Accucold 18 Cu/Ft Vaccine Refrigerator NSF/ANSI 456 ARG18PV456

ARG18PV456

The Accucold 18 Cu.Ft. Upright Vaccine Refrigerator is designed for storing vaccines in compliance with the NSF/ANSI 456 storage standards. With its 18 cubic feet capacity, this refrigerator offers ample space for safe and efficient storage of vaccines, providing peace of mind for medical professionals and ensuring the potency of the vaccines.

Purpose-built design to meet CDC guidelines and certified to the NSF 456 Vaccine Storage Standard

Accucold is proud to lead the industry with the largest line of cold storage product sizes certified to NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. The Pharma-Vac Performance Series supports meeting regulations and guidelines from the CDC, State Agencies, World Health Organization, and other Health Ministries on vaccine storage and handling.

The ARG18PV456 is a 18 cu.ft. all-refrigerator with an adjustable control range from +2 to +8ºC. The microprocessor temperature controller is externally located to minimize door openings, helping to protect stored contents from ambient temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a glycol-filled bottle to better simulate temperature of the stored product, with an additional sensor that reads air temperature to ensure superior temperature control. The current and min/max temperature display is viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit to the nearest tenth of a degree. The audible and visual temperature alarm sounds if the unit's interior goes out of range. Additional alarms include a power failure alert, door open alarm, and sensor failure alarm. This unit is equipped with remote alarm contacts in the rear and a 1/2" probe port on the right side to accept additional monitoring devices. A hospital grade cord with 'green dot' plug is also included for added safety in high traffic areas.

Inside, the ARG18PV456 utilizes adjustable cycle defrost operation to avoid temperature spikes. Optimized forced air cooling with one internal fan ensures excellent temperature stability and uniformity with rapid recovery after door openings. The adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves can be positioned at 1/2" increments to accommodate virtually any sized item. We include seven shelves, more than competitor products providing to maximize interior shelving storage area. This unit includes LED internal lighting with an on/off rocker switch. The interior is constructed from white powder coated metal to ensure added durability and better temperature retention.

The ARG18PV456 comes in a white cabinet finish with a blue accented control panel and double pane tempered self-closing glass door. The factory-installed antimicrobial handle is powder-coated with naturally occurring silver ions, which help to reduce the spread of germs, allowing for a safer, cleaner user experience. This model includes a factory-installed lock and ships with two keys for staff use. Powerful magnetic gaskets ensure a positive seal. Four pre-installed 3" high casters with brakes make it easier to move as needed.

Designed with hydrocarbon refrigerant, the ARG18PV456 provides an energy efficient solution to vaccine storage. This unit is Pyxis, Omnicell, and AcuDose RX compatible. Additional sizes, as well as solid door options, are also available. Explore the full Pharma-Vac NSF 456 series at accucold.com/pharmavac.

ABOUT NSF 456: NSF/ANSI 456 is a voluntary standard introduced in 2021 that was designed to establish the performance and construction requirements for vaccine refrigeration. Models certified to this standard undergo strict testing to confirm temperatury consistency. All Accucold units approved to NSF 456 for vaccine storage are certified by an independent testing agency.
