Summit Medical Vaccine ADA Freezer Description:
Accucold’s Pharma-Vac Performance Series are upright freezers are designed and purpose-built for pharmacy, medication, and vaccine applications to support meeting CDC/VFC guidelines.
The Summit AFZ2PVBIADA Medical Vaccine ADA Freezer is a 2.47 cu.ft. all-freezer with a temperature range of -30°C to -10°C as recommended for a variety of vaccines and pharmaceuticals. It is designed for freestanding or recessed installation and sized just under 32″ high to fit under lower counters complying with ADA guidelines for accessibility. 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 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 AFZ2PVBIADA Medical Vaccine ADA 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 user-reversible door ships with a right 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, Accucold Performance series freezers provide an energy efficient solution to vaccine storage. This unit is Pyxis, Omnicell, and AcuDose RX compatible. Additional sizes, as well as solid door options, are also available. Explore the full Pharma-Vac series at accucold.com/pharmavac.
NOTE: Accucold freezers are purpose-built to the support meeting 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 addition of the DL2BKit accessory.

Product FAQ
What is the AFZ2PVBIADA and what is it designed for?
The AFZ2PVBIADA is an ADA-height healthcare-grade upright freezer with approximately 70 L (≈ 2.47 cu ft) capacity and external dimensions of about 81 cm H × 50 cm W × 57 cm D (≈ 32″ × 19.75″ × 22.63″). It is specifically engineered for vaccine and medication storage, meeting clinical cold-chain requirements in constrained under-counter or stand-alone installations.
What temperature range and control features does it support?
It supports a very low set-point range of approximately −30 °C to −10 °C, managed by a digital microprocessor controller with external display and internal buffered probe to reflect stored-product rather than just ambient temperature.
What alarms, monitoring and security features are included?
Built-in features include audible and visual high/low-temperature alarms, door-ajar alert, power-failure notification, sensor-fault alarm, remote alarm contact outputs, and a factory-installed keyed lock for secure contents.
What construction and usability features support its healthcare application?
Features include self-closing door, antimicrobial handle, hospital-grade power cord, adjustable wire shelves, LED interior lighting, front-ventilation design for built-in or freestanding use, and sealed-back cabinet construction for easier cleaning in clinical environments.
Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate external dimensions: 81 cm H × 50 cm W × 57 cm D; shipping weight around 45 kg (≈ 99 lbs).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz, drawing about 1.3 amps. Requires a dedicated grounded outlet, level installation surface, and proper clearance for the door-swing and ventilation.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit immediately for shipping damage; if it was transported on its side allow the cabinet to stand upright for several hours before powering; confirm the unit is level; make sure door-swing and ventilation clearance are maintained; test the controller and alarms before loading contents.
What delivery or shipping method is typical for this model?
Due to its clinical-specification and compact under-counter size, this model typically ships via palletized freight. Ensure receiving access is clear, staging surface is level, and installation site is ready in advance.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or pharmaceutical cold-chain storage?
Yes — the AFZ2PVBIADA is purpose-built for vaccine/medication cold-chain use, supports a −30 °C to −10 °C range, includes monitoring and security features aligned with clinical protocols, and is sized for ADA-compatible placement.
What daily best-practice steps should be followed?
Place a calibrated data logger at mid-shelf height; label and rotate stored inventory; avoid over-packing that could restrict airflow; minimize door-open time; and record daily internal temperature readings as part of your facility procedure.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser and ventilation paths semi-annually; verify alarm, probe and thermostat function monthly (or per your facility schedule); inspect the door-gasket annually; ensure the unit remains level and ventilation is unobstructed.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the event with time and temperature deviation, note the impacted contents; relocate items to approved backup storage if necessary; identify and correct the root cause (door ajar, blocked airflow, power interruption); restore proper conditions and log corrective actions per facility SOP.
