Alternatives Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Another one, also edited by WHO, same subject, but could maybe be a good complement. As it's an oversized document for this forum, it could be downloaded here : http://doc.alternatives-tech.com/WHO_BLOOD.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR1 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm sure many on this site have temperature mapped their fridges and transport boxes as we have had to. According to (UK) guidelines/ Red book:Core temperature= 2'C to 6'CAir Temp= 2'C to 8'CDistribution Temp = 2'C to 10'CDoes anyone know of a logical reason for these differences- especially with the distribution temp being up to 10'C (not that we used this for our validations)- and even some folks in the National Blood service don't seem to be aware of their own guidelines!Just confused...
