MED250GHD Medical Fridge

The MED250GHD is a 250-litre upright medical refrigerator designed for the reliable storage of vaccines, medicines, and pharmaceutical products in hospitals, pharmacies, and clinical facilities where temperature accuracy and product security are essential. With precise 2°C to 8°C temperature control and a maximum ambient operating temperature of 35°C, it is well suited to the demands of Southern African healthcare environments.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel inside and out, providing a hygienic, corrosion-resistant surface that is straightforward to clean and maintain. CFC-free high-density foam insulation supports consistent thermal performance, while fan-assisted cooling ensures even temperature distribution across the full 250-litre capacity. The interior is configured with two adjustable perforated stainless steel shelves and two pull-out perforated stainless steel shelves, offering flexible stock organisation and easy access to stored items. A UV-protected, self-closing glass door maintains cabinet temperature, shields stored contents from harmful ultraviolet light, and allows visual stock inspection without opening the unit. An external manual light switch and internal LED lighting prevent unnecessary bacterial growth from prolonged light exposure.

Temperature is managed by a digital controller with an LED display, providing clear and reliable readout at all times. Audible and visual alarms activate for high/low temperature excursions, door-open events, and a blocked condenser. Anti-freeze protection prevents accidental freezing of vaccines and temperature-sensitive medicines, reducing the risk of stock loss. A built-in voltage protector safeguards the compressor and control systems against electrical supply fluctuations common in African healthcare environments. The R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant reflects a commitment to environmentally responsible refrigeration.

A pre-fitted probe hole enables integration with independent temperature monitoring devices for cold-chain verification and pharmaceutical compliance. Backed by Minus40’s service support, with optional maintenance agreements available.

Safety

Audible and visual temperature alarms alert staff when cabinet conditions fall outside the 2°C to 8°C operating range. A door-open alarm reduces the risk of inadvertent temperature excursions, and a dirty condenser alarm supports proactive maintenance scheduling. Anti-freeze protection prevents the cabinet from reaching temperatures that could damage vaccines and biological products. Built-in voltage protection safeguards the compressor and control systems against supply fluctuations, surges, and spikes common in African healthcare environments. The lockable door restricts unauthorised access and maintains product security in shared clinical and pharmacy environments.

Temperature Control

The MED250GHD uses a digital controller with an LED display to maintain a stable temperature within the 2°C to 8°C range, with temperature accuracy of ±2°C. Fan-assisted air circulation ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the 250-litre cabinet, preventing hot and cold spots that could compromise pharmaceutical or vaccine integrity. The unit operates reliably at ambient temperatures up to 35°C, making it well suited to the thermal demands of Southern African healthcare facilities. A pre-fitted probe hole allows integration with independent temperature monitoring devices for continuous data logging and compliance verification. Automatic defrost prevents ice accumulation on the evaporator, maintaining consistent cooling performance without manual intervention.
