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 AFZ2PVBIADALHD 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 AFZ2PVBIADALHD 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 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, 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 matching refrigerators, are also available.
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.

What environments and applications is this freezer suited for?
Ideal for clinical facilities, pharmacies, vaccine-storage rooms, immunization centers or wellness rooms that require reliable sub-zero storage in a compact footprint rather than standard break-room use.
Shipping FAQ
What are the unit’s dimensions and shipping weight?
Dimensions: roughly 32″ H × 19.75″ W × 22.63″ D (≈81 cm × 50 cm × 57 cm); shipping weight approximately 99 lbs (≈45 kg).
What are the electrical and installation requirements?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz, draws about 1.3 amps; a dedicated grounded outlet is required and the cabinet must be level with adequate ventilation around the rear and sides.
What unpacking or placement considerations should I follow?
Check packaging on delivery for damage, allow the unit to remain upright if transported on its side, verify level placement, ensure ventilation clearance, and test alarm and control functionality before loading contents.
What shipping or delivery mode is typical for this unit?
Due to its size and weight, this freezer typically ships via pallet freight‐style; ensure delivery path and receiving area support adequate access and staging for installation.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or biologic cold-chain storage?
Yes — it is engineered for vaccine and pharmaceutical storage at –30 °C to –10 °C and includes monitoring and control features to support clinical compliance in healthcare settings.
What best practices should be followed for daily operation?
Place a calibrated data logger or min/max thermometer inside at a mid-shelf level, label and rotate inventory, avoid over-filling or blocking shelves (to maintain airflow), minimize door-open time, and record start-of-day temperature checks as part of your protocol.
What maintenance should be performed regularly?
Check the door-gasket seal annually for integrity, clean condenser and ventilation areas periodically, test alarm, temperature and probe functionality at defined intervals (monthly or per your SOP), ensure the unit remains level and venting is unobstructed.
What should you do in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the incident (time, temperature deviation and contents affected), relocate items to backup storage if required, identify root cause (door left open, airflow blocked, power issue), restore proper set‐point and monitor until stable, and log the event according to your facility’s procedure.
