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 ACR52GNSF456LHD Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator is an upright 3.88 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 ACR52GNSF456LHD 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. This unit ships with a left-hand door swing (for a right-hand version, see model ACR52GNSF456).
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.
Note: EQTemp’s ACR Series refrigerators are intended for a wide variety of healthcare storage applications. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, and medical/clinical biologicals require a product offering tighter temperature control and/or alarms, monitoring, and backup.

What best practices should be followed for daily operation?
Install a calibrated data-logger or min/max thermometer at shelf-mid level, label and rotate stored contents, avoid over-packing that restricts airflow, minimise door-open time, record start-of-day internal temperature, and review high/low logs regularly.
What maintenance routine is recommended?
Check the door-gasket seal for tight closure annually, clean condenser/vent pathways semi-annually, test alarm and control functions monthly, ensure the unit remains level and free of obstruction, and verify probe calibration periodically.
What should I do in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document date/time of the alarm, measured temperature deviation and affected contents; transfer items to alternative storage if required; inspect causes (door left open, airflow blockage, power issue); return unit to set-point and log corrective actions as per facility SOP.
