The Green Book stipulates that a cool box, powered or not has to be validated. This means it has to be able to display the temperature to one decimal point because otherwise the margin for error would be too large making any calibration meaningless. This is why Labcold vaccine carriers now have a temperature display to one decimal place plus we can provide a UKAS calibration certificate from our temperature calibration laboratory #8898.
The Labcold vaccine carrier can be plugged in to the mains or a 12v socket in a vehicle. It uses an environmentally friendly thermoelectric, solid state cooling system to ensure that temperature sensitive vaccines are kept within manufacturer’s summary of product characteristics (SPC) without making the carrier heavy or risking gases leaking in transit. It is fitted with a real time digital temperature display that provides ongoing assurance that the vaccines are maintained within the cold chain temperature range during transit.
Lightweight and coming complete with a sturdy carry strap, these purpose designed portable vaccine carriers can be used in conjunction with Labcold data loggers for extra cold chain security.
