A tool designed to evaluate deviations from acceptable temperature ranges during the storage and transport of pharmaceutical products manufactured by Sanofi. It assists in determining the potential impact of these deviations on product quality and efficacy. This analytical instrument allows professionals to input specific parameters, such as temperature readings outside the specified limits, duration of the excursion, and relevant product information. The system then assesses the risk associated with the temperature variation, providing a scientific basis for decision-making regarding the continued usability of the affected product batch.
Maintaining pharmaceutical product integrity is critical for patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness. Unplanned temperature variations can compromise a drug’s chemical stability, leading to reduced potency or the formation of harmful degradation products. The calculator provides a standardized and consistent method for evaluating such events, minimizing subjective interpretations and promoting data-driven decision-making. Historically, assessing these situations relied heavily on expert opinion and limited data. This calculator facilitates a more rigorous and transparent process, improving supply chain management and reducing potential product waste.
