Description
Summit Medical Pharmacy Storage Refrigerator Description:
Accucold by Summit Appliance carries a quality line of pharmaceutical refrigeration for temperature-safe storage of sensitive material.
The Summit ACR1151 Medical Pharmacy Storage Refrigerator is conveniently sized with a 24″ footprint for space-challenged facilities, with a front-breathing system that allows built-in or freestanding use. The exterior and interior are constructed from stainless steel for easier cleaning and improved sanitation. The glass door provides a full view of the 11 cu.ft. interior while adding protection with the self-closing design. A factory installed lock offers added security. A hospital grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug offers added safety in high traffic facilities.
Inside, the Summit ACR1151 Medical Pharmacy Storage Refrigerator includes six cantilevered chrome shelves that can easily be rearranged to accommodate a variety of sizes. Fan-forced cooling ensures cold air is evenly distributed throughout the interior. This model uses frost-free operation for easy user maintenance, with an audible open door alarm that will sound if the door is ajar for over 60 seconds. A digital thermostat offers intuitive temperature control that can be viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Designed for optimum pharmaceutical storage, the temperature range is 2ºC to 8ºC.
NOTE: Due to the self-closing design of the door, this unit is currently only available with a right hand door swing.
NOTE: Accucold refrigerators are purpose-built to the support meeting the current CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines for the storage of vaccines. At this time, Accucold refrigerators have not been evaluated to the new NSF 456 standard. As referenced in the current Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit, these units incorporate microprocessor controls and forced air circulation for stable operation between 2 and 8ºC. For additional temperature assurance, the CDC recommends a calibrated digital data logger (DDL), which can be added with the factory-installed option DL2B or addition of the DL2BKit accessory.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical lead time: 1–3 business days when in stock and ready for dispatch.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance, and GST.
• Site access: ensure doorways or elevators can accommodate ~60 cm width × ~58 cm depth and allow ~114 cm front clearance for full door-swing.
• Electrical compatibility: The standard U.S. model is rated at 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia’s 230 V / 50 Hz you must order the correct export variant or install a certified step-down transformer by a licensed electrician.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships palletized and boxed; approximate unpacked footprint ~148 cm H × ~60 cm W × ~58 cm D; allow front clearance ~114 cm. Ensure path from delivery vehicle to installation area is level, firm and clear of obstructions.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
On delivery inspect the outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any damage, retain all packaging and the delivery receipt, then contact your supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange a replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the ACR1151?
1. Place the unit upright on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled environment; allow clearance behind/above and about ~114 cm in front for full door-swing.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching your ordered variant’s voltage.
3. Power on the unit, set the digital temperature controller to between +2 °C and +8 °C, and allow several hours (approx. 4–6) for the interior to stabilize before loading sensitive materials.
What best practices should I follow when using this refrigerator?
• Store items on the six adjustable shelves with spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing.
• Label stored contents with batch number and date/time; apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation where applicable.
• Minimize door-open times; rely on the digital display and alarms rather than frequent access.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/lock, and ensure the unit remains level and clean interior surfaces.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If the internal temperature rises above or falls below the +2 °C to +8 °C range, or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature and impacted contents.
• Transfer critical items to validated backup refrigeration until safe conditions return.
• Investigate root cause (door ajar, ambient heat load, power/sensor fault).
• Once the unit returns to stable operation and reaches the target range, inspect contents for integrity before resuming normal use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal, hinges/lock mechanism; confirm the unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; check fan and thermostat/alarm functionality.
• Periodically: Review any stored temperature logs (if monitoring used), verify calibration of monitoring equipment, and maintain documented service/maintenance records for compliance.
