Protects Integrity of Sensitive Products
TRANS-VUE is an easy-to-use temperature monitoring device for blood banks, transfusion services and laboratories needing temperature monitoring of products during controlled transport. TRANS-VUE is easily and quickly activated through a few simple steps. It is placed in constant contact among items in the transport container to monitor temperature, thus maintaining quality control and promoting requirements of accountability during transport.*Cost-Effective and Easy to Use
TRANS-VUE consists of two parts, a reusable device with a replaceable temperature indicator. The indicator changes color from white to red when the “safe” temperature of the transport contents has been reached or exceeded.
Assures Compliance
Because it is nonreversible, the indicator will remain red if the temperature has ever exceeded the safe preset temperature, even if the temperature drops back into the safe range. As long as the indicator remains white, the integrity of the shipment is in compliance with the preset temperature during transportation and storage.

Safe Transport from Outlying Labs
"After successfully trying the TRANS-VUE samples, we are using them to have blood products transported back from outlying labs. This way we know that it is safe for reissue, and we aren't wasting valuable products."
