Summit Compact Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of affordable, specialty refrigeration solutions for healthcare facilities seeking specialized cold storage.
Summit ACR22G Compact Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator is a compact 1.94 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.
The Summit ACR22G Compact Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator includes an external readout of the interior temperature and the high/low temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a bottle filled with glass beads for improved accuracy. 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. Internal LED lighting provides an efficient and convenient view. Automatic defrost reduces user maintenance, and an internal fan ensures robust temperature recovery after door openings.
This unit is also available certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard with the upgrade of a NIST calibrated temperature readout (see model ACR22GNSF456). Additional sizes are available, as well as more advanced cold storage equipment purpose-built for laboratory and life science storage. Browse the complete product line to explore our extensive selection.
Note: EQTemp’s ACR Series refrigerators are intended for various healthcare storage applications. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, and medical/clinical biologicals requires a product offering tighter temperature control and/or alarms, monitoring, and backup.
