Labcold IntelliCold Benchtop Pharmacy Fridge, 36 Litres, Pre-Owned

This Labcold IntelliCold benchtop pharmacy fridge holds vaccines and temperature sensitive medicines inside a controlled 2 to 8 degrees C range, with a factory set point of 5 degrees C. It suits GP surgeries, community pharmacies, clinics and vaccination centres that have to hold cold chain stock and produce a temperature record for it.

The IntelliCold touch screen controller monitors two probes, one of them a 1 m wandering probe that can be placed anywhere in the cabinet, and logs temperatures automatically around the clock for transfer to a computer. The unit is supplied pre-owned and has been checked in the Elarix workshop before dispatch.

Checked before dispatch

  • Powered on and run down to the set point, then held to confirm the cabinet reaches and maintains temperature.
  • Touch screen controller, minimum and maximum display and probe readings checked.
  • High and low temperature, door open and power failure alarms triggered and observed.
  • Door seal, self-closing action, lock and internal light checked.
  • Interior and exterior cleaned, and the unit inspected for damage.

These are in-house workshop checks. Damaged or non-working items are not dispatched. A full engineer service and calibration is not included, and this item may require service and calibration. Planned maintenance, periodic electrical safety testing and ongoing maintenance under PUWER 1998 remain with the operating organisation.

Verify performance before any stock is loaded

  • Run the cabinet empty in its final position until the temperature is stable, then check the displayed reading against an independent calibrated thermometer before medicines are placed inside.
  • Accuracy of the readings used for cold chain records rests with the operating organisation, since no calibration certificate is supplied with this unit.
  • Stock is not loaded on a unit that has just been moved or tilted, and the alarms are confirmed working first.

Why a pharmacy fridge rather than a domestic one

A domestic fridge is built to keep food cold on average. It cycles well below 2 degrees C at the back of the cabinet and swings above 8 degrees C after the door is opened, and it gives no record of either. Vaccines lose potency at both ends of that swing, and a frozen vaccine is a discarded vaccine. A pharmacy fridge is built the other way round: fan assisted circulation to hold the whole interior inside a narrow band, a controller that watches the actual air the stock sits in, and a log that proves what happened overnight and at the weekend. When a batch is questioned months later, the log is the evidence.

The two probe arrangement is the part that matters most in daily use. One probe reports the cabinet, and the wandering probe is placed where the stock actually sits, in the busiest shelf or inside a glycol bottle, so the record reflects the medicine rather than the airflow. Minimum and maximum values are held and displayed, which is what a daily temperature check needs, and the alarms cover the three failures that spoil stock unnoticed: the temperature drifting, the door left ajar, and the power going off while the building is empty. Battery back-up keeps the controller and its alarms alive through a power cut, and the remote alarm contacts allow the unit to be tied into a building alarm system for out of hours cover.

Two trade-offs are worth stating. At 36 litres this is a small cabinet, sized for a treatment room or a single clinic session rather than a whole practice stock holding, and a solid door means checking stock requires opening it, which is better for light sensitive medicines but adds a warm air intrusion each time. And because the unit is pre-owned, it arrives without a calibration certificate, so the receiving organisation carries out its own verification against a calibrated reference before the readings are relied on for cold chain records. This is the wrong cabinet for frozen vaccine storage, for blood bank use, which is separately specified, and for laboratory samples that need a different range or a validated mapping report.

Key features

Flat sealed touch screen controller, presenting one continuous surface with no seams or crevices, so the panel can be cleaned and disinfected properly in a clinical room.
Two temperature probes, one reporting the cabinet and one a 1 m wandering probe placed among the stock, so the record reflects the temperature the medicines actually experience.
Minimum and maximum display, holding the extremes since the last reset, which is what a daily temperature check has to record rather than the reading at the moment somebody looks.
Automatic logging, 24 hours a day, with data transferable to a computer, so overnight and weekend performance is documented without anyone attending the cabinet.
High and low temperature alarms, sounding when the cabinet drifts outside the set band, which catches a failing seal or a blocked vent before stock is compromised.
Power failure and door open alarms, covering the two failures that otherwise pass unnoticed, since neither shows on the display when nobody is in the room.
Battery back-up for controller and alarms, keeping monitoring and alerting live through a mains interruption rather than resuming blind when power returns.
Fan assisted cooling, moving air through the cabinet to even out temperature between the top and bottom shelves, which is what prevents a cold spot freezing vaccines at the back.
Off-cycle automatic defrost, clearing frost during the compressor's natural off periods, so there is no manual defrost and no interruption to storage.
Solid self-closing lockable door, shutting itself if it is released rather than left resting open, and locking to control access to stored medicines.
Screen lock after 30 seconds, taking the controller out of the reach of an accidental touch, so settings are not changed by a passing sleeve.
Remote alarm contacts, allowing the fridge to be wired into a building alarm or an out of hours monitoring system so a night-time failure reaches somebody.
Benchtop or wall mounted installation, with brackets supplied, so a small clinical room can give the cabinet wall space instead of worktop space.
Refrigerant circuit containing no ammonia, appropriate for a cabinet installed in an occupied clinical room rather than a plant space.

Specification limited to what is confirmed

  • Model reference, refrigerant type and gas charge, electrical supply and power rating, ambient climate class, sound level and energy consumption are not confirmed for this unit and have been left out rather than estimated.
  • Internal shelf configuration, supply of a door key, and the method of downloading logged data to a computer are not confirmed.
  • Any of these can be checked against the rating label and the unit itself on request.

Condition and history

Pre-owned, in working order, previously in service and showing cosmetic marks consistent with clinical use. The photographs form part of the description and show the actual condition of the cabinet.
No service history is supplied, and no calibration certificate accompanies the unit. Where a documented calibration is needed for cold chain records, it is arranged by the operating organisation after installation.
Ongoing maintenance sits under PUWER 1998, together with periodic electrical safety testing, and remains the responsibility of the organisation operating the equipment.

Delivery, lifting and wall mounting

  • The cabinet weighs 30 kg. Two people are needed to receive it, lift it onto a bench and position it.
  • Wall mounting is carried out by a competent person, onto a wall able to carry the loaded weight of the cabinet, using fixings selected for the wall construction. Fixings are not supplied.
  • Leave the clearance around the cabinet that the manufacturer instructions require so the condenser can shed heat, and allow the unit to stand upright before it is switched on after transport.
