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 MLRS8MCLK MomCube Breast Milk Refrigerator has four 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 self-closing, reversible door allows for flexibility in unit placement, while 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 1-888-750-3801.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical dispatch when in stock is 5-7 business days in the U.S.; actual transit time will depend on carrier and destination.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is feasible. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance & Goods & Services Tax (GST)
• Freight access: doorway width, corridor/elevator clearance, floor-loading capability
• Electrical compatibility: this model is U.S. spec 115 V AC/60 Hz — if installing in Australia (230 V/50 Hz) you must ensure correct variant or use a suitable transformer.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships palletized with protective packaging. Approx. unpacked footprint: ~127 cm H × ~59 cm W × ~62 cm D; allow door-open depth of ~118 cm. Ensure delivery site has a firm, level surface, sufficient entry/door clearance and handling equipment (pallet jack or lift) if required.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
Upon delivery inspect for visible transit damage or delay. If damage is found: photograph condition, keep packaging and delivery receipt, then contact the supplier with order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the MLRS8MCLK?
1. Place the unit upright on a firm, level surface in a climate-controlled room. Provide clearance behind, on both sides and above for ventilation; ensure the door can fully open (~118 cm) without obstruction.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the specification (115 V AC/60 Hz); if installing in Australia verify correct variant or transformer requirement.
3. Power on the unit; allow several hours (typically 3-4 h) for internal temperature stabilization before loading breast-milk or other sensitive items. Confirm the digital display shows within the recommended +2 °C to +4 °C range.
4. Verify controller/display function, audible/visual alarms (temp high/low, door-open, power loss), locker locks function and shelving is correctly positioned and airflow is unobstructed.
What best practices should I follow when storing breast milk or sensitive materials?
• Utilize the individual lockers so each user has private storage; clearly label contents (name, date/time, volume) for traceability.
• Minimize door openings and the time the door remains open—place frequently accessed items at the front to reduce ambient intrusion.
• Avoid over-packing lockers and blocking internal airflow—maintain clearance for even cooling distribution.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, handle/lock, locker condition; keep internal logs of minimum/maximum temperature and any alarm events if your facility policy requires it.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If the internal temperature rises above or falls below the safe range (+2 °C to +4 °C), or a power interruption occurs:
• Record event date/time, observed temperature, and impacted contents.
• Immediately relocate critical contents to validated backup refrigeration until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate root cause (door left open, ambient heat load, sensor/power fault).
• Once the unit returns to normal operation and internal temperature stabilizes within the correct range, verify contents are safe before returning them to storage.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges and lock mechanism for wear or damage.
• Quarterly: Clean condenser coils and ventilation pathways; ensure fans and airflow are unobstructed and dust-free.
• Periodically: Test alarms (audible/visual), remote monitoring ports (if present) and calibrate sensors if required. Maintain service/calibration logs, internal temperature logs and any alarm-event history for audit readiness.
