Description
Summit Vaccine ADA Refrigerator NSF Description:
Accucold is proud to lead the industry with the largest line of cold storage product sizes certified to NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. The Pharma-Vac Performance Series supports meeting regulations and guidelines from the CDC, State Agencies, World Health Organization, and other Health Ministries on vaccine storage and handling.
The Summit ARS32PVBIADA456 Vaccine ADA Refrigerator NSF Certified is a 2.83 cu.ft. all-refrigerator with a temperature range of +2°C to +8°C. Sized at 32″ high to fit under lower counters complying with ADA guidelines for accessibility. It is designed for freestanding or recessed installation. 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, the Summit ARS32PVBIADA456 Vaccine ADA Refrigerator NSF Certified utilizes adjustable cycle defrost operation to avoid temperature spikes. Optimized forced air cooling with an internal fan to ensure excellent temperature stability and uniformity with rapid recovery after door openings. The adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves 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.
The Summit ARS32PVBIADA456 Vaccine ADA Refrigerator NSF Certified 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 right hand swing and self-closing function (note: for the door to open from the other side, add option “LHD”), 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, the ARS32PVBIADA456 provides 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 NSF 456 series at accucold.com/pharmavac.
ABOUT NSF 456: NSF/ANSI 456 is a voluntary standard introduced in 2021 that was designed to establish the performance and construction requirements for vaccine refrigeration. Models certified to this standard undergo strict testing to confirm temperatury consistency. All Accucold units approved to NSF 456 for vaccine storage are certified by an independent testing agency.

Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate exterior size: 81 cm H × 50 cm W × 57 cm D (≈ 32″ × 19.75″ × 22.6″); shipping weight ~46 kg (≈ 102 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz with a draw of around 0.75 amps. Requires a dedicated grounded outlet, level installation surface, and adequate clearance for door swing and front ventilation.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit upon delivery for visible transit damage; if transported on its side allow it to sit upright for several hours before powering; ensure the cabinet is level; maintain clear door-swing and ventilation space; test controller, alarms and probe before loading contents.
What delivery method is typical for this model?
Due to its clinical certification and size, this model typically ships via palletized freight. Ensure receiving access, stable staging area and level installation site are prepared before the unit arrives.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or pharmaceutical cold-chain storage?
Yes — the ARS32PVBIADA456 is purpose-built for vaccine cold-chain use, supports the required +2 °C to +8 °C storage range, and includes monitoring, alarm and security features aligned with healthcare protocols.
What daily best practices should be followed for operation?
Place a calibrated data logger at mid-shelf height, label and rotate inventory regularly, avoid over-packing which may restrict airflow, minimize door-open time, and record daily temperature min/max readings as part of your facility’s SOP.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser and ventilation paths at least semi-annually; verify alarm, probe and thermostat performance monthly; inspect door-gasket seal annually; ensure the unit remains level and ventilation is unobstructed for optimal performance.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the date/time, temperature deviation and affected contents; relocate items to approved backup storage if needed; identify and correct the root cause (door ajar, blocked airflow, power interruption); restore correct conditions and log corrective actions under facility protocol.
