Summit Pharmacy Vaccine Freezer Description:
Accucold’s Pharma-Vac Performance Series upright freezers are designed and purpose-built for pharmacy, medication, and vaccine applications, supporting compliance with CDC/VFC/VFA guidelines.
The Summit AFS14PV 9.53 cu.ft. Pharmacy Vaccine Freezer is an upright frost-free all-freezer with a temperature range of -30°C to -10°C as recommended for various vaccines and pharmaceuticals. The microprocessor temperature controller is externally located to minimize door openings, helping to protect stored contents from ambient temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a glycol-filled bottle to better simulate the temperature of the stored product, with an additional sensor that reads air temperature to ensure superior temperature control. The current and min/max temperature display is viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit . The audible and visual temperature alarm sounds if the unit’s interior goes out of range. Additional alarms include a power failure alert, door open alarm, and sensor failure alarm. This model is equipped with remote alarm contacts in the rear and a 1/2″ probe port on the right side to accept additional monitoring devices. A hospital-grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug is also included for added safety in high-traffic areas.
Inside, this freezer has 9.53 cu. ft of storage space and features six adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves that can be positioned at 1/2″ increments to accommodate virtually any sized item. This unit includes LED internal lighting with an on/off rocker switch. The interior is constructed from white powder-coated metal to ensure added durability and better temperature retention.
The Summit AFS14PV 9.53 cu.ft. Pharmacy Vaccine Freezer comes in a white exterior finish with a blue accented control panel and user-reversible door. The factory-installed antimicrobial handle is powder-coated with naturally occurring silver ions, which help to reduce the spread of germs, allowing for a safer, cleaner user experience. This model includes a factory-installed lock and ships with two keys for staff use. Powerful magnetic gaskets ensure a positive seal. Four pre-installed 4″ high casters with brakes make it easier to move as needed.
Additional sizes and matching all-refrigerators are also available.
NOTE: Accucold freezers are purpose-built to meet the current CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines for the storage of vaccines. For additional temperature assurance, the CDC recommends a calibrated digital data logger (DDL), which can be added with the factory-installed option DL2B or the DL2BKit accessory.
