    Hi Brains Trust

    I have a really strange question but was just wondering if there is a safe amount of time that power (and therefore air handling units) can be down for in sterile storage areas before stock is compromised? I am just concerned that even if temperature and humidity was maintained that the air changes would not have been..

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards
    Mary

    Hi Mary

    A couple of hours . No more. It would also depend on if everything else was in place as required for sterile storage.
    For example: designated area, restricted traffic, cleaning , educated staff, temperature and humidity compliance etc
