MED1000GHD Medical Fridge

The MED1000GHD is a 1000-litre double-door upright medical refrigerator designed for high-volume pharmaceutical and clinical storage in hospitals, pharmacies, and research facilities where large-scale cold-chain management and advanced temperature monitoring are required. With a precise 2°C to 8°C temperature range and a Bluetooth-enabled controller offering up to 30 days of exportable temperature records, it combines serious storage capacity with digital compliance capability.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel inside and out, built to withstand the rigours of high-traffic clinical environments while meeting the hygiene standards required for pharmaceutical storage. CFC-free high-density foam insulation maintains thermal efficiency, while fan-assisted cooling ensures consistent temperature distribution across all ten storage positions. Six adjustable perforated stainless steel shelves and four fixed pull-out drawers provide versatile storage for different container sizes, with the drawers offering particularly convenient access to frequently retrieved items at the base of the cabinet. Two UV-protected, self-closing glass doors allow visual stock inspection, protect contents from ultraviolet light, and support secure access through independent lockable handles. Four castor wheels — two with brakes — provide mobility for repositioning as operational needs change.

The Bluetooth-enabled digital controller with LED display allows clinical staff to monitor live cabinet temperature and download temperature records directly to a mobile device via a companion app. The controller logs data at 20-minute intervals, retains up to 30 days of temperature and alarm history, and supports data export via email, WhatsApp, and SMS for compliance and audit purposes. Password protection secures controller settings against unauthorised adjustment. Audible and visual alarms activate for high/low temperature excursions, door-open events, a blocked condenser, and high/low voltage conditions. Anti-freeze protection prevents accidental freezing of vaccines and temperature-sensitive medicines.

A built-in voltage protector safeguards the compressor and control systems against electrical supply fluctuations. The R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant supports environmentally responsible operation. A pre-fitted probe hole enables integration with independent temperature monitoring devices for additional compliance assurance. Backed by Minus40’s service support, with optional maintenance agreements available.

• Castor wheels (2 with brakes) for mobility and repositioning within clinical environments

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. A high/low voltage alarm provides an additional layer of protection against electrical supply irregularities. 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 glass doors restrict unauthorised access and maintain product security across both door panels.

Temperature Control

The MED1000GHD uses a Bluetooth-enabled 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 1000-litre cabinet, preventing hot and cold spots that could compromise pharmaceutical or vaccine integrity. The controller logs temperature data at 20-minute intervals and retains up to 30 days of temperature and alarm history, with export available via email, WhatsApp, and SMS — supporting cold-chain compliance, audit trails, and regulatory documentation. Live temperature data is accessible through a companion mobile app when connected. The unit operates at ambient temperatures up to 32°C. Automatic defrost prevents ice accumulation on the evaporator, maintaining consistent cooling performance without manual intervention.
