In previous blog posts, we have briefly touched on the need for providing temporary refrigeration to companies storing medical supplies. Now we want to carry that thought one step further by talking about the complex nature of these kinds of operations. It is one thing for a restaurant to call us looking for an emergency refrigerated trailer in the heart of London; it is entirely different to receive a call from a medical facility in need of temporary cold storage.
Understanding the complex nature of medical refrigeration starts by realising how sensitive medical supplies are. For example, compare vaccines and blood supplies to the food products your local restaurant needs to keep cold. The restaurant has a much wider range of tolerance to work with as long as food products are not allowed to spoil. The fact that the food will eventually be cooked eliminates a lot of the risk anyway. Medical facilities have neither the luxury nor the ability to work in such a broad temperature range.
Some medical supplies are incredibly heat sensitive but cannot be frozen. They may require temporary refrigeration that hovers just above 0°C without any risk of accidentally dropping below that temperature. Other supplies do very well in frozen environments. In both cases, there may be only a swing of a few degrees in either direction before medical supplies are damaged. When we provide temporary refrigeration for medical facilities, such exacting temperatures must always be considered.
