Description

As a leading global manufacturer, POL-EKO plays a critical role in the National Vaccination Program by providing the specialized equipment necessary to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Their medical-grade units are designed to meet the rigorous safety and documentation standards required for storing sensitive vaccines, including those from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.A Specialized Tiered Approach to Cooling:Pharmaceutical & Laboratory Refrigerators ($0^{circ}C dots +15^{circ}C$): Ideal for standard vaccine storage and items requiring precise refrigeration without the risk of freezing.Laboratory Freezers ($-40^{circ}C dots 0^{circ}C$): Designed for frozen storage and pre-freezing tasks, ensuring sample stability over extended periods.Ultra-Low Freezers ($-85^{circ}C dots -50^{circ}C$): The flagship solution for mRNA vaccines (like Pfizer), utilizing high-performance insulation and cascade cooling to maintain extreme sub-zero environments.Key Features for Medical Reliability:Advanced Monitoring: All devices are equipped with modern color touchscreen controllers and integrated data loggers. This allows for real-time temperature tracking and the historical documentation required for health department audits and vaccine efficacy verification.Quality & Calibration: Manufactured under ISO 9001 certification, every unit is supported by POL-EKO?s accredited measurement laboratory. This ensures that every refrigerator and freezer is calibrated to precise NIST-traceable standards for maximum reliability.Operational Integrity: Designed for high-stakes environments like research wholesalers, logistics centers, and hospitals, these units prioritize temperature uniformity and rapid recovery after door openings to protect the integrity of the vaccine doses.POL-EKO is committed to the “grand pandemic fight,” utilizing 100% of its production capacity to ensure that vaccination points are equipped with the most modern, safe, and efficient cooling technology available today.

Specifications

Medical Refrigerator for COVID-19 Vaccine Storage Specifications

Medical refrigerators used for COVID-19 vaccines (such as Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Janssen) must meet “pharmaceutical grade” or “medical grade” standards. These units are specifically designed to prevent accidental freezing and ensure high temperature stability.

Technical Performance

  • Operating Temperature Range: +2°C to +8°C (Ideal set point: +5°C)

  • Temperature Fluctuation: ≤ ±1°C to ±2°C

  • Temperature Uniformity: ±1°C throughout the entire chamber

  • Recovery Time: Rapid temperature recovery (typically < 10 minutes) after door openings

  • Defrost Type: Forced-air with automatic “frost-free” cycles (prevents ice buildup without warming vaccines)

  • Climate Class: SN/T (designed to operate in ambient temperatures from +10°C up to +43°C)

Monitoring & Alarm Systems

  • Digital Data Logger (DDL): Continuous monitoring with recording intervals of at least every 15 minutes

  • Temperature Accuracy (Monitoring): ±0.5°C

  • Memory Capacity: Minimum 4,000 readings (does not overwrite data)

  • Visual/Audible Alarms: Alerts for high/low temperature, power failure, door ajar, and sensor error

  • Remote Alarm Interface: Potential for connection to central monitoring systems (BMS) or SMS alerts

Physical & Material Build

  • Door Type: Solid door (high insulation) or double-pane tempered glass (UV protected)

  • Interior Material: Easy-to-clean, non-corrosive materials (ABS plastic or Stainless Steel)

  • Insulation: High-density CFC-free polyurethane foam (at least 50mm–80mm thick)

  • Air Circulation: Forced-air fan system for consistent horizontal or vertical airflow

  • Security: Key-lock or electronic password-protected access

  • Shelving: Adjustable wire shelves or drawers designed for airflow (no “dead zones”)

Electrical & Power Safety

  • Voltage: 110V/120V or 220V/230V, 50/60 Hz

  • Battery Backup: Integrated backup battery for the controller and alarm system (typically 48–72 hours)

  • Holdover Time: Ability to maintain temperatures below +8°C for at least 4 hours during a total power failure

Prohibited Features (CDC/WHO Guidelines)

  • No Dormitory/Bar-Style Units: Small units with an internal freezer plate are prohibited due to high freezing risk.

  • No Household Units: Standard home refrigerators are discouraged as they cannot guarantee the uniformity required for mRNA-based vaccines.
