Summit MomCube Breast Milk Refrigerator Description:
Accuold’s MOMCUBE™ is a highly reliable, hospital-grade refrigerator designed for mother’s milk storage. All MOMCUBE™ units are an ideal addition to employee wellness rooms, daycare centers, and work environments seeking to adhere to Section 4207 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They are laboratory-tested to stay within the CDC’s recommended temperature range, whereas similar dorm and residential-style units operate at temperatures that are unsuitable for breast milk storage.
Inside, the Summit MLRS12MCLK MomCube Breast Milk Refrigerator has six lockers, each with a combination lock to ensure privacy for mothers storing their milk, which can be reset or overridden as needed with included master keys. A cycle defrost system allows for little to no maintenance of the unit, while a soft LED light is included with an on/off switch for easy viewing of interior.
The MOMCUBE™ includes an LED display that allows the user to monitor and change the temperature as needed. Several alarms ensure temperature stability, and the factory-installed external door lock offers added security. 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. A hospital grade cord with ‘green dot’ plug is also included for added safety in high traffic areas.
MOMCUBE™ units of various capacity, heights, and interiors are available. Explore the entire MOMCUBE™ Series on our website or contact our sales team at 888-750-3801.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical dispatch when in stock is 5-7 business days; actual transit time depends on carrier and destination.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping can be arranged. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance & Goods & Services Tax (GST)
• Site access and clearance: check doorway width, corridor/elevator access, and floor-loading capacity
• Electrical/mains compatibility: This model is rated for **115 V AC/60 Hz** (US specification) — if installing in Australia (230 V/50 Hz) ensure you procure the correct voltage variant or supply a compatible transformer.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships palletized and boxed with protective packaging. Approx. unpacked dimensions: ~157 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~62 cm D; allow ~118 cm depth for door-open clearance. Ensure your delivery site has a firm, level surface, sufficient entry/door clearance and handling equipment (e.g., pallet jack or lift) if required.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
On delivery inspect for visible damage or signs of transit delay. If damage is found: photograph the condition, retain packaging and delivery documentation, then contact your supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the MLRS12MCLK?
1. Position the unit upright on a firm, level surface in a climate-controlled room; allow clearance behind, on both sides and above for ventilation; ensure the door can fully open (~118 cm depth) without obstruction.
2. Connect the unit to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the specification (115 V AC/60 Hz). If installing in Australia, verify correct variant or use a suitable transformer or local model.
3. Plug in and power on the unit. Allow several hours (typically 3-4 h) for internal temperature to stabilize before loading breast milk. Confirm the digital display shows the correct range (~0-4 °C / 33-40 °F) suitable for breast milk.
4. Verify the control panel and alarms (temperature high/low, door-open, power-loss) are functional, lockers operate correctly, shelving is appropriately configured and airflow is unobstructed.
What best practices should I follow when storing breast milk or sensitive materials?
• Use individual lockers so each mother has private storage space; clearly label contents (name, date/time, volume) for traceability and user compliance.
• Store frequently accessed milk near the front to minimize door-open time and reduce thermal intrusion.
• Avoid over-packing lockers or blocking internal airflow; proper ventilation ensures uniform temperature distribution.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, handle/lock mechanism and locker condition; maintain internal records of minimum/maximum temperature and any alarm events if required by your facility’s protocol.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature rises above or falls below the safe range, or if a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature, impacted contents.
• Relocate affected milk to validated backup refrigeration until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate root cause (door left open, ambient heat load, sensor/power fault).
• Once the unit returns to stable temperature range and confirms safe conditions, return contents.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges, handle/lock for wear or damage.
• Quarterly: Clean condenser coils and ventilation pathways; ensure the internal fan and airflow are unobstructed and free of dust or blockages.
• Periodically: Test audible/visual alarms, locker locks, remote alarm contacts (if present); calibrate sensors if required and maintain service/calibration logs and temperature logs for audit readiness.
