The account Probe Replacement settings define the time interval when temperature probes with CertiTrak are to be replaced and the probe lifespan start date. OneVue intelligently tracks the lifespan of each probe by calculating the days remaining to be replaced based on the Probe Replacement settings. The days remaining to replace probes are provided in the Probe Replacement report. Primex does not provide or recommend recalibrating probes, rather replace probes when they reach the end of their lifespan.

The account Probe Replacement settings set the value for all probes. If these settings are required to be different for a specific probe, you can configure these settings from its sensor profile. It's recommended to configure these settings to meet your organization’s policies.
