• NSF/ANSI 456 Certi�cation: Independently veri�ed to meet the
most rigorous industry standards for vaccine storage.
• Maximized Storage E�ciency: Unlike conventional units that
rely on bulky airflow shelves, these refrigerators maximize
usable space without compromising performance.
BEFORE & AFTER: THE IMPACT OF STANDARDIZED
VACCINE REFRIGERATION
Before upgrading to NSF-certi�ed refrigeration:
• Temperature fluctuations led to spoilage rates as high as 5% per month.
• Frequent excursions required constant manual adjustments by
pharmacy staff.
• Regulatory compliance was a persistent concern, requiring
extensive documentation.
After the transition:
• Spoilage rates dropped to near-zero, preserving valuable vaccine inventory.
• Temperature excursions were eliminated, giving pharmacy staff con�dence
in storage conditions.
• Compliance exceeded regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of
failed inspections.
BEYOND COMPLIANCE: THE LONG-TERM BENEFITS
In addition to reducing waste and improving vaccine safety, the pharmacy chain
discovered several unexpected advantages:
• Quieter Operation: Reduced noise levels enhance the work environment
for pharmacy staff.
• Standardized Maintenance: Biomedical staff can now service all
refrigeration units ef�ciently, reducing downtime.
• Improved Work�ow: Staff no longer worry about adjusting temperatures
or checking for excursions, allowing them to focus on patient care.

“
Since switching to the
NSF-certifed units,
we have experienced
zero temperature
excursions, even during
peak usage periods.”
Our refrigerators
are often packed to
capacity, but internal
temperatures remain
stable throughout.
It’s a game changer.”
