Q: Is the CORIS system compliant with industry regulations (HIPAA, CAP, CLIA, CFR 21 Part 11)?

Yes, the CORIS system is compliant with HIPAA, CAP, CLIA and CFR 21 Part 11. The CORIS system does not record or transmit patient information, information on samples or specimens, or other identifying data from the lab. Only the sensor readings are measured, transmitted and recorded (temperature, relative humidity, on/off states of external alarms, presence of water, CO2 or LN2 levels, electrical usage and detected motion). These readings are permanently recorded in the cloud (not on a local computer), and users cannot modify or delete any sensor readings or alert information stored in the cloud. CORIS reports are automatically generated and permanently stored, and cannot be modified or deleted by users. Authorities can use the reports to verify the integrity of the original readings submitted.

Q: Can I modify or edit existing reports?

No, once generated, reports cannot be edited or modified in any way. Comments can be added to reports and will also be permanently stored with the reports. E-signature for signing off on reports is also standard.

Q: Can recurring reports be set up to run automatically?

Yes, reports can be generated automatically – daily, weekly, monthly or annually. Links to reports are automatically emailed soon after midnight at the end of the reporting period. Reports are generated as PDF files and are stored permanently on the CORIS servers. Old reports can be retrieved at any time.

Q: How often can reports be generated?

Reports can be generated at any time (on demand), and can include sensor readings and graphs for any number of sensors/devices covered.

Q: How long are sensor readings stored on the servers and made available?

All CORIS sensor readings are permanently stored in the CORIS servers and are available to view, graph, report or download at any time.

Q: How do I access the system to see real-time readings and historical readings?

The CORIS system is web-based, and is accessible by any phone, computer or tablet with a web browser. Current sensor readings, alert status, graphs, reports, and data downloads are all instantly available.
