Regulatory Requirements for Safe Storage of Medical Components

Medical components such as vaccines, drugs, blood and other organic material are often considered to be quite valuable owing to their worth in the medical industry. Most of the time, these components come at a high price and also have a fairly short shelf life. 

Hence, ensuring that they are stored with utmost care so that their efficacy is not affected is of vital importance. This can only be possible by identifying conditions under which these components can be safely stored while maintaining their effectiveness.

One of the major aspects that impacts effectiveness of drugs, vaccines and blood is temperature. Each of these has a different level of tolerance towards temperature and if they aren’t stored or transported at appropriate temperatures, they begin to deteriorate.

Various governing bodies such as the CDC and the FDA have provided a set of regulations for storage and transportation of medical components in terms of the facility where they are stored, storage containers such as refrigerators and freezers, humidity and CO2 sensitivity, and so on. 

These regulations clearly specify temperature ranges at which most medical components need to be stored at, which aids doctors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals to ensure longevity of their medical items.
