Accucold s Pharmaceutical Series features refrigeration specially designed to meet current CDC and VFC guidelines for vaccine storage, with built-in choices sized to fit under ADA compliant counters. The ACR45LSTO is an all-refrigerator sized at just under 32" high. It features a front-breathing design for built-in installation under lower ADA compliant counters, with a fully finished cabinet that also allows freestanding use. This unit is equipped with our step-to-open door pedal, allowing users to open the door without touching the handle for more hygienic use. Its sealed back allows for a better fit and easier cleanability. A hospital grade cord with a 'green dot' plug provides added safety in high traffic areas and a factory-installed keyed lock is located towards the top of the unit for convenient security. Four adjustable leveling legs allow you to raise the height for a better fit under standard countertops. For optimum temperature management, the ACR45LSTO features an external control panel, allowing users to adjust and monitor the temperature without opening the door. Additionally, it is equipped with a thermometer that displays the current, minimum, and maximum temperatures to the nearest tenth of a degree with a readout viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit (as recommended by the CDC and VFC). 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 bottle filled with glass beads and secured inside the center shelf 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 as needed. (Note: for this unit with a NIST calibrated thermometer, see the ACR45LCALSTO.) Inside, the 2.65 cu.ft. interior includes two adjustable wire shelves for optimum circulation, with one center fixed shelf to keep the temperature probe in place. The foamed-in-place cabinet and door liner affords added insulation of the interior for improved temperature stability, while an internal fan helps to evenly cool the interior from top to bottom. This model utilizes frost-free operation to minimize user maintenance. LED lighting helps to provide a clean, energy efficient view. At just under 20" wide, the ACR45LSTO is the perfect storage solution for doctors' offices, veterinary clinics, pharmacies, and similar healthcare environments. Additional purpose-built choices for vaccine storage are available in a variety of sizes. Browse the Accucold website to explore the full product line. Note: Accucold's Pharmaceutical Series refrigerators have been tested to operate within 2.5 C of the temperature set point and are intended for a wide variety of healthcare storage applications, including vaccines, specimens, pharmaceuticals, and other medical, biological, life science, and industrial materials. At this time, Accucold refrigerators have not been evaluated to the new NSF 456 standard. As referenced in the current Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit, these units incorporate microprocessor controls and forced air circulation for stable operation between 2 and 8 C. 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. For units with a +/-1 C variation, see Accucold s Performance Series.
