For temperature-sensitive healthcare products, the transport plan must protect product integrity through every handover—not only while the shipment is in the air.
Define the shipment profile
Start with the permitted temperature range, product sensitivity, shipment duration, quantity, value and any handling restrictions. The packaging and service should be selected around this profile.
Choose fit-for-purpose packaging
Passive and active temperature-control systems serve different journeys. Consider seasonal conditions, expected transit time, contingency duration and whether the packaging is suitable for the route.
Monitor what matters
Place calibrated monitoring devices according to the approved packing method. Agree who will start, stop and retrieve the data, and what constitutes an excursion requiring review.
Plan every handover
Collection timing, airline acceptance, storage, customs clearance and delivery availability should be coordinated. A named contact and escalation route at origin and destination can prevent small issues becoming delays.
Keep an auditable record
Retain relevant booking details, packing records, device information, tracking events and delivery evidence in line with your quality procedures.
