Overview

The crucial steps to maintain Drug and Medical Devices integrity: The final miles play a crucial role on the product temperature.

This workshop will provide an overview of controls to take in consideration during the transportation of drugs and medical devices. An effective and efficient environmental temperature control process for drugs and medical devices during storage and transportation is critical to guarantee product integrity. It is vital to preserve drug and medical device safety, quality and efficacy. One important factor that can affect the product integrity occurs mainly during the supply chain process. This usually occurs during the final miles of delivery of products to the final distribution point. Usually the person that dispenses or provides drugs/tests to the patient. We will look at different controls or opportunities available to prevent the products from being non-compliance with their temperature requirements. The workshop will look at real case situations, such as the Vaccination for Covid-19 and the logistics required behind this.
