Facility storage playbook
Practical storage habits for clinics and med spas: dedicated cold space, labeling, excursions, reconstituted staging, and what PeptIQ does not monitor for you.

Give peptides a dedicated physical home
Peptide inventory should not share an open break-room fridge with staff lunches. Clinics that scale cleanly treat storage like a mini pharmacy zone: access control, temperature visibility, and unambiguous labels.
- Use a medical-grade or designated clinical refrigerator whenever policy requires it.
- Post the approved temperature range on the door and log checks on a schedule.
- Segregate unopened stock, reconstituted stock, and quarantine when SOPs call for it.
- Limit keys or keypad access to trained staff; log visitors who need escorted access.
Temperature excursions and power events
- 1Write what “excursion” means for your clinic (how many degrees, for how long).
- 2Assign who is paged when a logger alarms or the fridge fails overnight.
- 3Quarantine affected vials until a clinician or pharmacy partner decides disposition.
- 4Document the event, decisions, and any patient impact notification required by policy.
- 5Restock only after the equipment is verified and logs look stable.
Labeling that survives a busy shift
- Every vial should answer: what, how strong, for whom (if patient-specific), prepared when, usable until, by whom.
- Never leave reconstituted material unlabeled “for a minute”—minutes become hours.
- Dispose of expired or compromised material through approved pharmaceutical waste pathways.
- Audit the fridge weekly for orphans, faded labels, and mixed-lot confusion.
