Cold rooms
In order to store the vaccines, sera and biological products properly, we, TPS have 4 cold rooms (2 are in spaces of 1,600 Cuft and 1 is in spaces of 3,600 CuftYangon and one of 512 Cuft in Mandalay.
We provide assurance that the cold chain products /vaccine will be consistently of quality appropriate to its intended use. In each of distribution, we use a good cold-chain system which consists of a series of storage and transport links all of which are designated to keep all the cold chain products at the correct temperature (between +2’C and +8’C) until it is reached to the users. To keep this cold-chain system working properly in each step of distribution, we use the appropriate cold boxes in which ice packs are put to keep the products at the correct temperature. To monitor the temperature, by testing with a calibrated master thermometer. We check our cold rooms, templates, the thermometers and cold boxes as per current practicing SOPs.

Temperature Control System for Cold Rooms
As cold chain products have to be maintained the temperature between +2’C and +8’C, TPS already established SOP for storage and control of speciality products (Cold Chain Products). For each cold room, calibrated digital temperature recorder is installed.
Once speciality products are transferred to warehouse area, warehouse personnel have to move the products into the cold room immediately. Warehouse personnel have to check the cold chain recorder three times a day and record on the Temperature Control Record.
For the accuracy of temperature reading by cold chain temperature recorder, Warehouse Manager will ensure the calibration of thermometers and recorders as per established Calibration procedure and will be evidenced on the Thermometers Calibration Record Form.
