CONTROLLER FOR A MEDICAL PRODUCTS STORAGE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A medical product storage device comprisinga storage space,a refrigeration unit operable to cool the storage space,a controller electrically coupled to the refrigeration unit, the controller including a processor and a memory device electrically coupled to the processor,a user interface including a display and a user input device, the user interface electrically coupled to the controller,a temperature sensor electrically coupled to the controller, the temperature sensor communicating a temperature signal to the controller, the temperature signal indicative of the temperature in the storage space, andwherein the controller is operable to generate an electronic record if the medical product storage device experiences an event that meets predetermined criteria for documentation and the controller is operable to allow a user to enter information related to the event, the user entered information being added to the record.

Abstract
A medical product storage device includes a controller that operates an access control system to limit access to a storage space of the medical product storage device. The controller monitors a temperature in the storage space and other operating parameters of the medical product storage device. The medical product storage device includes a display that displays information related to the operating parameters. The information related to the operating parameters includes a graph of the temperature in the storage space, the graph including icons associated with specific events that occur relative to the operating parameters. Activation of the icons cause an event history to be displayed. Activation of a specific event permits a user to generate a corrective action record. A user remote from the medical product storage device may be notified of specific adverse events.
