Background Summary
A Fortune 500 company, Quest Diagnostic’s family company Dermpath Diagnostics excels in providing dermatologists with diagnoses for multiple skin and infectious disorders with multiple labs spread across the country. From advanced diagnosis in biological sampling of patient specimens, to enhanced services for compliance temperature monitoring and courier transport, Dermpath is undoubtedly a leader in providing accurate, clear and prompt diagnoses.
Dermpath laboratory approached the Shipcom team for a temperature and humidity compliance solution system to monitor and maintain optimal room and refrigerator standards as per the FDA guidelines. Shipcom was able to solve this problem immediately by providing their time-tested IoT labs monitoring platform, Catamaran NextGen™.

Shipcom's Solution
In order to monitor the various rooms and assets for the lab environment, Shipcom sent over multiple LoRa LPWAN, NIST Certified sensors to the lab, along with gateways placed in secure rooms throughout the facility, which, via cellular LTE connection, send over real-time data across a secure network to our easily deployable cloud-based application.
Incorrect documentation, blank spots, back dating, and inaccurate data collection are a few items that commonly cause labs to get cited with deficiencies. The Catamaran NextGen™ IoT software platform provides accurate data, electronic signatures and approvals, ensuring efficiency on the documenting techniques. The system also reduced paper and storage by providing e-storage for up to 3 years of data, saving on significant admin costs, while monitoring improper environmental fluctuations.
The solution allows numerous Quest Diagnostic Labs across the nation to provide daily (historical) logging in compliance with their own standards and requirements. Being able to access data and alerts anywhere allows the client to keep track of what optimal climate control is required in the spaces, especially due to the humid weather in the region, preventing potential contamination and growth of microbes and bacteria.
