5) Placing the Fridge-tag® 2
Fridge-tag® 2 with an internal sensor
The activated Fridge-tag® 2 must be placed immediately in its
predetermined location. It is recommended and important to place
the device as close to the supervised goods as possible to ensure
a perfect temperature observation.
Note: It is recommended to „precondition“ the device for about 30
minutes to the desired mean temperature before use. This is to
prevent false readings during start up.
For the right positioning of the Fridge-tag® 2 within the Fridge,
please follow the instructions of WHO, CDC or any other
governmental requirements of your country.

ASCII-file generated by a Fridge-tag® 2
For details about the ASCII file please visit our website:
www.berlinger.ch
27
This process is to verify if the files (PDF and ASCII-file) created
by the Fridge-tag® 2 are authentic and have not been manipulated
or accidentally changed (meets the strict FDA CFR 21 Part 11
requirements).
English
7.4) Veryfication process
1st step:
Download the software „Verifier“ from our website:
www.berlinger.ch/Fridge-tag2
2nd step:
Open the software. The following window will appear:
3rd step:
Click on „Open file“
4th step:
Select the file you would like to verify.
Option 1:
Select the files directly from the Fridge-tag® 2 which is
connected to your computer.
Option 2:
Select the files from the place where you saved them
on your computer.
28
English
When the file is correct and in its original condition, the following
window will appear:
In case the file has been changed, an „error message“ will appear.
Proceed the same way with the PDF or the ASCII-files. The same
OK or ERROR messages will appear.
29
Read out mode
In order to avoid incorrect data, the Fridge-tag® 2 does not collect
any readings while in the Adjustment or Read-out mode (e.g.
changing time, date and during reading of history). The Fridgetag® 2 will fall back into normal operation after 30 seconds without
pressing any buttons. The LOC function will be activated.
English
9) Explanations of terms
HI or LO indicator (with an internal sensor)
If the Fridge-tag® 2 measures temperatures above +55 °C or below
-30°C, it shows „HI“ and „LO“on the screen and also in its extreme
temperature memory. The regular measurements and monitoring
of alarm limits will continue as usual. As soon as the temperature is
between +55ºC and -30ºC numbers will be displayed again.
10) Expire code explanation
Sample: exp 2016-07
The sample shows the expiry date of the Fridge-tag® 2 as
July 2016 (2016-07).
