Storage History

Review the efficacy, dosage, side effects, and precautions of storage history. This is a record of the actual temperature, humidity, and sealing conditions under which the product was stored after receipt, used alongside date markings to determine quality. If the color, smell, or viscosity has changed, or if the packaging is bloated or leaking, do not taste the product to check. Provide the preparation date, expiration date, and actual storage history to the dispensing institution and withhold use until it is confirmed whether the product can be taken. Add the confirmed answer and the date of inquiry to the record.

Criteria to check first

  • Actual temperature, humidity, and sealing status
  • Evaluation combined with the expiration date
  • Pause administration if abnormal changes occur

What is storage history?

Storage history refers to where the product was actually stored and under what temperature, humidity, and sealing conditions after it was received. The storage conditions written on the label Storage Conditionsare the standards that must be followed, while the storage history is the record of whether those standards were actually maintained.

Why is this viewed along with the expiration date?

Expiration Dateis based on the premise that the indicated conditions were followed. If there was exposure to high temperatures, repeated temperature fluctuations, damage to the seal, or contamination, the date alone does not guarantee quality.

What should be recorded if there were storage issues?

Record the period (from when to when), the location, whether it was kept refrigerated or at room temperature, and whether the packaging was opened. Also include unusual situations, such as time spent inside a vehicle or on a sunny windowsill, power outages, delivery delays, or contact with wet tools. If photos are available, take separate pictures of the entire container, the label, and any changes in the contents.

If the color, smell, or viscosity has changed, or if the packaging is bloated or leaking, do not check by tasting it. Preparation DateProvide the preparation date, expiration date, and actual storage history to the dispensing institution and pause administration until you confirm whether it is safe to take. Add the confirmed answer and the date of inquiry to the record.
