Effective January 1, 2018 CDC now requires Min/Max reporting on all temperature logs.
​INTERMOUNTAIN PROVIDERS and U OF U PROVIDERS: 
You should have received communication internally on how to meet this requirement.
**If you have another data logger system or need more information on how to record the min/max information, please call the VFC Program (801) for additional assistance.**

4. Senso Temperature Review1
Log into SensoScientific ( and generate a “Monthly Report.”
Karen Tsuander
Review Min/Max temps for current and previous days since last recorded temperature.
Out-of-range temperatures require additional action.
Record current time, staff name/initials, and lowest (min) and highest (max) temp for each unit on manual temperature log.
Step 1A—Submit Senso Temps
For Intermountain providers with the TempTrak data logger systems, you will generate a “Sensor Alarm Report” for the last 30 days.
If your facility has received SensoScientific (Senso) data loggers, temperatures must be audited/monitored using that system.
In the event that the unit does not record, your facility may record temperatures manually, including all required information.
Log into SensoScientific ( and generate an “Monthly Report”.
Click on “Report” then “Monthly.”
or fax ( ) your Manual Temperature logs for the last 30 days to the VFC Program for all refrigerators and/or freezers where VFC vaccine is stored.
To avoid any misses and a delay in your order, temperatures must be audited (monitored) once daily—beginning of each business day—that we have receiving/business hours for your facility.
More than 3 misses in a 30-day period results in a suspension of your account.
That suspension will be released after 2 weeks of temperatures, without any misses, have been submitted since the last noted miss.
If temperatures were not audited on a day that we have receiving/business hours for your facility, you must indicate the reason why (e.g. closed, holiday) via when you submit the report or it will be considered a miss.
No corrections will not be allowed after the submission of your report.
Indicate “FOR VFC ORDER” on your report, cover sheet, or in the body of your to prevent a delay; temperature logs/reports are often sent in for various reasons.
Submit them 1 to 2 days prior to the date you plan on placing your order. This will allow us time to review them and update VOMS giving you full access to place your order.
**Out-of-range Temperatures: Follow instructions located in the Out-of-Range Temps section of the manual temperature logs. Appropriate action is required. Documentation for all out-of-range temps must be submitted with temperature logs for vaccine orders. **

5. Senso Advanced Report Temperature Review
Generate an “Advanced Report.”
Start Date: Previous day temps were recorded.
End date: Current day and time.
Select “All Records.”
Review and locate the temperature excursion. 3
Note: For multiple temperature excursions, each one needs to be documented and may require additional information. 3
Calculate time from in-range temp to in-range temp. Time is cumulative.
