Due to lack of electricity in Amapá, Brazil, vaccines are refrigerated in a butcher shop

The blackout that hit the state of Amapá, Brazil, generated several problems. One of them was the lack of energy in some basic health units (UBS) where refrigerators with vaccines are located, such as the triple viral, hepatitis B and anti-rabies, which require permanent refrigeration. This is the case of a city in the North of Amapá.

The way out was to transfer the refrigerators to a butcher shop, one of the few energetic places in the city. "All the vaccines used by the population had to leave here because of the blackout. We dont have a generator.
We store everything in thermal boxes. But then we had to take it to the butcher shop that has a generator," said Bete Correia, director of UBS José Meireles.

Since immunobiologicals are extremely sensitive to temperature variations outside the range of 2 ° C to 8 ° C, there is no way to be sure about their integrity with this improvised way of storage.

 

Emergency System: innovation with original Biotecno DNA

The lack of electricity is a problem that Biotecno faced with technology and creativity when it created the Emergency System. Our smart vaccine conservation chambers have energy backup options for up to 72 hours. When there is a drop in the commercial network, or even over and under voltage (half phase), the cameras battery system automatically starts and maintains all normal conditions of conservation. The system developed by Biotecno was so revolutionary in the health sector that it became a reference in the entire medical refrigeration segment, described in legislation.

The cameras can also be accessed remotely for status checking and performance reports. Smart chambers, much more than simple vaccine refrigerators, are devices that guarantee all aspects of conservation. Protect your stored assets with all this security.
