As is well known, pharmaceutical products, as special items, their safety and quality are related to everyone’s health and affect people’s livelihood and social stability. The safety of pharmaceuticals not only lies in the production process, but also in strictly controlling the cold chain logistics link, which is of vital importance.
The concept of Medical Cooler Boxes
Medical Cooler Boxes, as an indispensable part of the cold chain logistics of pharmaceuticals, are essential equipment for the preservation and transportation of refrigerated pharmaceutical products, such as drugs, reagents, vaccines, and blood. If you need a systematic cold chain solution, we will customize a suitable solution based on your situation. GPRS temperature and humidity monitoring devices, pharmaceutical insulated boxes, and ice packs are available for consultation with us.
Only by using medical cooler boxes correctly can the desired effect be achieved and unnecessary losses avoided. So, what are the precautions and risks when using medical cooler boxes? We have compiled some daily usage tips for your reference.
Precautions for using medical cooler boxes
– Before use, check if the box is damaged. If it is, repair it immediately or stop using it.
– If the outer layer of the medical cooler box is made of canvas, keep it intact and handle it carefully to avoid tearing or dropping.
– During use, handle the medical cooler box gently to avoid violent impacts, drops, and compressions that may damage the insulation layer and affect the insulation performance.
– When using the medical cooler box, wait until the internal temperature is consistently stable within the required range for the drugs before placing the drugs inside.
– When packing the drugs, seal them in plastic bags to prevent ice packs from leaking and affecting the drugs.
– Leave appropriate gaps between the drugs to allow for the circulation of cold air inside the box.
– After packing the drugs, if there is still a lot of space left in the in the medical cooler box, fill the gaps with foam, newspapers, or plastic bags to prevent the drugs from being damaged due to shaking during transportation.
– Reduce the frequency of opening the medical cooler box during use to avoid the loss of cold storage capacity. Each time the lid is opened, try to keep it open for no more than one minute.
– Clean the medical cooler box with a soft towel or damp cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent. Do not use strong acids, bases, or strong oxidants for cleaning and disinfection.
– Keep the box clean and dry. Do not use organic solvents to clean or come into contact with the inner lining of the box. Do not pour water into the medical cooler box to soak it during cleaning to avoid damaging the box and affecting the insulation performance.
– After using or storing the medical cooler box, wipe dry the water and stains inside and outside the box to keep it clean and prevent mold and odors.
– Store the medical cooler box in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight for a long time and proximity to other high-temperature heat sources for long-term radiation to prevent accelerated material aging.
– During the actual use of medical cooler boxes, there may be situations where multiple boxes are used to transport drugs. They can be stacked together, with the protruding feet on the bottom of the box locked into the grooves on the lid, which can save space and prevent sliding during transportation.
These are the precautions for the daily use of medical cooler boxes. When using them, you can also maintain and inspect the cooler boxes from these aspects to ensure their normal operation and the quality of the drugs they preserve.
Choose the right medical cooler box
Our cold chain medical cooler boxes can be widely used in various links and fields of quality and safety monitoring, such as pharmaceutical distributors, medical devices, disease control centers, hospitals, pharmacy chains, blood banks, and township health centers (for refrigerated or frozen drugs, reagents, blood products, and vaccines). The medical cooler boxes use ice packs for cooling. The cold storage ice packs inside the box absorb heat to resist the heat transferred into the box from the outside, keeping the internal temperature within a certain range, such as refrigeration (2-8℃), which complies with the new GSP regulations on the storage and transportation of drugs in China. If you need a systematic cold chain solution, we will customize a suitable solution based on your situation. GPRS temperature and humidity monitoring devices, medical insulated boxes, and ice crystal boxes are available. Welcome to consult us for cold chain solutions online.
