Summit MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator Description:
Accucold’s MOMCUBE™ upright all-refrigerators are designed and purpose-built for breast milk storage. All MOMCUBE™ units are laboratory-tested to maintain temperature between 33-40°F, 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 ARS12MLMCLK MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator is a 12 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. The microprocessor digital thermostat is located in the top control panel, with an LED display of the interior temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in glycol to simulate the temperature of the interior’s contents, while a second sensor measures interior air temperature for added control. Audible and visual alarms alert you to temperature fluctuations. Additional alarms include an open door alarm, power failure alarm, sensor alarm, and remote alarm contacts in the rear, which allow for alarm forwarding to an external remote alarm system. The pre-installed ½ inch probe hole is located in the right interior wall to allow for additional user-supplied monitoring devices. The digital display provides the min/max temperature in Fahrenheit to the nearest tenth of a degree. Users can switch to Celsius in a few simple steps. Temperature parameters are password protected but can be adjusted aftermarket. This unit comes with a hospital grade cord with a green dot plug for added safety in high traffic areas.
Inside, the Summit ARS12MLMCLK MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator boasts six locking compartments, each with a combination lock to ensure added privacy for mothers storing their breast milk. Combination locks can be reset or overridden as needed with included master keys. The locker doors are constructed from galvanized steel, while the wire shelving and forced air cooling system with two internal fans helps to provide temperature uniformity, stability, and quick recovery from door openings. An adjustable cycle defrost system helps to avoid temperature spikes and ice build-up. A soft LED light is included with this unit with an option to turn on/off with a rocker switch. The interior is constructed from white powder coated metal providing added durability and improved temperature retention.
The MOMCUBE™ comes in a white cabinet with blue display 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-friendly reversible door comes standard in a right-hand swing. Magnetic gaskets ensure a sight seal for improved performance. The factory-installed lock offers additional security.
The Summit ARS12MLMCLK MOMCUBE Breast Milk Refrigerator is an eco-friendly solution to breast milk storage. Units of various capacity, heights, and interiors are available. Explore the entire MOMCUBE™ Series on our website or contact our sales team at 718-893-3900 ext. 509 for more options.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical dispatch time is approximately **2-3 business days** when unit is in stock; actual transit time depends on freight destination and carrier.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance & Goods & Services Tax (GST).
• Freight access and site clearance (door width, corridor/lift access).
• Local mains plug / voltage compatibility (unit rated 115 V AC / 60 Hz).
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships palletized and boxed with protective packaging. Approx packed dimensions align with the cabinet size (~157 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~62 cm D) and weight (~98-102 kg). Ensure delivery site has a firm, level surface, sufficient doorway/entry clearance (including ~118 cm depth when door opens) and appropriate handling equipment (pallet jack or lift).
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
On delivery inspect for visible damage or delay. If damage is found: photograph the condition, retain the packaging and delivery receipt, then contact your supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the ARS12MLMCLK?
1. Place the unit on a firm, level surface with adequate clearance around the rear, sides and top for ventilation; allow for door-swing clearance (~118 cm depth).
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet rated for 115 V AC / 60 Hz.
3. Power on the unit; allow several hours for internal temperature stabilization, verify display shows ~0.6-4.4 °C.
4. Confirm alarms (high/low temp, door-open, power fault), probe port and lock mechanism function correctly before loading.
What best practices should I follow when storing breast milk?
• Use the six interior locking compartments; avoid over-packing and ensure airflow around storage bags/bottles for consistent temperature.
• Label each container clearly with date/time and owner (if required) for traceability.
• Minimize door openings and time door remains open — place frequently accessed items near front.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, hinges and locking mechanism; maintain logs of internal temperature min/max and alarm events if required by facility protocol.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature deviates outside the recommended ~0.6-4.4 °C range or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature, impacted contents.
• Relocate critical contents to validated backup refrigeration until unit stabilizes.
• Identify root cause (door left open, ambient heat load, power/sensor fault).
• Once the unit returns to normal and stabilizes, verify temperature before returning contents.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges and locking mechanism.
• Quarterly: Clean condenser coils, verify ventilation/airflow.
• Periodically: Test alarms, external probe port and remote contacts; calibrate sensors if required. Maintain service / calibration logs and temperature/alarm event records for audit readiness.
