Summit Undercounter Medical Vaccine Freezer Description:
Accucold’s MED2 series puts the most commonly requested features into a quality line of all-refrigerators and freezers specially designed to store vaccines and other sensitive materials in medical, scientific, pharmaceutical, and laboratory institutions.
The Summit VT65MLBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Vaccine Freezer is an all-freezer sized in a convenient 24″ footprint. The front breathing design allows built-in installation under 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 VT65MLBIMED2 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 VT65MLBIMED2 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 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 VT65MLBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Vaccine Freezer features a 3.2 cu.ft. interior capacity and extra thick walls for reliable insulation. Slide-out baskets with clear plastic fronts allow users to view stored contents without exposing them to room temperature every time the door is opened. This low temperature freezer is designed to operate between -12ºC to -25ºC, an ideal temperature for certain vaccines, samples, and other sensitive medical materials. It has a flat door liner as recommended by the CDC.
All MED2 series units are assembled in the USA from domestic and imported components. The VT65MLBIMED2 can be paired with a matching all-refrigerator (FF7LBIMED2) or ordered in a lower 32″ height for use under lower ADA compliant counters (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.
NOTE: Accucold freezers are purpose-built to the support meeting the current CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines for the storage of vaccines. As referenced in the current Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit, these units incorporate several key features for stable operation. For additional temperature assurance, the CDC recommends a calibrated digital data logger (DDL), which can be added with the factory-installed option DL2B or addition of the DL2BKit accessory. Select Accucold products have been tested and certified to the new NSF 456 standard, and are now available for purchase. For additional information, contact our products specialists.

Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the VT65MLBIMED2?
1. Position the unit on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled area; allow clearance behind/above and approx. 117 cm front clearance for full door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the unit’s voltage specification.
3. Power on the unit, set the thermostat to the target −12 °C to −25 °C range, and allow 2-4 hours for internal temperature stabilization before loading sensitive items.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Load items in the slide-out drawers with spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing which may hamper recovery.
• Use the external digital display and built-in alarm rather than frequent door openings.
• Label stored items (batch number, date/time) and apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation where applicable.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, hinge/lock mechanism; ensure unit is level and interior surfaces are clean and frost-free.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature deviation and affected contents.
• Relocate critical materials to validated backup freezer storage until proper conditions are restored.
• Investigate root cause (door left ajar, ambient heat load, power or sensor failure).
• Once internal temperatures are stable in the correct range, inspect stored items for integrity before returning to normal use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; ensure unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify digital display, alarm function, and probe port.
