| Step | Action | |------|--------| | 1 | Open the refrigerator only for the minimum time necessary to read the thermometer. | | 2 | Read the temperature display. | | 3 | Record the temperature in the corresponding time slot on the monitoring sheet. | | 4 | Immediately compare the recorded value against the acceptable range (typically for pharmaceutical/laboratory fridges; 0°C to +4°C for food storage – adjust per internal standard). | | 5 | Initial the entry. | | 6 | If temperature is outside the acceptable range: mark as deviation, notify the responsible supervisor immediately, and log the corrective action taken (e.g., adjust thermostat, move products to backup fridge, call maintenance). |
Open the fridge as little as possible. Record the temperature immediately upon viewing the external probe. Cold air escapes when you open the door, causing a false reading. Fisa Monitorizare Temperatura Frigidere.doc
