Operational Management and Readiness of the Cleveland Cord Blood Center Dry Shipper Fleet for HPC, Cord Blood Distribution

Abstract

By staggering the annual requalification process, which requires 1 month to complete, CCBC keeps its fleet in-service and ready to go. Rapid requests for shipments are a common practice, and having readily available, charged, and validated dry shippers facilitates these urgent transplants for patients in need.
