Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical standard substance transportation, and more specifically, to a pharmaceutical standard substance packaging and transportation method. Background Art
[0002] National pharmaceutical standard substances (hereinafter referred to as standard substances) refer to substances used for physical, chemical and biological tests of drugs in national statutory drug standards, with definite characteristics or values, and used for calibrating equipment, evaluating measurement methods, assigning values to test drugs or identifying them. It is an indispensable tool for controlling drug quality and plays an important role as a "measuring weight" in standard inspection. The outer packaging materials of national pharmaceutical standard substances mainly include vials and ampoules, which have a certain risk of breakage; they are usually divided into three storage temperatures: room temperature, refrigeration, and freezing; one of the main functions of the China Food and Drug Inspection Institute (hereinafter referred to as the China Inspection Institute) is to organize and carry out the planning, planning, research, preparation, calibration, distribution and management of national standard substances. Except for a very small number of special standard substances, all standard substances are supplied from the headquarters of the China Inspection Institute to the user units by express mail.
[0003] Currently, about 20,000 units of users order national pharmaceutical reference materials each year, and by 2023, the China National Institute for Inspection and Quarantine will send about 110,000 packages. Due to the wide variety of reference materials, the transportation temperature requirements vary to a certain extent, the mail transportation time guarantee scheme is insufficient, and the reference materials have a certain risk of damage during transportation. There are also very few cases where the contents of the foam box do not match the express delivery order.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a method for packaging and transporting pharmaceutical standard substances to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for packaging and transporting pharmaceutical standard substances. By studying the key points and critical points of each link in the packaging and transportation of standard substances, the present invention has created a set of packaging and transportation process methods for standard substances, achieving the effect of shockproof and anti-crushing and optimal temperature control. According to the temperature requirements of the mailed product and the temperature and area of the mailing destination, the evaluation and recommendation of the reference information system, and combined with the short-term stability result data of the standard substance, the optimal combination of coolant, insulation equipment, and transportation method is determined, which can effectively ensure the temperature control of the standard substance during transportation, and achieve the standard substance mailing product without damage and the best transportation time.
[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for packaging and transporting pharmaceutical standard substances, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Preliminary preparation: Freezing ice blocks, requiring the biological ice blocks to be pre-frozen for a certain period of time, so that the refrigerant solidifies and releases slowly until it meets the expected requirements; blowing up the bubble cover, inflating, ensuring that the pillars of the bubble cover are full and have an anti-shattering effect; sealing the bubble cover to ensure that the seal is complete and leak-free, and the wrapping is strong; if there is leakage, replace the bubble cover; if there is no leakage, execute step S2;
[0008] S2. Generate and print the express delivery note: select the corresponding transportation method and refrigerant according to the storage temperature of the standard material, transportation conditions and other factors, check that the order number in the express delivery note is clearly printed, and execute step S3;
[0009] S3, standard materials are put into special boxes: according to the specifications, quantity, texture and other factors of the product, they are put into suitable special boxes to ensure the fitting effect; the special boxes and the order are put into the standard material customized bag together, and step S4 is executed;
[0010] S4, sorting to ensure the "three consistency" of key information: sort the express order and the corresponding standard material customized bag according to the order number information, and ensure that the order numbers of the "three items" of the order, standard material and express order are consistent. If the order number information of the three items matches, execute step S5;
[0011] S5. Review and select foam boxes and mark the temperature of standard substances: Packaging personnel select large or small foam boxes of appropriate size according to the total number of ordered products, and carefully check their integrity. There must be no sand holes or holes to support temperature control. After that, mark the standard substance temperature and order number information on the foam box cover to guide the selection of the quantity of ice pack coolant. When multiple packages from the same user are involved, check that the order numbers are consistent and the order is clearly recorded. Finally, check that the order numbers of the order, standard substance and express order in the custom bag are consistent. After confirming that they are consistent, put the custom bag into the filled bubble cover and seal it. Finally, fold the corner of the express order and stick it on the foam box cover.
[0012] S6. Stacking ice blocks: Based on the results of the third-party temperature control test report, and taking the regional location, seasonal temperature and marked temperature of the standard material as reference, select the corresponding number of ice blocks for refrigerant storage and stack them around the bubble cover to meet the transportation conditions corresponding to the standard material;
[0013] S7. Filling: It is easy to get bumped during transportation. In order to further ensure the integrity of the standard materials, fillers should be placed after the ice blocks are stacked to fix the shape and prevent shock and breakage.
