Summit Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of NSF/ANSI 456 certified refrigeration designed to store a variety of materials in healthcare facilities.
Summit ACR1602GNSF456 Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator is an upright 15.53 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. It features a clean white exterior and a blue-accented control panel. The glass 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. This unit features a front-breathing design for safe built-in installation under counters. The fully finished cabinet also allows freestanding use.
The Summit ACR1602GNSF456 Vaccine 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, as well as 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.

Product FAQ
What is the ACR1602GNSF456 and what is it designed for?
The ACR1602GNSF456 is a full-height healthcare-grade refrigerator with approximately 15.53 cu ft (≈ 440 L) of internal capacity and a width of about 24 in (≈ 61 cm). It is certified for vaccine-storage applications and intended for clinical, hospital, or laboratory use where reliable +2 °C to +8 °C storage is required.
What temperature range and control features does it support?
It maintains an operating range of +2 °C to +8 °C and uses a digital microprocessor controller with external display showing current and high/low temperatures. It includes a buffered temperature probe for accurate stored-product monitoring.
What alarm, monitoring and security features are included?
Includes audible/visual high/low-temperature alarms, a door-ajar alert, power-failure alarm, remote alarm contacts, factory-installed keyed lock, a dedicated probe access port for external monitoring equipment, and a self-closing door to prevent inadvertent exposure.
What construction and usability features support its healthcare purpose?
Features include a glass door (with factory reversible swing), hospital-grade “green-dot” plug, front-breathing ventilation for built-in use, adjustable wire shelving (six shelves), LED interior lighting, automatic defrost, foamed-in-place insulation, and a sealed-back cabinet for easier cleaning.
Shipping FAQ
What are the external dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate dimensions: 195 cm H × 59 cm W × 71 cm D (≈ 76.75″ × 23.38″ × 28.0″); shipping weight approximately 80 kg (≈ 176 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz with a draw around 2.0 amps; requires a dedicated grounded outlet, level surface, and sufficient clearance for airflow (rear and sides) especially when built-in.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect for visible shipping damage upon delivery; if transported on its side allow it to stand upright for several hours before powering; ensure unit is level; maintain door-swing and ventilation clearance; test controller, alarms and probe prior to loading contents.
What delivery method is typical for this model?
This model commonly ships via palletized freight due to its size and clinical certification; ensure receiving area has access, floor is level, staging area predefined and installation space cleared before delivery.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or pharmaceutical cold-chain storage?
Yes — the ACR1602GNSF456 is specifically engineered for healthcare storage, with certification for vaccine applications, consistent +2 °C to +8 °C range control, and built-in monitoring and security features to support clinical protocols.
What best practices should be followed for daily operation?
Use a calibrated data logger placed at mid-shelf height, label and rotate inventory regularly, avoid over-packing shelves (to preserve airflow), minimize door-open time, and log internal temperature readings each day as part of your facility’s compliance practice.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser and ventilation areas semi-annually; verify alarm, probe and thermostat functionality monthly (or per facility schedule); inspect door-gasket seal annually for integrity; keep the unit level and vents unobstructed to maintain reliable performance.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the time of the event, temperature deviation and contents affected; if necessary relocate contents to approved backup storage; identify and correct the root cause (e.g., door ajar, blocked airflow, power interruption); restore correct conditions; and log corrective actions per facility standard operating procedure.
