Travel Requirements
When patients travel with these products, certain precautions should be
observed. The drugs should be stored in insulated, cool containers. This can be
accomplished by using ice packs to keep the biotech drug at the proper
temperature in warmer climates, whereas the insulated container in colder
climates may be all that is required. When traveling in sub-freezing weather,
the products should be protected from freezing (temperatures below 2LC). Keeping biotech drugs at proper temperature during auto-mobile
travel may present a problem with tempera-tures inside a parked car often
exceeding 37LC (100LF) on a warm day. Patients and delivery personnel must take care not to
leave products that are not in insulated containers inside the car, trunk or
glove compartment while shopping or making deliveries. When ice is used, care
should be taken not to place the product directly on the ice. Dry ice should be
avoided since it has the potential for freezing the product. When traveling by
air, biotech products should be taken onto the plane in insulated packages and
not placed in a cargo container. Airplane cargo containers may be cold enough
to cause freezing (Banga and Reddy, 1994; Koeller and Fields, 1991).
