ABSTRACT:
A carrier apparatus has an insulated structure with a drawer unit located therein. A primary thermal electric cooler (TEC) both heats and cools the pharmaceuticals located in the drawer unit. A controller senses the interior temperature and operates the TEC to maintain the interior temperature at room temperature. One type of temperature sensor is amerced in a liquid to better approximate the temperature of the pharmaceuticals. The drawer unit has an insulated refrigerated drawer, which holds refrigerated drugs. The refrigerated drawer has a TEC that is operated by the controller. The controller monitors a number of parameters, such temperature, time, and battery charge level, as well as a number of events, such as door and drawer openings and closings, operation of any TEC, and pharmaceutical temperatures being out of range. The controller also accepts patient treatment information by way of keypad entries. All of this information is recorded in non-volatile memory on a periodic basis so as to form a state record. The state record can be used to show that the pharmaceuticals in the carrier have been maintained in temperature compliance, as well as for other purposes.
