What should we do if our warehouse temperature-control air-conditioning system fails overnight, causing the temperature to go out of range?

This is an emergency that must be handled immediately and systematically. First, once the fault is detected through the alarm system, send someone to the site immediately to assess the situation and arrange repairs as soon as possible. Second, record the incident immediately as a “deviation”, noting when the fault occurred, when the temperature first went out of range, the highest temperature reading, and the affected areas and medicines. Third, immediately quarantine all affected medicines in the “quarantined goods pending examination” area and label them clearly. They must not be dispatched under any circumstances. Fourth, contact the manufacturer of the medicines concerned or consult their stability data to assess the specific impact of this brief temperature excursion on medicine quality. Some medicines may tolerate short-term temperature fluctuations for a certain period, while others are highly sensitive. Finally, the medicines may be considered for release again only after a written assessment from the manufacturer confirms that their quality has not been affected. Otherwise, they must be destroyed in accordance with the procedure. The entire process must be fully documented.
