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.
