Vaisala Life Science Services Integrated Service for Maximum Compliance, Safety and Performance LIFE SCIENCE SOLUTIONS FOR REAL LIFE
Get Your Controlled Environment Under Control Simplified Compliance That is the dream. But every company with operations depending on controlled environments knows the challenges of finding a streamlined technology solution. One that offers reliable performance and full compliance while reducing the risk of damaged, lost or adulterated products. The Vaisala solution does it with low cost of ownership and minimal management. More Vendors, More Complexity, More Risks The trouble is that most controlled environments themselves are not under
control, being patchworks of systems from multiple vendors. And that is where the risks lurk in the gaps and discontinuities of different systems. The more vendors, technologies, applications, protocols, interfaces, service schemes and people there are the more likely something will go wrong. Creating real trouble, costs and stress. However, there is a way. Integrated Solutions Vaisala specializes in highly accurate and reliable measurement technologies that work together seamlessly. Our technologies, systems, operations and services share the same Vaisala DNA that ensures advanced accuracy, performance and reliability. For the Life Science industry including pharmaceutical, medical devices, biotechnology and other supply chain participants we offer measurement instruments, monitoring systems, cold chain monitoring, validation and related services. Verified Leader in Measurement Technology Our technologies are quality leaders in measuring relative humidity, temperature, dewpoint, differential, pressure, and carbon dioxide, with highly reliable monitoring systems, measurement instruments and data loggers.

Mapping Temperature & Humidity Mapping Understanding the dynamics of a space is crucial to the safe utilization of that space for the manufacture, storage, processing and distribution of sensitive products such as pharmaceuticals and biologicals. This is a required step in demonstrating appropriate control over environmental conditions to ensure product safety. This mapping service is currently available only in Europe, China and Japan. Service includes: Area, room and chamber thermal mapping and analysis Challenge tests on empty/loaded chambers and static/dynamic storage areas Quality ensured by Vaisala data loggers and validation system Presentation quality compliance study documents Applications: Refrigerators/Freezers/Cold rooms Incubators Stability Chambers Warehouses/Storage areas/distribution Centers Vaisala Validation services were an economical choice, saving us a lot of time. We learned a lot with the Vaisala technician who was there to provide advice and answer our questions... Senior Director of Facilities, US-based clinical-stage biotechnology company
Calibration & Repairs Regular calibration is a regulatory requirement to ensure the ongoing accuracy of measurements and ultimately to safeguard products and consumers. However, it poses a logistical challenge to organizations: how to ensure compliance without costly downtime. Vaisala offers a suite of services to ensure regulatory compliance without incurring additional risk. From service center calibrations, to loaner devices to ensure continuity of monitoring during the calibration process, to in situ on-site calibrations, Vaisala has you covered. Service Center Calibration & Repair Vaisala service centers offer the highest level of calibration accuracy and the widest range of services which encompass accreditation, traceability, repairs and upgrades traceable to the SI through your region s recognized national or international standards (commonly referred to as NIST traceability). Vaisala is certified to ISO9001. In addition to this the Vaisala offering includes calibrations accredited to IEC/ISO17025:2005, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 and complaint to ISO10012 available at select locations. Calibration and repair services are globally available from Vaisala s Regional Service Centers. Standard calibration options are available for all monitoring system sensor equipment. If required, Vaisala can work to create a calibration option to meet specific requirements or test points. If repairs are required on any device, these can be performed with the calibration, eliminating the time and aggravation of working with multiple vendors. Rental data loggers are also available to enable continuous monitoring during device calibrations. Key Benefits: Deep product expertise Highest accuracy (lowest uncertainty) offering Fast diagnostic and spare part access Software upgrades / firmware updates Repairs made at the time of calibration 3rd party audited and accredited labs Customer selectable test points and calibration options to meet specific customer requirements Competitively priced Spares are available for selected products supporting gapless data records Accredited Calibration Options Boston, USA Helsinki, Finland Beijing, China Tokyo, Japan STANDARD CALIBRATION SERVICES Relative Humidity Relative Humidity Relative Humidity Relative Humidity Temperature Temperature Temperature Dew Point Dew Point Dew Point Dew Point Barometric Pressure Barometric Pressure Barometric Pressure Barometric Pressure Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide ACCREDITED CALIBRATION SERVICES Relative Humidity Relative Humidity Relative Humidity Temperature Temperature Dew Point Dew Point Barometric Pressure Barometric Pressure Please for Calibration Services availability in your area check www.vaisala.com/servicecenters
On-Site Calibration On-Site calibrations combine compliance with convenience. In order to minimize the impact of regular calibrations on critical processes and staff, Vaisala calibration technicians can perform a wide variety of calibrations on-site to meet your specific needs often in situ, allowing monitoring to continue uninterrupted. Additionally, if replacement devices have been rented, our technicians can manage the full process of swapping these devices in prior to calibration and out following the calibration, as well as all required system updates to ensure gap-free data. Key Benefits: Minimal downtime for your sensors Device functionality test Gapless data records and accurate measurements Full As-Found / As-Left calibration certificates Wide selection of calibrations Staff can focus on core operations Prepaid Calibration Plans Vaisala instruments have the option of a prepaid calibration plan. Pre-paid plans protect against unanticipated increases in calibration costs over the period of the plan. With calibration interval notifications and calibration certificates that include As-Found and As-Left data, pre-paid calibration plans significantly reduce the cost of hardware maintenance over time. This service is not available in Japan. Key Benefits: Discounted calibration with protection from price increases (1-5 years) Low cost of ownership No annual purchasing orders to generate for planned maintenance costs Extended Warranties An extended warranty (max 5 years) ensures hardware repairs/replacements, guarantees system performance and eliminates quotation/approval procedure delays.
