Previous SEL Number: 19GN-00-RFGR

Description: Refrigerator/freezer for maintaining temperature control (cooling) for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, reagents, samples, or evidence.

ImportantFeatures: Frost-free desirable for transporting glass containers of water with evidence or samples.
May include temperature monitoring feature with capabilities similar to those described in 19GN-00-RFMN.
May use internal battery, external DC, or external AC power.

Operating Considerations: Check capability to maintain and control temperature if used for medications, vaccines or temperature-sensitive reagents. See 19GN-00-RFMN for monitoring devices that should be used for vaccines or other items with critical preservation temperatures.

In cases where combustible items may be stored, or combustible off-gassing may occur, consider products that are intrinsically safe.

Some pharmaceuticals, reagents, and evidence may require different storage temperature ranges. In some cases, separate refrigeration areas may be required to avoid cross-contamination or to meet differing storage requirements. Ability to lock and secure the unit may be needed

Voltage requirement; 12v, 24v, 110v, 220v. If not battery powered, may require generator for use in remote locations (see 10GE-00-GENR).
