POST 00461E : FREEZE-WATCH ACTIVATION PROBLEM
Follow-up on Posts 00430E and 00453E
8 June 2002
____________________________________________________
Following the posting POST00453E on Freeze Watch activation problems both
TechNet and WHO received some feedback from national immunization programmes
and individuals. We would like to thank to Dr. Birhan Altay from Turkey for
bringing this issue to our attention at first place. We would also like to
thank all individuals providing feedback. WHO has contacted the Berlinger
SA (distributor) and 3M (manufacturer) to investigate the complaints. We
will be informing TechNet members of the outcome.
In the meantime, TechNet secretariat has decided not to post incoming
feedback since all will be feeding into the ongoing evaluation of Freeze
Watches. However, we would like to encourage organizations and individuals
to directly contact Dr. Ãœmit Kartoglu (mailto:[log in to unmask]) at WHO if
similar performance problems are observed/documented. Thank you for your
usual cooperation and understanding.
