    Risk Assessment and Contingency Planning for Fridge failure

    What are everyone's thoughts on utilising Reagent Fridges in the event of Lab Blood Fridge Failure? We are doing risk assessments around contingency in the event that both the Lab Stock and Issue Fridges Failed. Providing there was appropriate shelf labelling ( It is quite a large Walk in Fridge and is connected to the electronic temperature monitoring alarm system anyway) and all blood storage was in a completely separate part of the fridge, and it was temperature mapped and relevant documentation in place covering this? I accept that it is something that hopefully we may never have to enact- but should we have to, would this satisfy the regulations?

    Hi Mozza

    To inform you decision please look at the GPG sections 3.5 and 7.

    You mention that its a walk in fridge so also please also think about section 3.1.4.

    I hope that helps.
