In September 2020, Meling Biomedical partnered with the Turkish Red Crescent to supply 200 blood transport refrigerators XC-90W. After more than a year, the refrigerators provided by Meling have been used in medical outlets all over the country and have been well received. This year, Meling Biomedical was invited to cooperate with them again and continue to provide them blood transport refrigerators.
As an important part of medical cold chain logistics, blood transportation has higher requirements and is more complex than general logistics systems. So how is blood preserved in transit?
Blood transportation is mainly carried out using blood transport refrigerators with the help of automobiles and other means of transportation. Here the refrigerators play a vital role in this process. Due to the characteristics of blood itself, in transit, whole blood and red blood cell blood should always be maintained at 2-8 degrees during transportation all the time. For this reason, the insulation performance of the blood refrigerator is a crucial factor affecting blood transportation. At present, the blood transport refrigerator on the market is mainly divided into two types. One is non-plug-in type with the cold storage material placed in the box for refrigeration and heat preservation, which is suitable for short-distance blood transport. But as time goes on, the refrigeration of cold storage materials will gradually decline. Compared with the former one, the other plug-in blood transport refrigerator has more advantages on long hauls for its stable temperature and small temp fluctuations in the chamber.
Take our product XC-90W as an example, this plug-in blood transport box can maintain the chamber temp at 4±1℃, and is equipped with an LCD screen to monitor the temperature in real time. The appearance and inner surface of it should be smooth and flat without any cracks. In the process of normal transportation, the refrigerator will not be deformed and the internal material will not spontaneously produce harmful gases. In addition, it is equipped with handles and casters to facilitate movement. The another humanized function is worth mentioning that the temp in the chamber can be set to 22℃ during transportation, which means blood will be at its optimum temperature when it is is delivered to the destination for immediate transfusion to the person in need. This also greatly improves the timeliness of emergency treatments.
