Follett has introduced the REF1 and REF2 medical-grade, forced-air refrigerators, which are designed to provide the consistent, stable temperatures required for critical product storage.
With a footprint measuring 19 x 20in, the refrigerator models fit easily on countertops and automated dispensing system cabinets for convenient, ergonomic access.
Equipped with a solid-state controller, heavy-duty compressor and forced-air cooling, the 1.0ft3 and 1.8ft3 refrigerators are said to provide quick pull down to temperature and consistent cooling, even with frequent door openings.
They are quiet enough to be used in noise-sensitive areas, the company added.
Follett's off-cycle defrost design provides the convenience of automatic defrost without a heated defrost cycle that could put product at risk.
An external digital display shows product temperature in F or C, making logging and temperature confirmation simple.
An integral, user-programmable high and low temperature alarm alerts staff visually and/or audibly to any temperature excursion.
Dry contacts allow remote alarming to central monitoring, and a 'sleep' function darkens the temperature display for applications where a third-party temperature display is also used.
Both the REF1 and REF2 models feature a stainless interior and exterior, epoxy-coated adjustable shelves, and heavy-duty edge-mount hinges.
Standard with locking door for product security, the door swing can be quickly field-reversed for installation flexibility.
Follett's flush door design provides compatibility with all standard automated dispensing systems.
The REF1 and REF2 support all Joint Commission standards for proper medication storage and are UL, CUL and NSF listed.
