CSafe Receives FAA Approval for New RAP ULD Container

CSafe Global has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for their new RAP ULD container, the latest addition to the company’s full line of active and passive cold chain packaging solutions.
CSafe Global’s commitment to addressing its customers’ needs has been proven yet again with the announcement of the FAA approval of the new CSafe RAP. CSafe has recognized the increasing needs of pharmaceutical and life-science companies to ship large quantities of temperature-sensitive products to patients around the world.
The CSafe RAP is the latest innovation in high performing temperature controlled containers (TCC) purposely designed to support life-science companies with air cargo transportation of life-enhancing or life-saving products.
Developed and designed with performance in mind, the CSafe RAP utilizes innovative heating and compressor-driven cooling technologies together with advanced ThermoCor® VIP insulation to eliminate the payload risks associated with extreme ambient temperature conditions and long-duration shipments. The new CSafe RAP active container system leverages the proven performance and capabilities of the well-established CSafe RKN to remove the operational and environmental challenges encountered with global temperature controlled shipments.
With its newly designed composite exterior panels, the CSafe RAP is not only durable, but is also voluminous, and can easily accommodate up to four standard US-pallets or five standard Euro-pallets. It is approved for use on both lower and upper decks of aircraft, thus allowing expansion of lanes and flights available to pharma companies for delivery of high-value biopharmaceutical products. The CSafe RAP provides an extended battery run time of more than 100 hours, a large payload volume of 6.68m3, and unmatched operational capabilities, maintaining constant payload temperatures even at extreme ambient temperatures from -30°C to +54°C.
Brian Kohr, President and CEO of CSafe Global, remarks, “FAA approval of our new active system is a very important milestone for CSafe Global and puts us another step closer to our planned launch date of early 2018 for the CSafe RAP. By upgrading to CSafe’s active RAP solution, shippers will benefit from the industry’s best performing temperature controlled container to transport their large shipments of valuable product effectively and successfully, time after time, with utmost confidence.”
CSafe Global will continue to provide pertinent information about the forthcoming launch of the new CSafe RAP, including announcements about airline approvals and updates to the global service network. Furthermore, the operational qualification (OQ) report for the new CSafe RAP is now finalized, with this data being available to pharma shippers for system qualification purposes. Pharmaceutical companies may contact CSafe Global at sales@CSafeGlobal.com or their local CSafe sales representative for a copy of the OQ report.

CSafe Global’s Puerto Rico Service Center 100% Operational

CSafe Global’s Service Center in Puerto Rico continues to stay 100% operational, and ready to support our valuable customers and partners.
Since CSafe Global was founded with the objective to help prevent patient suffering resulting from the spoilage or delay of crucial medicines, we understood that remaining closed after Hurricane Maria was just not an option for us. We needed to be ready and prepared to support our pharma customers, and to address their crucial needs for temperature-controlled shipping solutions.
Meet our dedicated team members in the SJU Service Center who, in coordination with the CSafe Global Operations team, arranged for generators to be available to ensure power at our local service center, provided satellite phones and internet hotspots to maintain communication with our customers, installed tanks for drinking water, and provided housing and transportation services for our local employees to ensure operational readiness. As a result, CSafe Global was able to fully restore our operations in Puerto Rico within 72 hours of the devastating hurricane. Since then, CSafe Global has been regularly chartering our CSafe RKN active containers onto the island to ensure system availability.
CSafe Global continues to stand ready to support our customers with their temperature-sensitive cargo needs and the cold-chain transportation of their life-saving medicines off the island, and to their patients around the world.

Senior Helpers® Provides Tips for National Sleep Comfort Month

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/
In honor of National Sleep Comfort Month in November, Senior Helpers®, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care, is offering sleep tips to promote the importance of healthy sleep habits for seniors. According to a recent survey of 1,000 senior citizens ages 65+ issued by the brand, nearly 70 percent of seniors do not meet the National Sleep Foundation’s sleep duration recommendation of 7-8 hours per night for older adults. The study also finds a large majority of seniors experience sleep fragmentation, with 88 percent waking up at least once per night, and nearly 30 percent waking up three times or more. Without sufficient sleep, seniors may experience a reduced quality of life including depression, difficulty concentrating, excessive sleepiness and increased risk for accidents and illness.1
“Sleep is vital to physical, mental and emotional well-being no matter what your age; however, it’s not uncommon that as people grow older, many find themselves sleeping less and having more trouble falling and staying asleep at night2,” said Peter Ross, CEO and co-founder of Senior Helpers. “Getting consistent, quality sleep every night can help with immune health, depression, cognitive issues and a number of other health complications that tend to impact seniors. If you are experiencing difficulties with sleep, it is important to seek help and take measures to get the quality rest you need in order to live the happy and healthy life you deserve.”
In an effort to help seniors sleep more soundly this month and beyond, Senior Helpers offers the following sleep tips:
Exercise during the day
Physical activity is recommended to improve both sleep quality and overall sleep duration.1 Try incorporating moderate aerobic exercise into your daily routine like swimming, fast walking or even ballroom dancing, but be sure to consult with your doctor before jumping into any new exercise regimens.
Implement a pre-bed time ritual
Calming nighttime activities will help your body relax and slow down, making you better prepared for bed. Only one-third of seniors are able to fall asleep instantly, and activities such as listening to music, taking a warm bath and meditation are found helpful in expediting the unwinding process.2
Avoid afternoon naps
Sleeping in the day can make it more difficult to fall and stay asleep at night. The good news? More than half (55 percent) of seniors don’t find themselves needing to nap more as they age.2 If you do find yourself needing some mid-day shut eye, limit naptime to 30 minutes or less.
Drink fewer fluids at night
Bathroom breaks are the most common sleep disruptor among older adults.2 Avoiding liquids a couple of hours before bedtime will limit how often you wake up to use the bathroom throughout the night.
Minimize technology use before bed
Too much light from video screens at bedtime can affect the production of melatonin, giving your body the impression you aren’t ready for sleep3. The best advice is to stop watching TV or using smartphones and other screen devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime to give your brain a rest and the correct signal that it is time for sleep.
Founded in 2001 with a vision to help seniors who wish to remain in their homes despite age-related illnesses and mobility challenges, Senior Helpers serves elderly individuals and their families around the world.
