[Histonet] tissue processor remote alarm systems

[Dessoye, Michael J]

I have a Sensaphone unit.  It can handle four different instruments.
When it calls it will give you the phone number it's calling from, the
sensor (instrument) number, and the 'alert condition' (there are
several...for example 1 is power failure, etc.)  Any other questions
about it I'm happy to help.

I'd like to hear from labs that use a remote messaging system for their
VIP5 tissue processors that are left unattended overnight. One I saw on
old histonet posts is Sensaphone.

I am wondering what kind of information you can get from the system.
Does it just say there is a problem but no details?

Can you connect several processors to one sensing unit? Can it tell the
difference between the units (ie, processor 1 vs processor 4?).

Thanks for any info!
