I don't anticipate going wireless because the X2000 is so reliable. However, I worked with the applications engineers at Mesa labs and they were very responsive. Also, they were more than willing to provide the software to adjust. I had a demo on it and as long as you have the standards that's a non-concern. If you don't believe me just call and ask them. I agree that the Data Tracers were less than reliable. They let us use them for a month and in an autoclave we lost sensors..............usually related to the battery. Until they work reliability issues out I won't be purchasing any wireless sensor for our validation work.
Concerning the valprobes I have no experience or opinion on them other than they're probably OEM'd from Mesa Labs.

Just so you know we have 60 Data tracers sitting on the shelf not being used due to the price of recerification. Also wireless is the best way for us to go with our Lagarde Sterilizers

Have you asked them for the access to adjust them? I put a little heat on them due to the size of our company and if they wanted any sales that would be priority #1.

It's a moot point. The accuracy and stability of the ValProbes far exceeds the Data Tracers. We have had the ValProbes for a year now.

We have sent back about 20 for repair.......................we did have a contractor (IDIOT) validation person putting these into 500mL or 1000mL btls and was zip tying them in by hand......................needless to say alot of em fell out. This covers about half of those sent back and maybe the cuprit to the ones failing now. We did have em failing prior to the great Probe escape of 05................we are still missing on in the Sterilizer
