Summit MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator Description:
Accucold’s MOMCUBE™ upright all-refrigerators are designed and purpose-built for breast milk storage. All MOMCUBE™ units are laboratory-tested to maintain temperature between 33-40°F, as recommended by the CDC and ideal for maternity wards, hospitals, NICUs, employee wellness rooms complying with Section 4207 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other facilities.
The Summit ARS8MLMC MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator is an 8 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. The microprocessor digital thermostat is located in the top control panel, with an LED display of the interior temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in glycol to simulate the temperature of the interior’s contents, while a second sensor measures interior air temperature for added control. Audible and visual alarms alert you to temperature fluctuations. Additional alarms include an open door alarm, power failure alarm, sensor alarm, and remote alarm contacts in the rear, which allow for alarm forwarding to an external remote alarm system. The pre-installed ½ inch probe hole is located in the right interior wall to allow for additional user-supplied monitoring devices. The digital display provides the min/max temperature in Fahrenheit to the nearest tenth of a degree. Users can switch to Celsius in a few simple steps. Temperature parameters are password protected but can be adjusted aftermarket. This unit comes with a hospital grade cord with a green dot plug for added safety in high traffic areas.
Inside, the Summit ARS8MLMC MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator boasts seven adjustable plastic coated wire shelves for optimal storage flexibility. The forced air cooling system with two internal fans helps to provide temperature uniformity, stability, and quick recovery from door openings. An adjustable cycle defrost system helps to avoid temperature spikes and ice build-up. A soft LED light is included with this unit with an option to turn on/off with a rocker switch. The interior is constructed from white powder coated metal providing added durability and improved temperature retention.
The MOMCUBE™ comes in a white cabinet with blue display panel. The factory-installed antimicrobial handle is powder-coated with naturally occurring silver ions, which help to reduce the spread of germs, allowing for a safer, cleaner user experience. The user-friendly reversible door comes standard in a right-hand swing with a self-closing function (note: this function is disabled if reversed to LHD). Magnetic gaskets ensure a sight seal for improved performance. The factory-installed lock offers additional security.
The MOMCUBE is an eco-friendly solution to breast milk storage. Units of various capacity, heights, and interiors are available. Explore the entire MOMCUBE™ Series on our website or contact our sales team at 1-888-750-3800 for more options.

Product FAQ
What is the ARS8MLMC and what is it designed for?
The ARS8MLMC is a healthcare-grade all-refrigerator with approximately 227 L (≈ 8 cu ft) capacity and external dimensions about 127 cm H × 59 cm W × 62 cm D.
It is purpose-built for breast-milk storage in clinical or lactation-room environments, supporting the recommended storage temperature range of ~0.6 °C to ~4.4 °C (≈ 33 °F to 40 °F).
What temperature range and control features does it support?
This unit maintains an interior temperature range of approximately 0.6 °C to 4.4 °C (≈ 33 °F to 40 °F) as per clinical breast-milk storage guidelines.
It uses a digital microprocessor controller with external LED display, a buffered probe encased in glycol for content-simulated readings, an additional air sensor for accuracy, and password-protected settings.
What alarms, monitoring and security features are included?
Includes audible/visual high/ and low-temperature alarms, door-ajar alert, power-failure alarm, sensor-fault alert, remote alarm-contact outputs for integration, a factory-installed keyed lock for secure contents, and a ½″ probe access port for external logging.
What construction and usability features support its clinical application?

Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate external size: ~127 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~62 cm D.
Typical shipping weight is about ~73 kg (≈ 160 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz with a current draw of ~1.4 amps.
Requires a dedicated grounded outlet and level installation surface, clear door-swing and ventilation space, particularly important in clinical-grade installation zones.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit upon delivery for transit damage; if shipped on its side allow at least several hours upright before powering; ensure unit is level; maintain full door-swing and ventilation clearance; test the temperature controller, alarms, and probe port before loading milk storage.
What delivery or shipping method is typical for this model?
Because of its professional medical specification, this unit typically ships via palletized freight. Ensure staging area is level and accessible in advance, and that installation path is clear and stable.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for breast-milk storage in clinical or lactation-room settings?
Yes — the ARS8MLMC is purpose-built for the safe storage of breast milk, supports the roughly 0.6 °C to 4.4 °C range, includes the critical monitoring, alarm and security features required for clinical compliance, and aligns with maternity-ward or NICU use.
What daily best-practice steps should be followed for operation?
Use a calibrated data logger placed mid-shelf; label and rotate stored milk containers; avoid over-packing which may restrict air circulation; minimize door-open time; and record daily minimum/maximum temperature readings and any alarm events as part of facility workflow.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser and ventilation paths at least twice per year; each month check operation of alarm, probe and thermostat; annually inspect door-gasket seal and verify door self-closing function; ensure the cabinet remains level and airflow unobstructed.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the date, time, temperature deviation and affected milk containers; if required relocate contents to an approved backup unit; identify and correct the root cause (door left open, power interruption, blocked airflow); restore stable temperature before returning contents; log corrective actions per facility SOP.
