The importance of installing gensets in Hospitals<\/strong> has been stressed on several occasions. Certainly, its use in emergency situations<\/strong> is required by regulations. If a failure<\/strong> in the mains<\/strong> power supply occurs during a surgery, and there is no other alternative emergency power source, consequences could be catastrophic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this post, we will highlight another extremely important use of a genset<\/strong>. It is the role it plays within the electrical system of a pharmaceutical products warehouse<\/strong>, particularly drugs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The drug distribution process<\/strong>, starting at the laboratory where they are manufactured and up until they are supplied, has all its stages perfectly regulated through standards<\/strong> and applicable reference documents so as to ensure the quality of the drug <\/strong>is appropriate at the moment of consumption.<\/p>\n

There are strict regulations<\/strong> in this regard, mandating that environmental and safety conditions for storing<\/strong> drugs are adequate.<\/p>\n

In order to correctly store drugs, a pharmaceutical products warehouse<\/strong> must consider the following environmental factors: Light, humidity, and temperature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As many drugs are degraded<\/strong> when in contact with sunlight<\/strong>, it is recommended to store them in their original packaging and away from doors and windows.<\/p>\n

Another factor that affects the stability<\/strong> conditions of drugs is humidity<\/strong>; therefore, they should be stored avoiding contact with walls and making sure there are open areas around them.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the most important factor to be considered is temperature<\/strong>, as all products to be stored require an environment with controlled<\/strong> temperature. Some drugs require a 20-22\u00b0C ideal temperature while others, such as insulin<\/strong>, deteriorate at room temperature and must be preserved in a refrigerator or freezer.<\/p>\n

At Werne, Germany, a pharmaceutical products distribution company recently purchased an INMESOL II-110<\/strong> Model genset in stand-by to the mains, perfect to supply the refrigeration units<\/strong> that store this kind of heat-labile<\/strong> drugs.<\/p>\n

The image shows this control unit along with the DSE 6020 MKII<\/strong> controller that monitors the mains and starts the genset when a power failure is detected, keeping the refrigeration systems<\/strong> running for as long as the failure lasts.<\/p>\n
