Summit Undercounter Medical Refrigerator Description:
Summit FF7LWBIMED2ADA Undercounter Medical Refrigerator puts the most commonly requested features into a quality line of all-refrigerators specially designed to store vaccines and other sensitive materials in medical, scientific, pharmaceutical, and laboratory institutions.
The Summit FF7LWBIMED2ADA Undercounter Medical Refrigerator is an all-refrigerator sized in a convenient 24″ footprint and 32″ height. The front breathing design allows built-in installation under lower ADA compliant counters, while the fully finished cabinet in white also enables freestanding use. This unit is designed with an external front control panel that allows users to adjust and monitor the temperature without opening the door or bending down to the floor. The front keyed lock is located towards the top of the door for added convenience. A hospital grade ‘green dot’ cord offers added safety in high traffic environments.
As recommended by the CDC and VFC programs, the Summit FF7LWBIMED2ADA Undercounter Medical Refrigerator is equipped with a NIST calibrated thermometer that displays the current, minimum, and maximum temperatures to the nearest tenth of a degree with a readout viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Each Summit FF7LWBIMED2ADA Undercounter Medical Refrigerator ships with a certificate of calibration for your records. The thermometer includes an audible alarm to warn users if the interior has gone out of the programmed temperature range. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a glycol-filled bottle and secured inside the center shelf to best simulate the temperature of other stored contents, resulting in the utmost accuracy for temperature reporting. We include a pre-installed 3/8″ probe hole for users who wish to install additional monitoring equipment.
The Summit FF7LWBIMED2ADA Undercounter Medical Refrigerator generous 5.5 cu.ft. interior capacity includes adjustable wire shelves for optimum circulation, with one center fixed shelf to keep the temperature probe in place. The flat door liner offers deeper storage space, holding trays up to 19 1/2″ x 16.” This unit includes an energy efficient LED interior light on an on/off rocker switch for added visibility. An internal fan ensures the interior is evenly cooled from top to bottom.
All MED2 series units are assembled in the USA from domestic and imported components. The Summit FF7LWBIMED2ADA Undercounter Medical Refrigerator can be paired with a matching low temperature all-freezer (VT65MLBIMED2ADA). This unit can also be customized with additional features, including a self-closing door or USB temperature logger with a digital display. Contact our product specialists to learn more. Products in the MED2 series come with a two year warranty on parts and labor and a five year warranty on the compressor.
*NOTE: This unit’s thermostat is pre-set for Celsius. If you prefer Fahrenheit, add complimentary option DTMEDF or let your sales representative know upon order.

Product FAQ
What is the FF7LWBIMED2ADA and what is it used for?
The FF7LWBIMED2ADA is a 5.5 cu ft (~156 L) built-in all-refrigerator designed for medical, pharmaceutical or vaccine-storage applications. It is ADA-compliant height (~81 cm), includes an automatic defrost system, NIST-calibrated digital thermometer with high/low readouts and audible alarm, a factory-installed keyed lock, and is built for stable +2 °C to +8 °C storage in clinical settings.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 5.5 cu ft (~156 L).
• External dimensions: approx. 81 cm H × 60 cm W × 60 cm D; door-open depth approx. 116 cm.
• Temperature range: +2 °C to +8 °C.
• Defrost type: Automatic.
• Door: Solid finish with factory-installed keyed lock; user-reversible door swing.
• Monitoring: NIST-calibrated display including current, high and low interior temperature readouts; hydrogen-filled glycol probe bottle simulating contents temperature; 3/8″ access port for external monitoring.
• Electrical (U.S. version): 115 V AC / 60 Hz; approx. 1.4 amps.
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Keyed lock for secure access.
– Auditable high/low temperature alarm built into the digital thermostat.
– Buffered probe in a glycol bottle to represent contents temperature instead of air temperature.
– Magnetic door gasket and foamed-in-place insulation for uniform internal conditions.
– Hospital-grade power cord and plug for safety.
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for vaccine clinics, pharmacy cold-rooms, medical labs or healthcare facilities where compact under-counter or built-in refrigeration between +2 °C and +8 °C is required and compliance to monitoring, locking and ADA-height installation is needed. Not designed for ultra-low (≤ -20 °C) or frozen-storage applications unless validated separately.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Lead time is typically 5–7 business days when the unit is in stock and ready to ship.
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 and GST.
• Site access: ensure doorways, lifts or corridors can accommodate approx. 60 cm width × 60 cm depth and allow ~116 cm clearance in front for full door swing.
• Electrical compatibility: The standard U.S. model is 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia (230 V / 50 Hz) you must order the correct export variant or use a certified step-down transformer installed by a licensed electrician.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships boxed and palletized; approximate unpacked footprint ~81 cm H × ~60 cm W × ~60 cm D; door-open depth ~116 cm. Ensure the delivery path is level, firm and clear from vehicle to install location.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
On delivery inspect outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any issues, retain packaging and delivery receipt, then contact your supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange a replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the FF7LWBIMED2ADA?
1. Position the unit on a firm, level indoor surface (or under-counter built-in space) within a climate-controlled room; leave rear/top ventilation clearance and approx. 116 cm front clearance for door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the ordered variant’s voltage.
3. Power the unit, set the controller to the target +2 °C to +8 °C range, and allow 4–6 hours for internal temperature stabilization before loading sensitive contents.
What best practices should I follow when using this refrigerator?
• Store items on adjustable wire shelves with spacing for airflow; avoid overcrowding.
• Label contents with batch number and date/time; use first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation where required.
• Minimize door-open occasions; rely on the external digital display or monitoring port for verification.
• Regularly inspect and maintain door gasket/seal, hinges, lock mechanism; ensure unit remains level and clean interior surfaces.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature deviates outside the +2 °C to +8 °C range or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature and impacted contents.
• Relocate critical contents to validated backup refrigeration until the unit recovers.
• Investigate the cause (door ajar, ambient heat load, power/sensor fault).
• Once temperature stabilizes within range, inspect contents for integrity before resumption of standard use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal integrity, hinges/lock operation; confirm unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; inspect ventilation path, fans, and digital display/alarm function.
• Periodically: Review any logged temperature data (if monitoring-enabled), confirm calibration of external monitoring equipment, and maintain documented servicing/maintenance records for audit-compliance.
