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 AFZ5PVBIADA Medical Vaccine ADA Freezer is a 3.88 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 AFZ5PVBIADA 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.
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.

Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate external size: ~81 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~64 cm D; shipping weight around ~57 kg (≈ 125 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz with a current draw of about 1.3 amps. Requires a dedicated grounded outlet, a level installation surface, clear door-swing and adequate ventilation clearance for front-intake/exhaust if recessed.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit on delivery for visible damage; if transported on its side allow it to stand upright for several hours before powering; ensure the cabinet is properly level; maintain full door-swing and ventilation clearance; test the controller and alarm system before loading contents.
What delivery or shipping method is typical for this model?
Due to its clinical specification and compact ADA height, this model commonly ships via palletized freight. Ensure receiving area access, clear installation path and level staging area are prepared in advance.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or pharmaceutical cold-chain storage?
Yes — the AFZ5PVBIADA is explicitly designed for vaccine and medication storage, supports a −30 °C to −10 °C range, and includes monitoring, alarm and security features suited to clinical protocols.
What daily best-practice steps should be followed for operation?
Use a calibrated data logger placed mid-shelf; label and rotate stored inventory; avoid over-packing which may restrict airflow; minimize door-open time; and record internal temperature checks at the start of each day as part of your facility’s procedure.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean the condenser and ventilation paths semi-annually; monthly verify alarm, probe and thermostat functionality; annually inspect door-gasket seal; 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 time, temperature deviation and which contents were affected; if required relocate items to approved backup storage; identify and correct the root cause (door ajar, blocked airflow, power fault); restore proper conditions and log corrective actions per your SOP.
