Air and product temperature are not the same and usual product stored between 2°C to +8°C has a core temperature of between 4°C/5°C. In tests carried out using a glass door pharmacy refrigerator, it was calculated that it takes approximately 40 minutes before medicines rise above 8°C. It is important to note that pharmacy refrigerators are not designed to hold the product temperature once it’s not refrigerating. To accurately assess actual products temperature in these situations, a container with a glycol-filled probe is used to simulate the thermal lag experienced by products stored in temperature-controlled environments. This system is included in the Wi-Fi range of products, which are all designed to improve monitoring and control for patients’ safety.
