Deep Freezer for blood bank (equipment considerations)
A chest freezer for freezing and storing coolant packs for transport boxes and camps, and for frozen reagents or samples where validated.
Blood collection camps and transfers depend on transport boxes with correctly conditioned coolant packs, and a chest freezer freezes and holds those packs reliably. Its top-opening lid keeps cold air inside, and insulation helps through short power cuts. A freezer can also hold frozen reagents or research samples where appropriate. Frozen plasma, however, needs plasma freezers that meet your licensing authority's requirements; whether any general freezer is acceptable for that is a decision for your licensing authority and your own validation.
How to configure it
- Freeze coolant packs flat in single layers so they freeze evenly.
- Condition packs as your validated transport procedure specifies before use.
- Label the freezer clearly by purpose and keep it separate from plasma storage.
- Monitor and record its temperature if it holds reagents or samples.
Mistakes to avoid
- Packing transport boxes with packs straight from the freezer, which can freeze red cells.
- Storing plasma in a general freezer without approval and validation.
