Before medication is administered to the patient, it is kept refrigerated at a fixed location. This can be a hospital, nursing home, pharmacy, general practice or other healthcare facility. The temperature of the environment in which the medication is stored should be monitored with temperature loggers specially designed for medications. This can be recorded manually or, in the case of multiple locations, centrally.  This will prevent loss of quality of the medication. 

The conditioned transport of medication must comply with specific GDP guidelines, and therefore requires accurate handling that ensures the quality of the medication. Temperature is of crucial importance here. To monitor this, temperature loggers are added to the thermobox, which can be read manually or centrally. The application of a track & trace system also offers the possibility to monitor the transport of medication in real time for both location and conditions.

Air freight is often used to get medicines to their destination as quickly as possible. This too is done conditioned, where it is crucial that the cargo remains within the set temperature ranges. Are the medications getting too hot? Or too cold? Then there is a loss of quality and the medication can be discarded. To be able to control this properly, temperature monitoring is necessary. This is done with temperature loggers specially developed for pharmaceutical transports.
