DOMETIC HC 302 DIN medicine refrigerator
This refrigerator has been specially designed to store heat-sensitive medicines safely and in accordance with DIN 13277. Thanks to its modern compressor cooling system, it ensures a constant temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C, which is ideal for most medicinal substances. Its robust design and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for hospitals, health centers, medical practices and laboratories where a precise cooling environment is essential. Compared to similar devices, it impresses with its integrated ventilation, a potential-free contact for external alarm systems and various warning functions that ensure compliance with strict safety standards.
Precise temperature control and reliability
Temperature control plays a crucial role for sensitive medications such as adrenaline injection solutions, vaccines or antibiotics. This refrigerator has a digital display with an integrated thermometer that provides permanent information about the values inside. At the same time, if the door is opened for longer than 20 seconds, an acoustic alarm is triggered to warn users of an unwanted rise in temperature. Other protective functions include a warning signal if the temperature exceeds or falls below the minimum or maximum values and a safety device against sub-zero temperatures. The compressor itself works reliably and, in conjunction with the integrated fan, ensures an even distribution of cold.
The internal rechargeable battery, which maintains the warning signal and temperature display for around 12 hours in the event of a power failure, is particularly advantageous. This means that specialists are always informed about the current cooling capacity and can intervene in good time. This feature is invaluable, especially in clinics or pharmacies, where the storage of expensive and vital preparations must not pose a risk.
