The speaker advises that thermoses should be cleaned daily and checked for any damages or leaks. They also highlight the importance of properly sealing the thermos and ensuring that the refrigerant packs are intact and filled with water, not any other substances. Additionally, the speaker advises against placing anything on top of the thermos during transportation to allow for proper airflow. Finally, they explain the process of preparing the thermos, including the recommendation to let the refrigerant packs condense naturally rather than placing them under running water.
00:50:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of proper temperature control when handling vaccines. They emphasize that vaccines should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, as they can freeze and become ineffective. The speaker emphasizes the need to calibrate thermometers and record temperatures to ensure that vaccines are stored at the correct temperature. They also mention the different types of thermometers that can be used to monitor temperature, including digital thermometers, alcohol thermometers, and data loggers. The speaker stresses that maintaining the cold chain and monitoring temperatures are crucial steps in guaranteeing the quality and effectiveness of vaccines.
00:55:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of maintaining the desired quality of vaccines by monitoring temperature graphs in the refrigerator. They emphasize the need to analyze these graphs monthly to ensure that the vaccines have been stored at the appropriate temperature. This is crucial in cases of cold chain accidents, as the temperature graphs serve as evidence of how the vaccines were kept during transportation. The speaker also mentions other control measures such as recording temperatures at least twice a day, tracking the movement of vaccines from the national level to health units, and maintaining clear records of vaccine usage and any losses or discrepancies. They highlight the legal implications of not properly documenting vaccine distribution and emphasize the responsibility of healthcare professionals in ensuring the proper utilization of vaccines. Another important control measure mentioned is labeling opened vials with the date and time of opening to ensure adherence to the recommended usage period. The speaker warns against the habit of discarding opened vials at the end of the day without documenting the time of opening, as this can lead to errors and improper vaccine usage.
