[Histonet] tissue processor remote alarm systems

[Morken, Timothy]

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!
