BBer1234 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Can anyone recommend a good blood storage cooler that could be used as a backup if my blood refrigerator goes down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 How large of inventory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBer1234 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Only about 25 units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I like Credo coolers. They hold temp very well. A bit pricey, but if you are looking at one or two, it probably won't break your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBer1234 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thank you. I will look into those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'd suggest an additional fridge. 25 units lost (irreplaceable) at ~ $200 is $5,000 just in the cost of the products. How long will the fridge be down? Clearly there's no way to predict that. Also, once it's back you might want to monitor it for 24 hours to ensure it's keeping temp. Having a second fridge buys a lot of peace of mind. David Saikin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Agree on the 2nd fridge if you can swing it and have space for it. David Saikin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slsmith Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 We use the containers from the blood supplier. Then take the temperature every four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmic Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I am interested if anyone has attempted to use one of the wireless temperature monitoring systems to monitor the coolers being used within the hospital? More hospital in the USA are looking at these systems for their refrigerator/freezer/room temperatures monitoring. That would seem to be an excellent monitoring and data documentation for the products outside BB's control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
