* In order to allow for adequate packaging time, and to avoid heat exposure of refrigerated medications Aerosafe shipments should not be started until 12:00-12:30 pm each day
** Shipments made before 12:00 pm risk exposure events, while shipments made after 12:30pm risk being too rushed for Canada Post Pickup time at 3:00 pm
*** Aerosafe bins must be first items placed in the Canada post cage (mono) before other IPS items (bubble mailers, boxes, and kangaroo pouches can be added to the shipment. This ensures minimal damage to mailed items.
**** Order cutoff: If order is not checked by 1:30pm it should not be expected to go out that day
Picking:
1. Login to Profill
2. Scan refrigerated items and label
3. Refrigerated products should be placed in individual bins in fridge until pharmacist arrives (approximately 09:00 am)
4. Once pharmacist arrives place cold-chain product on the line with a cold pack
**** NOTE: It is important that the pharmacist be notified of cold-chain products being sent for checking as this reduces the chance that product stays out of the fridge for too long
5. Once checked by pharmacist remove all cold-chain products from the line and transfer these orders to the large warehouse fridge
6. Cold-chain products will remain stored in the warehouse fridge until they are collected for Canada Post pickup
7. Place Aerosafe orders in the warehouse fridge as outlined
