Vaccine Refrigerator ACCUCOLD ARG18PVDL2B 18 Cu.Ft. with Data Logger

Description

Product Overview

The ACCUCOLD ARG18PVDL2B is a compact upright vaccine refrigerator designed specifically for pharmacy, laboratory, and clinical environments where temperature stability is critical. With an 18 cubic foot capacity, this unit provides ample space for a variety of vaccine vials, medication trays, and diagnostic reagents. The interior features a glass door that allows quick visual inspection without opening the unit, while a secure lock ensures that only authorized personnel can access the contents. A digital control panel with a large LED readout displays temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, giving users precise monitoring at a glance. The refrigerator incorporates an automatic defrost system that prevents ice buildup and temperature spikes, extending the life of the compressor and maintaining consistent cooling performance. A separate temperature probe simulates the temperature of stored products, offering an additional layer of assurance for compliance with CDC and VFC guidelines. The unit is built on a sturdy steel chassis with a hospital‑grade cord and a Green Dot plug, meeting rigorous safety standards for medical equipment.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of healthcare and research settings, the ARG18PVDL2B excels in environments where reliable refrigeration is non‑negotiable. In pharmacies, it provides a secure, temperature‑controlled space for vaccines, biologics, and temperature‑sensitive medications, helping staff meet vaccination schedules and inventory turnover demands. In clinical laboratories, the unit supports the storage of reagents, assay kits, and patient samples, ensuring that analytical results remain accurate and reproducible. Hospital wards and outpatient clinics can also benefit from the compact footprint, allowing the refrigerator to fit under counters or beside workstations without sacrificing performance. The four pre‑installed 3‑inch wheels with locking brakes enable effortless relocation for cleaning, maintenance, or reconfiguration of the workspace, while the compact dimensions (26 x 27.5 x 78.5 inches) make it suitable for tight spaces. The unit operates on a standard plug‑in installation, eliminating the need for complex wiring or dedicated circuits.

FAQ

What temperature range does the refrigerator maintain?

The unit is calibrated to maintain a stable temperature range of 2 °C to 8 °C (35.6 °F to 46.4 °F), which aligns with CDC recommendations for vaccine storage.

How does the automatic defrost system work?

During low‑usage periods, the refrigerator initiates a timed defrost cycle that melts any frost accumulation on the evaporator coils. The system then resumes cooling, ensuring continuous temperature stability without manual intervention.

Can I monitor temperature remotely?

Yes. The built‑in digital data logger records temperature readings that can be exported via USB or integrated with compatible remote monitoring software, allowing real‑time oversight and record‑keeping.

Is the unit suitable for storing other temperature‑sensitive items?

Absolutely. In addition to vaccines, the refrigerator is ideal for storing biologics, blood products, diagnostic reagents, and certain pharmaceuticals that require consistent refrigeration.

What maintenance is required to keep the unit operating optimally?

Regular cleaning of the interior and exterior surfaces, periodic inspection of the door seal, and verification of the temperature logger data are recommended. The automatic defrost feature reduces the need for manual ice removal, but the unit should be serviced annually by a qualified technician to ensure peak performance.
