Dry-ice shipping: clinic receiving SOP outline

Receiving outline for dry-ice biologics shipments focused on identity, condition, and documentation.

Reviewed 2026-10-27

SOP scope

Cover package acceptance, identity checks, storage transfer, discrepancy escalation, and record retention. Keep clinical protocol steps in a separate controlled document.

List required PPE and dry-ice handling precautions per your facility safety program.

Start with labeled identity

Begin with the exact tissue type, presentation, and storage class on the current insert. Catalog names help you find a SKU; they do not replace lot-linked identity.

Independent evaluations of commercial cord-tissue allografts have reported low cell counts and only rare viable stem cells. Precision Biologics does not represent these products as containing functional living stem cells or as stem cell therapies.

Discrepancy holds

Define hold criteria for damaged vials, insufficient dry ice, missing documents, or SKU mismatch.

Require a supplier written response before release from clinic quarantine.
