Medical Fridges

Fridges for Cold-Storage Medication

The medical fridge provides reliable cooling and best possible temperature consistency for medicine and vaccines of all kinds that need to be stored at low temperatures. Contrary to common refrigerators, medical refrigerators are often outfitted with special functions that should prevent critical storage temperature discrepancies.

They are separated by various shelves and drawers to clearly arrange stored pharmaceuticals. At Praxisdienst, we offer a large assortment of fridges from renowned manufacturers, such as Dometic, Kirsch and Labcold.

Special Functions for Temperature Consistency

The power loss or open door alarm is an indispensable component since the inside temperature of the medical fridge can quickly increase so high that the refrigerated medications can no longer be used, especially during summer.

Storage of the highest and lowest temperatures is part of quality management and should ensure that the cold-storage products inside the fridge will never be stored over or under the optimal temperature and that there will be no temperature deviations.

Many medical fridges are equipped with a locking door to prevent unauthorised access to the sensitive medications and expensive vaccines.

Depending upon the manufacturer and model, the door hinge can be varied. Countless devices already have automatic defrosting or circulation cooling to prevent freezing.

Spark Free Medical Fridges for Highly Flammable Materials

Specially designed for storing highly flammable materials, there are spark free fridges that have no sparking components inside, thus providing no risk of accidental ignition of flammable materials. This is generally the case for special laboratory fridges that are not filled with drugs, but rather with liquids and substances to be used in the laboratory. If you have any questions about these fridges or want to purchase one, just contact us.

DIN 58345 Regulates the Requirements for Medical Refrigerators

To ensure a medical refrigerator is suitable for use in clinics or pharmacies, it is recommended to choose a model that complies with the DIN 58345 standard.

This DIN standard specifies, among other requirements, that the refrigerator must maintain an operating temperature between +2°C and +8°C, have a lockable door, and include a safety mechanism to prevent freezing. In addition, medical refrigerators must provide audible and visual alarms in the event of a power failure or any deviation from the required storage temperature.

The pharmacy fridge from Labcold, for example, has a lockable door, a disinfectable IntelliCold® touchscreen control panel and data recording for optimal protection of the refrigerated supplies.

If you want a clear overview over the fridge's contents even when closed, you can also purchase the Liebherr MKUv 1613 medical fridge with glass door. Its efficient cooling system and 40mm thick insulation guarantee low energy consumption.

Medication Storage

Proper storage of medications is essential to ensure their effectiveness and safety. Medications must be kept under controlled conditions, including the correct temperature and protection from light, moisture, and contamination. Secure storage is also important to prevent unauthorised access. Following these guidelines helps maintain the quality of medications and supports safe use in clinics, pharmacies, and laboratories.
