Pharma 2000 Vaccine Fridge
Keep Every Vaccine Safe with the ICS Pharma 2000 Vaccine Fridge
One cold chain breach can write off a fridge full of vaccines and send you chasing patients for recalls. The Pharma 2000 vaccine fridge is built to stop that from happening.
It holds +2°C to +8°C across every shelf and warns your team early. It also slots into your joinery with only 3cm of top clearance.
Hold Every Shelf Steady with the Pharma 2000 Vaccine Fridge
Cold spots and frozen back walls put vaccines at risk. Many fridges leave you guessing which shelf is safe.
The Pharma 2000 uses a top-mounted evaporator and a Danish-engineered air distribution system. Temperature stays even from shelf to shelf, and the back wall does not freeze. Six adjustable shelves plus a raised base shelf keep stock organised.
Cut Door-Open Time with the Pharma 2000 218L Vaccine Fridge
Every extra second the door stays open risks a temperature swing. Staff lose time hunting for stock and checking readings.
A pre-programmed digital controller shows current, high and low temperatures with a simple three-button check. Alarms sound for temperature deviations and for a door left open. A startup delay stops false alarms during setup, and a locked controller keeps settings safe from accidental changes. A 24.5mm access port lets a data logger probe run into the cabinet.
Pass Your Cold Chain Audit with the Pharma 2000 Strive for 5 Vaccine Fridge
The National Vaccine Storage Guidelines 'Strive for 5', 4th edition, require a purpose-built vaccine refrigerator. Domestic and bar fridges are not acceptable.
The ICS Pharma 2000 is purpose-built and made to support Strive for 5 requirements. The manufacturer states it meets QCPP cold chain standards. Voltage-free alarm contacts connect to building alarm and BMS systems. ICS Pacific, a Melbourne company since 1982, backs it with a 3 year parts and labour warranty.
Pharma 2000 GD or Pharma 2000 SD: Which Door Suits Your Clinic?
Glass door (GD): LED lighting lets staff check stock without opening the door. It suits busy immunisation rooms.
Solid door (SD): It uses less energy, runs quieter and weighs less. It suits sunlit rooms, patient areas and sites with unreliable power.
