In the medical industry, maintaining the precise temperature range for refrigerated vaccines is not just important—it’s critical. While some fluctuations in temperature are inevitable, what matters most is that these fluctuations remain within the safe range of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Any deviation outside of this range can compromise the efficacy of these life-saving materials. That’s why at PSS, we’ve integrated a UPS system directly into our Vacc-Safe PowerGuard Fridge, ensuring that your vaccines remain safe, even in the event of a power failure. But we didn’t just stop at design; we rigorously tested our fridge to confirm its reliability. Here’s what we found.

Testing Overview

Our energy tests began with the Vacc-Safe PowerGuard Fridge at room temperature. Over a controlled period, we monitored its energy consumption as the fridge brought its internal environment down to the crucial range of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. This phase is particularly important because it simulates real-world conditions where the fridge might be operating for the first time or after an extended period of being offline.

Maintaining the Perfect Temperature

Once the fridge reached the target temperature range, we allowed it to stabilize. To assess its performance under realistic conditions, we introduced a common but significant variable—opening the fridge door. At the end of the testing period, just before 8 AM, we opened the door to observe how the fridge responded in terms of energy consumption and temperature fluctuation.

Our tests specifically measured how much energy was required to maintain temperature stability after this disruption. The results were promising: even with the door being opened, the integrated UPS ensured that the fridge continued to operate smoothly, with only a minimal increase in energy consumption, and crucially, the internal temperature remained within the safe range.

Reliable Performance

Throughout the entire test, from the fridge’s initial cooling phase to the final door opening, the Vacc-Safe PowerGuard Fridge demonstrated exceptional stability. The integrated UPS system provided a seamless transition during simulated power interruptions, ensuring that the fridge’s internal temperature remained within the safe range at all times.

Why This Matters

In the healthcare industry, maintaining the correct temperature range can have serious consequences. Vaccines and other temperature-sensitive materials must be stored within strict parameters to maintain their effectiveness. The Vacc-Safe PowerGuard Fridge, equipped with an integrated UPS, not only meets but exceeds these requirements, offering peace of mind to healthcare providers.

Our energy testing confirms that this fridge is not just another piece of equipment—it’s a critical part of your vaccine storage strategy. When every degree within the safe range matters, trust Vacc-Safe to keep your materials protected.

When building a high physical support house, ensuring a reliable battery backup system is critical. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems in these homes are essential to guarantee that vital devices such as medical equipment, emergency doors, and communication systems continue to function during power outages. For NDIS high physical support homes, this reliability can mean the difference between safety and disaster.

The Role of UPS Systems in NDIS Homes

Power disruptions are more than just inconveniences in NDIS high physical support homes; they can lead to equipment failure, data loss, and even compromise the safety and well-being of residents. Critical devices such as ventilators, communication systems, and monitoring equipment require a continuous power supply to function properly. Any interruption can have severe consequences.

UPS systems provide a reliable and immediate solution to these challenges. They act as a safety net, kicking in the moment a power disruption occurs, ensuring that all essential devices and systems remain operational. This uninterrupted power supply is crucial for maintaining the standard of care and support that NDIS high physical support homes promise to their residents.

Key Benefits of UPS Battery Backup for NDIS Homes

1. Continuous Power Supply: UPS systems ensure that there is no gap in power supply, keeping essential medical and operational equipment running seamlessly.
2. Protection Against Power Surges: They safeguard sensitive equipment from power surges and spikes, which can cause damage and result in expensive repairs or replacements.
3. Enhanced Safety: With UPS systems in place, safety devices like emergency lighting, alarms, and security cameras remain functional during power outages, providing a secure environment for residents and staff.
4. Handling Induction Loads: PSS UPS systems are designed to handle induction loads, making them ideal for equipment such as emergency doors and other inductive devices that are critical in NDIS high physical support homes.

Why Invest in a UPS System for NDIS High Physical Support Homes?

• Reliability: A UPS system guarantees that power interruptions do not affect the reliability of the care provided. This is particularly vital in homes where residents depend on life-sustaining equipment.
• Cost Efficiency: By preventing damage to expensive medical equipment and avoiding data loss, UPS systems can save NDIS homes significant costs related to repairs, replacements, and downtime.
• Peace of Mind: Families and staff can rest assured that the facility is well-prepared for power outages, ensuring that the residents’ well-being is never compromised.
• Regulatory Compliance: Implementing UPS systems helps NDIS homes meet stringent regulatory standards, demonstrating their commitment to providing safe and reliable care.

In today’s world, environmental sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility that businesses must embrace. At PSS, we take this responsibility seriously, striving to minimize our environmental footprint at every opportunity. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

Transitioning to Eco-Friendly Packaging

We’re constantly striving to improve our environmental practices, which is why we’re excited to announce our transition to eco-friendly boxes. Our new packaging features cardboard materials instead of glossy plastics, reducing waste and making it easier for customers to recycle. It’s a small change with a big impact—one that reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability. Below is how we are managing this with our various brands:

UPS Packaging

One of the first steps we’ve taken is to rethink our packaging materials. Our UPS units now come with minimal to no plastic packaging. By minimising plastic usage, we’re not only reducing waste but also lessening our dependence on non-biodegradable materials. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.

Foam-Free Racks

In addition to reducing plastic, we’re also committed to eliminating unnecessary packaging materials. The majority of our racks now come with foam-free packaging, ensuring that we’re not contributing to the proliferation of foam waste. It’s a small change that aligns with our larger sustainability goals.

Patriot Power Supplies by PSS Distributors

is also making strides in sustainable packaging. We’re proud to announce that most Patriot power supplies are now shipped in recyclable packaging, and we are committed to transitioning the remaining products to fully recyclable packaging by the end of 2025. This initiative underscores our dedication to reducing environmental impact across all brands.

All UPS, Redback racks and patriot power supplies that have already moved towards fully recyclable packaging come labeled to assist all staff in making he right choices when disposing of packaging
