Standards for Installing Pharmaceutical Cold Rooms
In most homes, a medicine cabinet is kept handy to quickly treat minor ailments like headaches, fevers, or cuts. The medications stored in our home cabinets are typically those that can be taken directly, as advised by a doctor, without the need for refrigeration. However, many pharmaceuticals used in hospitals require proper cold storage. To ensure these medications are preserved correctly, it is essential to construct suitable cold rooms.
The installation of pharmaceutical cold rooms must comply with national Good Supply Practice (GSP) regulations. After all, medications are critical to patient health and safety, and any errors in their storage can have serious consequences.
1. Stringent Installation Requirements
The installation of pharmaceutical cold rooms is more stringent than that of regular cold rooms. Different types of pharmaceutical products necessitate varying temperature settings. For medications that require refrigeration, a cold room must be maintained at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. For products like plasma or vaccines that need lower temperatures, a medical low-temperature cold room should be set to -20°C to -30°C.
2. Proper Selection of Cold Room Panels
Choosing the right cold room panels is vital during construction. For low-temperature cold rooms, panels typically measure 120 mm or 150 mm in thickness. If the temperature requirements are less stringent, 100 mm thick panels may suffice. The selection of panel thickness should be tailored to the specific storage conditions.
3. Specialized Equipment
Pharmaceutical cold rooms must be equipped with specialized machinery to ensure continuous operation, even during unexpected power outages. Using imported compressors can greatly enhance cooling speed, reliability, and minimize noise, ensuring that the cold room operates smoothly and efficiently.
4. Redundancy in Cooling Systems
It is crucial that our pharmaceutical cold rooms are fitted with dual cooling systems—one for regular use and another as a backup. This redundancy protects against sudden temperature drops that could compromise the quality of stored medications.
In summary, the standards for installing pharmaceutical cold rooms are essential for ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your attention!
