11004

RFID Transponders, Tags Overview

The Varcode 11004 is a single-use, irreversible time and temperature indicator designed for cold chain monitoring. It features a threshold temperature of 32°F (0°C) and offers selectable threshold times of 2 or 4 hours. This device accurately tracks cumulative product exposure above the defined temperature limit, providing essential data integrity verification for temperature-sensitive shipments.

RFID Transponders, Tags Feature Summary

• Irreversible activation upon exceeding the specified temperature threshold
• Tracks cumulative time spent above the critical temperature limit
• Single-use design ensures tamper-evident proof of temperature excursion

RFID Transponders, Tags Applications

• Cold chain logistics for pharmaceuticals
• Monitoring perishable food products during transit
• Verifying temperature stability of sensitive biological samples

RFID Transponders, Tags Procurement Notes

Verify the specific threshold time configuration required for your application, as the model supports both 2-hour and 4-hour options. Confirm that the standard non-visual variant meets your operational needs, as visual indicator versions are available under different model numbers. Ensure compatibility with existing tracking workflows before procurement.

RFID Transponders, Tags Selection Notes

Select this component when irreversible proof of temperature abuse is required rather than continuous real-time logging. The fixed threshold parameters suit applications where maintaining a constant temperature below 0°C is critical. Consider the Smart Tag VI series if immediate visual feedback of excursions is necessary for field personnel.

RFID Transponders, Tags Part Context

This part belongs to Varcode's Smart Tag family of passive indicators. Unlike active wireless sensors, it provides a one-time record of thermal history. It complements Varcode's broader cold chain solutions by offering a low-cost, disposable method for verifying supply chain integrity without requiring power sources or complex readers.

RFID Transponders, Tags Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other single-use time-temperature indicators with matching 0°C thresholds. For visual confirmation requirements, consider the Smart Tag VI series. Verify that alternative models support the same 2-hour or 4-hour exposure windows to maintain compliance with specific shipping protocols.
