Summit Appliance Accucold ARG61PVBIADA456 6cuft Vaccine Refrigerator

Description

Product Overview

The Summit Appliance Accucold ARG61PVBIADA456 is engineered specifically for medical and laboratory environments where temperature stability is non‑negotiable. With a compact footprint of 25 × 23.38 × 31.75 inches and a 6 cu ft (170 L) interior, the unit fits comfortably on a standard lab bench while offering ample storage for vials, syringes, and other temperature‑sensitive products. The exterior is finished in a clean white coating that resists fingerprints and stains, while the control panel features a subtle blue accent for easy readability.

Certified to NSF/ANSI 456, the refrigerator meets the rigorous requirements set by the CDC and the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program. The certification guarantees that the unit maintains the required temperature range of 2 °C ± 2 °C (35.6 °F ± 3.6 °F) with a rapid recovery time after door openings. A glycol‑filled temperature probe mimics the thermal mass of actual vaccine vials, delivering more accurate readings than a standard sensor.

Automatic defrost eliminates the need for manual ice removal, reducing maintenance time and preventing frost buildup that could compromise temperature uniformity. The built‑in temperature alarm instantly alerts users via audible and visual signals if the internal temperature drifts outside the preset range, allowing immediate corrective action. For added security, a password‑protected lock prevents unauthorized access, a feature especially valuable in high‑traffic pharmacy or clinic settings.

The interior shelving system combines sturdy plastic and wire components, giving users the flexibility to configure the space for a variety of container sizes. Glass‑door construction provides a clear view of contents without opening the unit, further preserving the internal environment. The unit operates on a standard 120 V power source and includes an energy‑efficient compressor that meets modern sustainability standards while delivering reliable performance.

Overall, the Accucold ARG61PVBIADA456 blends compliance, convenience, and durability, making it an ideal choice for hospitals, research labs, vaccination sites, and any facility that stores temperature‑sensitive pharmaceuticals.

Usage

Designed for continuous operation, this refrigerator excels in environments where temperature excursions can have serious consequences. In hospital pharmacies, it safeguards vaccines, insulin, and other biologics that require strict temperature control. Research laboratories rely on its consistent performance to preserve reagents, cell cultures, and diagnostic kits.

Field vaccination clinics benefit from the unit’s portability and freestanding design, allowing rapid deployment in temporary sites while maintaining compliance with storage guidelines. The password‑protected lock ensures that only authorized personnel can access the contents, reducing the risk of tampering or accidental temperature shifts.</n

Because the unit features an automatic defrost cycle, it can operate in high‑humidity climates without manual intervention. The temperature alarm integrates with existing facility monitoring systems, providing real‑time alerts to staff via audible buzzers or networked notifications.