[0014] S8, Sealed foam box: Use multiple layers of tape to wrap to ensure the airtightness of the box to ensure the combined temperature control effect of the ice pack foam box;
[0015] S9. Pack into a special box and deliver it for mailing: Check that the marking information on the foam box and the express delivery slip is consistent, put the sealed foam box into a suitable special box for standard substances, paste the express delivery slip, count the handover quantity together with the postal personnel, confirm the transportation method and calculate the cost, keep delivery records, and implement closed-loop management.
[0016] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S1, the ice blocks are frozen to a set temperature 3 days in advance.
[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S6, the method of selecting a corresponding amount of ice pack coolant is as follows:
[0018] When the reference material is transported to the southern region in summer and the transportation conditions are refrigerated, it is necessary to use a combination of 12 biological ice blocks and a large foam box, and choose air transportation to deliver it within 48 hours;
[0019] When the standard material is transported at room temperature, except for transportation to the southern region in summer, it should be delivered by land transportation within 72 hours; when the standard material is transported to the southern region in summer and the transportation condition is room temperature, it is necessary to use a combination of 1-6 pieces of appropriate biological ice blocks and foam boxes, and choose land transportation to deliver it within 72 hours;
[0020] When the transportation conditions are refrigerated or frozen, when transporting to various regions across the country in summer, a combination of 8-12 biological ice blocks and foam boxes must be used, and air transportation must be chosen to deliver within 48 hours; when transporting to the entire country in spring and autumn and to southern regions in winter, a combination of 1-6 biological ice blocks and foam boxes must be used, and land transportation must be chosen to deliver within 72 hours; when transporting to northern regions in winter, land transportation must be chosen to deliver within 72 hours.
[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] The temperature control combination of ice blocks and foam boxes has been verified by CNAS reports and results show that the temperature can be controlled below refrigeration conditions within 48 hours.
[0041] S6. Stacking ice blocks. Based on the results of the third-party temperature control test report, and taking the regional location, seasonal temperature and marked temperature of the standard material as reference, select the corresponding number of ice blocks and coolant storage agents, and stack them around the bubble cover to meet the transportation conditions corresponding to the standard material.
[0042] S7. Filling. It is easy to get bumped during transportation. In order to further ensure the integrity of the standard material, fillers need to be filled after the ice blocks are stacked to fix the shape and prevent shock and breakage.
[0043] S8. Seal the foam box. Wrap it with multiple layers of tape to ensure that the box is airtight to ensure the combined temperature control effect of the ice pack and foam box.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transportation method of the standard substance is affected by the temperature and region of the receiving area, and can be air transportation or land transportation.
[0046] When choosing a packaging method, you need to consider the following four points:
[0047] 1. Temperature control.
[0048] 2. Anti-breakage method.
[0049] 3. Selection of coolant and container materials.
[0050] 4. Specific packaging steps.
[0051] In order to achieve the best effect of shockproof, anti-shattering and temperature control, we conducted 17 groups of experiments. By comparing the results of multiple groups of experiments, we obtained the optimal solutions for the material and quantity of the coolant, the thickness of the foam box and the packaging process.
[0052] The following are the details of the experiment:
[0053] Firstly, the test environment is room temperature (i.e. 27-29.6℃). According to BG / T4857.2-2005 "Basic Tests for Packaging and Transport Packages Part 2: Temperature and Humidity Conditioning Treatment", 12 0-degree 300g ice blocks are placed in the foam box during the test (the ice blocks have been frozen in a -40℃ freezer for 48 hours). A foam box of 40.5*29.5*47cm and 5cm wall thickness is selected.
[0054] During the test, place the foam boxes on the shelves in the test box at the required spacing to ensure good air circulation in the test box. Place ice blocks in the foam boxes and place a temperature sensor in each box. The sensor is located at the bottom of the foam box. Open the test box according to the set experimental program, observe and record the temperature of the temperature sensor, and close the test box after the program is completed. Place the test sample as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0055] The temperature records are shown in Table 3:
