor Lab (Specimens, Blood), Pharmacy (Medication, Med Prep Rooms), SPD (Sterilization Rooms), NICU/Labor & Delivery/Postpartum (Breast Milk, Micro-Cool Drawers), OR (Surgery Rooms, Bone Freezers), Point-of-Care equipment.
