TEO Sense™ for vet practices
Fridge logs are no longer enough. VMD inspectors now ask for room records too, and a min/max reading can’t show how long a spike lasted. TEO Sense records the rooms where you keep medicines around the clock, flags anything out of range and keeps every reading.

What the VMD now expects
In August 2026 the VMD set out what its inspectors look for when medicines are stored.
Room records, not just fridges
Practices must show ambient storage stayed in range too: below 25 °C for most products, and the VMD recommends avoiding below 12 °C.
How long, not just how high
A min/max reading can’t show whether a spike lasted five minutes or five hours, so you can’t tell if stock is still safe.
Loggers must alert, and you own the response
A data logger only replaces manual readings if it flags excursions and alerts someone. Even with an outside service, the practice stays responsible.
What it watches
Dispensaries, store rooms and consult rooms on one live plan, each with its own range. If you want your fridges covered too, tell us about them on the call.

Room records, kept for you
Every dispensary and store room is measured around the clock, so the ambient record an inspector asks for exists without anyone writing it down. Export any period to CSV for your files or an inspector.

See how long a spike lasted
Every reading is kept and dated, so you can see when a room drifted out of range and for how long, and judge whether stock is still safe.

An alert someone owns
A band for each room, an alert in TEO Sense when a reading drifts, and a timeline of who acknowledged it, what they noted and when it was back in range.
Why it matters
Below 25 °C
The VMD says most ambient veterinary medicines should stay below 25 °C, and cold chain products between 2 and 8 °C.
Since May 2024
Storing veterinary medicines as their label says has been a legal requirement since 17 May 2024, under the 2024 amendments to the Veterinary Medicines Regulations.
Try it in one practice first
- A 15-minute call. We hear how you record temperatures today and where medicines are kept.
- Fitting. Small battery sensors in your dispensary and store rooms, fitted around clinics, with no rewiring.
- Run it alongside your checks. Your team gets live readings and alerts while your current checks carry on. The VMD still expects a daily look, and this makes it one screen.
- Review. We go through the data together: what was caught, and whether the records would satisfy an inspector.
