Distributed temperature monitoring system for IVF laboratory

Abstract

Many conventional systems are available to maintain the temperature of IVF laboratories and incubator. The problem with these systems is that unless one visits the lab it is not possible to know the temperature values of IVF laboratory as well as operation theatre and incubator. Frequent visits to these places cause the increase in the temperature values, which may further affects culture medium kept in incubator. If the temperature of the operation theatre is higher, than the incubator, the culture medium will not be survived for more than 1 hour. Hence it is required to maintain the temperature of the operation theatre same as the incubator. The distributed system we have developed is used to monitor the temperature of the IVF laboratory as well as incubators used to freeze the culture medium in IVF laboratories. The temperatures of IVF laboratory & operation theatre are made available at doctor's desk on a single click in GUI as well as the same will be displayed on LCD located at reception hall.
