The low-noise absorber technology is based on R717 and ensures whisper-quiet operation (35 dB(A)), meaning that the refrigerator can be used in areas close to patients without any problems. Thanks to the right-hand door hinge, the appliance can even be positioned in confined spaces without compromising on convenience and user-friendliness. In addition, the LED interior lighting provides a quick overview of the contents, especially during stressful work phases.
In addition to the data listed, the three plastic drawers offer flexible organisation of different types of medication. The easy-to-clean surfaces fulfil important hygiene requirements, while the thermometer on the outside provides permanent information about the internal temperature. The storage of minimum and maximum values facilitates the documentation of temperature curves, an essential aspect for quality-assured storage conditions.
Certifications and standards
The refrigerator is CE and CB certified and therefore fulfils the essential safety and quality standards for electrical appliances in the medical environment. These certifications guarantee reliable operation within the prescribed limits as well as compliant behaviour with regard to electrical safety and EMC requirements.
Application examples
This model has been specially designed for use in pharmacies, hospitals, care homes and doctors' surgeries. Safe storage of temperature-sensitive preparations is crucial there. Typical medicines that benefit from stable refrigeration temperatures include vaccines, insulin preparations and certain antibiotics:
- Vaccine storage in GP surgeries or health centres
- Storage of insulin in nursing homes for the care of diabetics
- Storage of sensitive antibiotic prescriptions in hospital wards
- Storage of hybrid medications that require constant temperatures
The integrated door lock also prevents unauthorised persons from gaining access to sensitive or prescription medicines. This security feature is essential, especially in public or communal areas, in order to comply with legal requirements.
FAQs
What temperature should be set
?
The appliance is set to a range of +2 °C to +8 °C. The exact setting is made electronically and is monitored by the external thermometer.
How loud is the operation
With a noise emission of 35 dB(A), the refrigerator operates particularly quietly. This makes it ideal for rooms where quiet is important, for example on wards or in patient rooms.
Does the refrigerator require regular maintenance?
Regular cleaning and checking of the thermostat and ventilation is advisable to ensure a permanently stable cooling temperature. It is also advisable to check the seals on the door and recognise any weak points at an early stage.
Is the appliance designed for continuous operation?
Yes, reliable cooling around the clock is ensured by the absorber mode. This cooling mechanism ensures consistent performance values without disruptive compressor fluctuations.
How does the appliance react in the event of a power failure?
If the power supply is temporarily interrupted, the internal temperature may rise slightly. To prevent this, the appliance should be reconnected to the mains as soon as possible. An optional warning system or temperature monitoring is recommended to detect deviations at an early stage.
Conclusion
The quiet operation, constant cooling temperature and integrated warning system make this speciality refrigerator an ideal solution for all facilities that require safe and reliable medication storage at an exact temperature. Thanks to various safety features such as a door lock and acoustic alarm, it fulfils high standards of hygiene and protection for sensitive preparations. In addition, the easy-care drawers and LED lighting enable efficient handling. The robust design and precise control are particularly impressive in demanding medical environments, ensuring that sensitive medicines are always optimally cooled.
