Summit Medical Healthcare Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of affordable, specialty refrigeration solutions for healthcare facilities seeking specialized cold storage.
Summit ACR1012GNSF456 Medical Healthcare Refrigerator is an upright 9.88 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. It features a clean white exterior and a blue-accented control panel. The solid door is equipped with a self-closing mechanism to help protect stored items from being overexposed to room temperature. A factory-installed lock offers added security, and the hospital-grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug ensures a secure connection for high-traffic areas.
The Summit ACR1012GNSF456 Medical Healthcare Refrigerator includes an external readout of the interior temperature, as well as the high/low temperature as required for data records. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a bottle filled with glass beads for improved accuracy and calibrated to NIST standards in our in-house ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified laboratory. The digital temperature controls allow you to set the interior between 2 and 8ºC. An audible alarm sounds if the temperature goes out of range. We also include a pre-installed 3/8″ access port for users to add their own monitoring equipment if preferred. The interior includes one wire shelf in the center to hold the temperature probe and additional adjustable shelves to accommodate different sizes. Internal LED lighting provides an efficient and convenient view. Automatic defrost reduces user maintenance and an internal fan ensures powerful temperature recovery after door openings.
EQTemp’s series of ACR refrigeration is certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. All models feature hydrocarbon refrigerant for a greener footprint. Additional sizes are available, as well as more advanced cold storage equipment purpose-built for laboratory and life science storage. Browse the full product line to explore our extensive selection.
