Drug Refrigerators
Use a small purpose-built refrigerator for storing drugs. It should have a solid lockable door and be attached to a wall. Available units usually have a conventional
refrigerant system with inert refrigerant gas (CFC, HCFC and Ammonia free).
Some standards are set by agencies such as the [Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain] (RPSGB).
Keep an inventory and log book inside the fridge.
Features to look for include:
- Solid doors, locks.
- Wall attached.
- Integrated digital temperature display and controller.
- Audible alarm with mute facility.
- Max/minMinute temperature memory and dispaly.
- Fan assisted air circulation.
- Accurate temperature control: +2oC to +8oC.
- Automatic defrost and removal of condensate.
If you use a combination unit it should have a separate door for the freezer compartment.
Storage practices and loading configurations should not lead to the obstruction of air distribution.
