Many medical devices can only tolerate so much heat. When that threshold is crossed, they may malfunction or fail to work at all. That’s obviously not good news for the people who need them. For instance, imagine for a moment that you’re checking your blood pressure for the first time with a new unit that just arrived on your doorstep.
However, the device was subjected to extreme heat during transport, and now it gives inaccurate readings. It says your blood pressure is sky high, and you believe you’re going to have a heart attack or stroke. As such, your significant other drives you to the hospital, where they poke, prod, and run all kinds of tests, only to discover that you’re healthy. This is just an example, but these are the kinds of things that can happen when medical devices do not work properly.
There are ways for shippers to protect these goods, though. No, we aren’t talking about running out and buying an expensive reefer unit to keep the temp down inside a trailer. The option we are discussing today is an alternative to reefer shipping. Is there such a thing? You bet there is. Would you like to learn about it? Yes, that’s great. Let’s move on then.
