Introduction In the ongoing battle against infectious diseases, Ebola stands out as one of the most daunting challenges the global health community has faced in recent decades. Characterized by its high fatality rates and rapid transmission, the Ebola virus has historically plunged entire regions into states of emergency. However, groundbreaking advancements in vaccine development promise not ...
Due to the particularity of vaccines, vaccines need to be kept in a constant and suitable temperature environment during transportation and storage, and different vaccines require different environmental temperatures. Therefore, vaccines often need to be processed in the cold chain, and Temperature Humidity Recorders with quality certification are required to monitor and record the temperature of ...
Sepsis is a severe bodily reaction to infection, which can cause fever, breathlessness, disorientation, tissue damage, and organ failure, among other symptoms. While bacterial infections are the primary culprits, any other infection such as from pneumonia or influenza may lead to sepsis if not appropriately treated. Under normal circumstances the immune system of the body fights against any ...
Vaccines have proven time and time again to be our most effective way to fight against a variety of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Thanks to vaccinations, diseases have seen a decline worldwide and some of them, such as smallpox, have even been completely eradicated. The challenge now is to ensure that people living in remote areas also get access to these life-saving medical products ...
Each year malaria kills hundreds of thousands of people – mostly children – around the globe, and according to a report by the WHO, in 2021 nearly half of the world’s population was at risk of malaria. This included infants, children under 5 years of age, pregnant women, patients with HIV/AIDS, etc. Moreover, over the two peak years of the pandemic, COVID-related disruptions ...
Vaccine Freezers are required for the safe storage of vaccines that must be kept at extremely low temperatures. Without sufficient storage, a vaccine is likely to form deviations, drastically impacting the vaccines efficiency. At Froilabo we work to support the medical and pharmaceutical industry with the equipment they require to ensure safe storage solutions. Vaccine storage has been in high ...
One of the contributors to emissions in a health system is the medical cold chain. It is common knowledge that hospitals, laboratories, and other medical or research institutions use cold chains in their daily operations and that these products can sometimes be very energy-intensive, resulting in significant CO2 emissions. ...
B Medical Systems deployed thousands of its medical refrigeration solutions to support the COVID-19 Vaccine Cold Chain in Ghana. The country of Ghana, situated between the Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Togo, has successfully carried out many vaccination campaigns since 1978 when the country adopted the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). Since then, there has been a decrease in cases of ...
Storing vaccines at the right temperatures has always been a challenge everywhere in the world, but especially so in remote areas. The new TCW80SDD Vaccine Refrigerator will allow to keep vital vaccines refrigerated in places without electrical infrastructure, making vaccinations more equitable around the world. Storing vaccines at the right temperatures has always been a challenge everywhere ...
To be able to run successful and effective COVID-19 immunisation campaigns, governments and organisations around the world need to ensure that a reliable vaccine cold chain for the safe storage and transport of their vaccines is set up to protect the doses from temperature variations that could result in them losing their potency. B Medical Systems S.a r.l, a global leader in vaccine cold ...
The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the world’s health system and organization. To control and prevent this virus and others of its kind, vaccination has been adopted as an effective way to protect public health. Vaccines are chemical and biological products, which means they are sensitive to both cold and heat and must be kept in cold storage throughout the vast cold ...
It has been clearly established in the past months that some of the new COVID-19 vaccines, such as the one jointly created by Pfizer and BioNTech, require to be stored at the ultra-low temperature of -70°C. Because of this requirement, the demand for Ultra-Low Freezers has recently skyrocketed all over the world. These ultra-low freezers are extremely important as they are the only ...
There are several potential COVID-19 vaccines that may soon be available for widespread distribution. In particular, the United Kingdom has recently approved Pfizer’s vaccine, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is considering extending Emergency Use Authorization to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. That is certainly promising news, but storage, transportation, and delivery of these ...
Vaccine monitoring throughout the cold chain until final delivery is essential. Vaccines are a key component in our health care system. One of the most cost-effective and efficient public health strategies is immunization. The end of many disease outbreaks can be directly attributed to the development of their respective vaccines. They have an immense societal contribution, which is why it is ...

Overview In modern times, vaccines have been widely used to keep people healthy by protecting them from serious illnesses and diseases. Worldwide, vaccines annually prevent millions of deaths, and their utilization is responsible, in many parts of the globe, for the nearly total eradication of numerous diseases, including polio, measles, and smallpox. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease ...
Explore how B Medical Systems can ensure safe storage of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The term “herd immunity” has been commonly used since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to describe a phenomenon in which a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. Herd immunity can be reached when a ...
Vaccine Storage and Handling Vaccines and other medical products are essential parts of a healthy society. They provide relief from diseases and suffering. They are designed to improve the quality of life for people. As with any other product, they are manufactured in facilities located near urban centers. When shipped elsewhere, transportation is provided by a cold chain process in place to ...

All vaccines are sensitive to extreme heat and extreme cold and require both proper vaccine storage and management to avoid any loss of potency. Immunization is the most effective and economical public health measure against infectious diseases that cause morbidity or mortality. Immunization prevents two to three million deaths every year from diseases such as hepatitis, pertussis (whooping ...
