Medical Devices and Large Instruments
Click HereMedical equipment is extremely susceptible to damage during shipment. Photomultiplier tubes used in industrial hygiene monitors, for example, use glass vacuum tube constructions that may break if the device is dropped or jolted.
Equipment designed for hospital use may experience similar failures when used in environments like mobile field hospitals or during air evacuations due to vibrations and inertial forces experienced during flight.
SpotBot Cellular impact monitoring system is the best solution for sensitive medical equipment under 60,000 lbs. You’ll receive real time notifications for any unacceptable impact, temperature, tilt and roll conditions.
For large pieces of medical equipment over 60,000 lbs, or if you need a more detailed look into an individual impact, ShockLog 298 is a suitable impact recorder. To receive real time impact alerts, upgrade to the ShockLog Cellular.

ShockWatch® 2 QR
Shock Protection for Medical Equipment
ShockWatch 2 QR helps protect sensitive medical equipment during transportation and handling by providing clear, irreversible evidence of potentially damaging impacts. When an impact exceeds the indicator’s specified threshold, the device turns red, alerting receiving teams to inspect equipment before installation or use. A quick smartphone scan, with no app required, authenticates the indicator and creates a digital record in the SpotSee Cloud, helping medical device manufacturers, logistics providers, hospitals, and service teams improve handling accountability, document shipment condition, reduce damage-related disputes, and protect high-value equipment.
TiltWatch® RFID
Reduce Damage from Tilt
TiltWatch RFID helps protect sensitive medical equipment that must remain upright during transportation and storage by detecting whether a shipment has been tipped. Its RFID technology allows teams to capture tilt status alongside inventory and shipment data without requiring direct line of sight, making it easier to identify equipment that should be inspected before installation or use. By integrating condition monitoring into existing warehouse and logistics processes, TiltWatch RFID helps medical equipment manufacturers, carriers, hospitals, and receiving teams improve accountability, automate reporting, and reduce the risk of hidden shipping damage.
ShockWatch® RFID
RFID Shock Monitoring
ShockWatch RFID helps protect sensitive medical equipment during transportation and handling by combining impact detection with ultra-high-frequency RFID technology. The tag turns red when an impact exceeds its specified threshold, while its RFID functionality allows impact status to be read without direct line of sight, even when placed inside a box or crate. By integrating condition monitoring into existing inventory and warehouse systems, ShockWatch RFID helps manufacturers, logistics providers, hospitals, and receiving teams quickly identify equipment that may require inspection, automate reporting, improve accountability, and reduce the risk of hidden shipping damage.
