2022-01-05

As one of the indispensable tools in the medical process, the storage and transportation conditions of medical devices are very important to ensure their safety.

Some storage and transportation companies cannot meet the storage and transportation requirements required by the instructions and labels of the entrusted medical devices. For example, if the temperature is too high during transportation, it will lead to deterioration, damage to packaging, battery explosion and other problems; If the temperature is too low, it will cause precooling deterioration, freeze-break the container, reduce the performance and affect the curative effect.

Therefore, if a third party is entrusted to transport the cold chain management medical devices, the entrusted party shall be required to strictly implement the following five requirements:

1. Start the temperature control function and temperature measuring equipment of the transport vehicle in advance, and preset the temperature in the carriage to the specified temperature;

2. Determine the stacking mode and area of products in the refrigerated compartment, and the stacking height shall not exceed the lower edge of the air outlet of the refrigeration unit to ensure normal air circulation and uniform temperature distribution;

3. After the cold chain management medical devices are loaded, close the compartment door in time and check the tightness of the compartment door;

4. Check the operation status of temperature control equipment and temperature measuring equipment, and start the operation only after they operate normally;

5. During the loading and unloading of cold chain management medical devices, measures shall be taken to ensure that the temperature meets the storage and transportation requirements indicated in the product manual and label.
