Summit Compact General Purpose Medical Freezer Description:
Summit FS24LPLUS2 Compact General Purpose Medical Freezer Accucold’s PLUS2 Series come specially featured for use doctors’ offices, medical clinics, nursing stations, and other general purpose facilities that require more temperature assurance than a standard refrigeration unit provides.
The Summit FS24LPLUS2 Compact General Purpose Medical Freezer is a compact all-freezer designed to fit easily on top of counters. It comes in a white exterior finish. The door includes a factory-installed lock and a traceable thermometer calibrated to NIST standards in our ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory. It displays the current, minimum, and maximum temperature to the nearest tenth degree viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The buffered temperature probe is stored in a glycol-filled bottle to ensure the temperature reading best reflects the temperature of other stored freezer contents.
Inside, the Summit FS24LPLUS2 Compact General Purpose Medical Freezer offers a 1.4 cu.ft. capacity. Manual defrost utilizes static cooling to help improve temperature stability. A removable wire shelf offers storage convenience and the flat door liner conforms with the CDC’s guidelines for vaccine storage. The seamless interior liner helps to simplify cleanup.

Product FAQ
What is the FS24LPLUS2 and what is it used for?
The FS24LPLUS2 is a compact 1.4 cu ft (~40 L) medical-grade under-counter freezer designed for general-purpose medical and laboratory storage. It features manual defrost, a secured lock, NIST-calibrated thermometer with high/low readout, and is capable of reaching approximately –20 °C for sensitive storage.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 1.4 cu ft (~40 L).
• External dimensions: ~51 cm H × ~47 cm W × ~45 cm D; door-open depth approx. ~88 cm.
• Defrost type: Manual static cooling for improved temperature stability.
• Temperature capability: Capable of ~–20 °C for specific items.
• Features: Factory-installed keyed lock, NIST-calibrated thermometer display (current/high-low, °C/°F), buffered probe in glycol bottle, removable wire shelf.
• Electrical (US version): 115 V AC / 60 Hz, approx. 0.8–1.0 amps.
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Keyed door lock for secure access.
– NIST-calibrated thermometer with high/low readouts for accurate monitoring.
– Buffered probe in glycol bottle to simulate stored-item temperature, not just air.
– Flat door liner and seamless one-piece interior liner for cleaning and compliance to guidelines.
– Magnetic gasket and insulated cabinet to help maintain uniform conditions.
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for clinical labs, pharmacies, specimen rooms, nursing stations or small medical facilities requiring compact freezer storage. Not intended for ultra-low (≤ –80 °C) or high-volume cold-storage without further validation.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical lead time is 3–5 business days when the unit is in stock.
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 corridors/elevators/doorways can accommodate ~47 cm width × ~45 cm depth and allow ~88 cm front clearance for full door opening.
• Electrical compatibility: U.S. model is 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia (230 V / 50 Hz) you must order the correct 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; unpacked footprint approx. ~51 cm H × ~47 cm W × ~45 cm D; door-open depth ~88 cm. Ensure delivery path is level, firm and unobstructed.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
On delivery inspect outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any damage, retain packaging and delivery receipt, and contact your supplier promptly with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the FS24LPLUS2?
1. Place the unit on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled room; allow clearance behind/top and approx. 88 cm front for full door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the variant’s voltage.
3. Power the unit, set the thermostat within the desired freezer range, and allow 2–4 hours for temperature stabilization before loading sensitive materials.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Load items on the wire shelf with sufficient spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing.
• Minimize door-open time; use the thermometer readout rather than frequent checks to reduce internal fluctuation.
• Label stored items (batch number, date/time) and apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation if relevant.
• Periodically inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; ensure the unit remains level and interior surfaces are clean.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature rises above or falls below the expected freezer range, or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time and observed temperature deviation and impacted contents.
• Transfer critical items to validated backup freezer space until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate the cause (door ajar, ambient heat load, power/sensor fault).
• Once internal temperature returns to the acceptable range and stabilizes, verify stored items for integrity before resuming standard use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; ensure unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify thermometer/alarm function and check the buffered probe if fitted.
• Periodically: Review any logged temperature data (if monitoring installed), confirm calibration of any external monitoring equipment, and keep documented maintenance/service records for compliance.
