PEACE OF MIND
PROUDLY EXCEEDING REGULATORY GUIDELINES
According to the Center for Disease Control, failure to adhere to recommended specifications for storage and handling of immunobiologics can reduce or destroy their potency, resulting in inadequate or no immune response in the recipient.
Maintenance of vaccine quality is the shared responsibility of all handlers of vaccines from the time a vaccine is manufactured until it’s administered.
The Immunization Action Coalition states that all vaccines should be stored in a refrigerator or freezer that is designed specifically for the storage of biologics or, alternatively, in a separate dedicated unit. A dorm-style combination refrigeratorfreezer unit with just one exterior door has been shown to be unacceptable no matter where the vaccine was placed inside the unit. Stand-alone refrigerator or
freezer units are best for storage needs. Accurate and uniform temperature in a refrigerator plays a key role in ensuring the life of vaccines, reagents and other biologicals. Research has shown that minor variances in temperature such as those in a household refrigerator can compromise the effectiveness of your biologicals, risking up to thousands of dollars in valuable contents.

Today it is more important than ever to protect your vaccines, your customers, and your institution from inadequate vaccine storage.
ASSISTIN G WIT H COMPLIANCE
Understanding CDC Guidlines
Key Messages:
Vaccine Storage Equipment
•CDC recommends stand-alone units or pharmacy grade/purpose-built units
•CDC does not recommend (and VFC does not allow) storage of any vaccine in a dormitory-style or bar-style refrigerator under any circumstances
•Set refrigerator temperature mid-range to achieve an average of 41 F (5 C)
•The freezer should maintain temperatures between -58 F and +5 F (-50 C and -15 C)
Temperature Monitoring Equipment
•CDC recommends (and VFC requires) using only calibrated temperature monitoring devices with a Certificate of Calibration
•Calibration testing should be performed every one to two years
•CDC recommends having a back-up thermometer
•CDC recommends using digital data loggers for continuous temperature monitoring
ABT-WiFi1-DL |
ABT-WiFi2-DL |
•CDC recommends using digital data loggers for continuous temperature monitoring.
•Staff should be trained and understand how to set up, read, and analyze temperature data provided by the data logger.
•The temperature monitoring device should be near where vaccines are stored.

*DISCLAIMER: Auto defrost freezers incorporate an electric heater installed on the evaporator that assists in the removal of the frost and ice. Although the heater helps speed up the frost and ice removal, it can raise the
PH-ABT-HC-UCBI-0420A temperatures within the freezer. These air temperature spikes can be harmful to some
medical and laboratory products.
