Summit Vaccine Built-In Healthcare Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of affordable, specialty refrigeration solutions for healthcare facilities seeking specialized cold storage.
Summit ACR51WLHD Vaccine Built-In Healthcare Refrigerator is an upright 3.88 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. This unit features a front-breathing design for safe built-in installation under counters. The fully finished cabinet also allows freestanding use.
The Summit ACR51WLHD Vaccine Built-In 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, as well as two 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 robust temperature recovery after door openings.
This unit ships with a left-hand door swing (for a right-hand version, see model ACR51W). The ACR series is also available certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard with the upgrade of a NIST-calibrated temperature readout (see model ACR51WNSF456). 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.

Install a calibrated data logger or min/max thermometer at a mid-shelf level, label and rotate inventory, avoid over-packing to maintain airflow, minimize door-open time, and record start-of-day internal temperature checks.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Check the door-gasket seal annually for integrity, clean condenser/vent areas semi-annually or as scheduled, verify thermostat/alarm/probe monthly, keep the unit level and unobstructed for reliable performance.
What should be done if a temperature excursion or alarm occurs?
Document the time, recorded temperature deviation and contents affected; if necessary relocate items to approved backup storage; identify and correct the root cause (e.g., door left open, blocked airflow, power interruption); return the unit to set-point and log the incident per facility SOP.
