Summit MomCube Breast Milk Refrigerator Description:
Accuold’s MOMCUBE™ is a highly reliable, hospital-grade refrigerator designed for mother’s milk storage. All MOMCUBE™ units are an ideal addition to employee wellness rooms, daycare centers, and work environments seeking to adhere to Section 4207 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They are laboratory-tested to stay within the CDC’s recommended temperature range, whereas similar dorm and residential-style units operate at temperatures that are unsuitable for breast milk storage.
Inside, the Summit MLRS6MCLK MomCube Breast Milk Refrigerator has two lockers, each with a combination lock to ensure privacy for mothers storing their milk, which can be reset or overridden as needed with included master keys. A cycle defrost system allows for little to no maintenance of the unit, while a soft LED light is included with an on/off switch for easy viewing of interior.
The MOMCUBE™ includes a factory-installed antimicrobial handle that is powder-coated with naturally occurring silver ions, which help to reduce the spread of germs, allowing for a safer, cleaner user experience. An LED display that allows the user to monitor and change the temperature as needed. Several alarms ensure temperature stability, and the factory-installed external door lock offers added security. The self-closing, reversible door allows for flexibility in unit placement, while the easy-grip handle makes access quick and convenient. This unit is sized with a 32.5 inches height for freestanding use in most ADA compliant applications. A hospital grade cord with ‘green dot’ plug is also included for added safety in high traffic areas.
MOMCUBE™ units of various capacity, heights, and interiors are available.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical dispatch lead time is 5-7 business days when the unit is in stock; actual transit depends on carrier and destination.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping can be arranged. For deliveries to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties & customs clearance including GST.
• Site access: check doorway width, corridor/elevator clearance, floor-loading capacity.
• Electrical compatibility: This unit is U.S. spec 115 V AC/60 Hz — if installing in Australia (230 V/50 Hz) ensure variant or transformer compatibility.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships palletized and boxed with protective packaging. Unpacked footprint is approximately ~83 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~62 cm D; allow an extra ~118 cm depth for door-open clearance. Delivery site should have a firm, level surface and allow for handling equipment (pallet jack or lift) if needed.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
On delivery inspect the packaging and unit for visible damage or signs of transit delay. If damage is found: photograph condition, retain packaging and delivery receipt, then contact the supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the MLRS6MCLK?
1. Position the unit on a firm, level surface in a climate-controlled indoor space; allow clearance behind, on both sides and above for ventilation, and ensure the door can fully open (depth ~118 cm).
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the unit’s specification (115 V AC/60 Hz); if installing in Australia verify the correct voltage variant or use a suitable step-down transformer.
3. Plug the unit in and switch on; set the target temperature (preset) and allow several hours (typically ~3-4 h) for internal temperature to stabilize before loading any breast-milk or sensitive materials.
4. Confirm the digital display and control panel are functioning, alarms (high/low temperature, door open, power failure) respond correctly, the lockers and locking mechanism are operational, the door seal and handle are in good condition, and shelving/lockers are arranged ensuring unobstructed airflow.
What best practices should I follow when storing breast-milk or sensitive contents?
• Use the individual lockers so each user has private storage; clearly label contents (name, date/time, volume) for traceability.
• Minimize door-open time; store frequently accessed items near the front to reduce ambient intrusion.
• Avoid over-packing or blocking internal circulation – maintain spacing for proper airflow and cooling stability.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, lock condition and interior lighting; maintain logs of internal minimum/maximum temperature and any alarm events if required by your facility’s protocol.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If the internal temperature rises above or falls below the safe range, or if a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature, impacted contents.
• Immediately relocate critical contents (breast milk) to validated backup refrigeration until conditions stabilise.
• Investigate root cause (e.g., door left open, ambient heat load, sensor/power fault).
• Once the unit returns to normal operation and internal temperature stabilizes within the safe range, verify contents are safe before returning them.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gaskets/seals, hinges, handle/lock mechanisms for wear or damage.
• Quarterly: Clean condenser coils and ventilation pathways; ensure fan and airflow are unobstructed and free of dust or blockages.
• Periodically: Test audible/visual alarms, remote monitoring ports (if fitted) and calibrate sensors as required. Maintain service, calibration and temperature-log records for audit readiness.
