Safe vaccine storage is essential if you want to maintain sample quality from the time of manufacture to the point of administration. To achieve this, vaccines must be transported, handled and stored within an appropriate temperature range of 2°C – 8°C. Once temperatures exceed these limits, the vaccines lose their potency and must be destroyed. Due to the potential wastage caused by faulty vaccines, it is recommended that temperatures around vaccines are therefore monitored 24/7.
Thankfully, the Portchester Practice was prepared for the potential changing temperatures and had installed an EL-WiFi-TPX+ in their vaccine fridge to protect their vaccines from damaging temperatures.
“Most people are aware that the COVID vaccines must be stored at practice level, between 2 – 8°C. We have set the alarm on our WiFi device to operate should the temperature fall below 3 and go above 6.5°C. This gives the duty manager time to get to the fridge location even out of hours and take appropriate action.” – Doug Kershaw – Practice Manager, the Portchester Practice
Thanks to their proactivity, our EasyLog WiFi data loggers were ready and saved 900 Covid vaccinations from going to waste after an alert was activated when temperatures dropped below the practice’s pre-set limits.
