Summit Countertop MOMCUBE Breast Milk Freezer Description:
Accucold’s MOMCUBE® freezers are designed and purpose-built for breast milk storage. All MOMCUBE® units are laboratory-tested to maintain proper breast milk temperature, as recommended by the CDC and ideal for maternity wards, hospitals, NICUs, employee wellness rooms complying with Section 4207 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other facilities.
The Summit AFZ1PVMCLHD Countertop MOMCUBE Breast Milk Freezer is a 1.4 cu.ft. all-freezer with a temperature range of -18°F to -4°F as recommended for the long-term storage of human milk. 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 temperature of the stored milk 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 to the nearest tenth of a degree. 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 ‘green dot’ plug is also included for added safety in high traffic areas.
Inside, this freezer features 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. Static manual defrost cooling helps to ensure stable temperature conditions.
The Summit AFZ1PVMCLHD Countertop MOMCUBE Breast Milk Freezer comes in a white cabinet finish with a blue accented control panel. 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. The door ships with a left hand swing and self-closing function, while a factory-installed lock provides security as needed, with two keys for staff use. Powerful magnetic gaskets ensure a positive seal.
Designed with hydrocarbon refrigerant, all Accucold Performance Series MOMCUBE freezers provide an energy efficient solution to breast milk storage. Additional sizes, as well as matching refrigerators, are also available.

What shipping or delivery method is typical?
Given its size and weight, shipping may be by standard freight or parcel depending on destination. Ensure receiving area accommodates safe delivery, positioning and testing before loading contents.
Application FAQ
Is this freezer suitable for breast-milk storage in clinical or wellness environments?
Yes — it is purpose-built for breast-milk storage, with the correct temperature range, monitoring features and build suitable for maternity, NICU, lactation or employee-wellness applications.
What best practices should be followed for daily operation?
Use a calibrated data logger or min/max thermometer on a shelf at mid-height, label and rotate milk stock regularly, avoid over-packing shelves to maintain proper airflow, minimize door-open duration, and record start-of-day internal temperatures.
What maintenance should be performed regularly?
Check the door-gasket seal annually, clean or vacuum condenser/vent areas at least twice per year, verify the alarm and probe functions monthly or per your protocol, and keep storage area level and unobstructed for reliable performance.
What should you do if a temperature excursion or alarm occurs?
Document the event (time, deviation and contents affected), relocate milk to backup storage if required, identify root cause (such as door left open, airflow blocked or power loss), restore proper conditions, and log the incident as per your facility’s procedure.
