This chart shows:• Temperature readings twice per day for the ward medication refrigerator• ‘Temperature reset’ confirmation (like zero-ing a thermometer)• Documentation recorded for temperature range outside 2-8 degrees for restocking
14
This chart shows:• The documentation required for a freezer • Freezer Temperature MUST be below minus 10 degrees celsius (<-10°C)• Between the flags section not required as it is above zero degrees• Temperature recorded twice per day• ‘Temperature reset’ confirmation

• This was a Cold Breach in the high range, i.e. above 8 degrees Celsius for over 14 hours. Looking at the times this took place…. What are some of the reasons why this may have occurred?
• The red dots indicate when the temperature has been checked (should be twice daily)
23
This is a cold chain breach in the low range i.e. less than 2 degrees celsius
