Call 112 if someone is in acute, life-threatening danger or an ambulance is needed right now. UrgentX is not an ambulance service and does not transport patients.

Refrigerated or at ambient temperature, measured at pickup and delivery

Two conditions, each with its own box. The driver measures the temperature at pickup and at delivery and records it with the time and his name.

2-8 °C in cool boxes with pre-conditioned elements; 15-25 °C in insulated boxes, conditioned in summer and winter.

On a deviation we report immediately to your contact and do not deliver without your release.

If no reading was taken, the record says not recorded. We never show 'in order' without a reading.

Who decides whether a shipment is still usable after an excursion?

You, as the party responsible for the product; we establish and report. In case of an excursion we report immediately to your contact person, do not deliver without your release and record the excursion in the file.

What does the report say if nothing was measured?

Then it says 'not recorded'. Recording is not the same as validating: the report states what was actually measured during this ride, with time and name, and is only worth something if it also honestly says what was not measured.
