DOMETIC HC 502 DIN medicine refrigerator
This high-quality refrigerator ensures a constant and controllable temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C, which is particularly essential for sensitive medicines. The model boasts a robust design and precise temperature control in accordance with DIN 13277 - a design that stands for particularly high reliability compared to other appliances on the market thanks to its integrated fan and numerous safety functions.
Reliable solution for sensitive cold chains
As anyone who works in a medical environment knows, maintaining the correct storage temperatures is crucial in order not to jeopardize the effectiveness of heat-sensitive medicines. This device protects the contents with integrated ventilation, which ensures continuous air circulation and therefore stable cooling conditions. An acoustic warning signal sounds if the door remains open for longer than 20 seconds, effectively preventing the interior from heating up unintentionally. In addition, the TÜV-certified lock with two keys offers maximum security to protect medicines or vaccines from unauthorized access.
The electronic thermostat maintains exactly the desired set temperature, while the integrated display reliably stores minimum and maximum values. This allows specialists in the hospital or pharmacy to track the history of the cooling data. Another advantage is the built-in LED interior lighting, which provides a quick overview of all stored preparations.
Technical features in a nutshell
- Compressor operation for precise and stable cooling
- Temperature range +2 °C to +8 °C; preset to 5 °C at the factory
- Three metal drawers on roller bearings with transparent front panel
- Right-hand door hinge and secure lock with two keys
- Digital temperature display including min/max memory
- Integrated rechargeable battery to maintain the warning signal and temperature display in the event of a power failure
- Certified according to DIN 13277, CE and CB
This means that the appliance is not only easy to operate, but also enables flexible storage of different pack sizes. The hermetically sealed cooling system works with the environmentally friendly refrigerant R600a and is characterized by quiet operation (max. 45 dB(A)). In addition, the safety device against sub-zero temperatures ensures that medicines are not accidentally cooled below the permitted range.
Standards and certifications
Of particular note is the DIN 13277 certification, which is mandatory for proper use in medical facilities. Thanks to CE and CB approval, this refrigerator is also internationally recognized and complies with all relevant safety and quality standards. A potential-free contact also enables the connection of an external alarm system so that a quick and targeted response can be made in the event of temperature deviations.
Concrete areas of application
- Hospital wards to keep temperature-critical preparations such as insulin, vaccines (e.g. against influenza or COVID-19) and antibiotics
in stock
- Outpatient clinics and emergency departments for the immediate administration of sensitive medication in acute cases
- Medical practices that rely on reliable cooling of adrenaline and hyaluronic acid ampoules
- Pharmacies and laboratories where continuous consistency of the cold chain is of great importance
The flexible metal drawers also offer clear organization and reduce the risk of mix-ups, as different active ingredients can be systematically stored separately.
Frequently asked questions
How is the correct temperature ensured?
An electronic thermostat regulates the cooling temperature, while an integrated fan ensures even distribution of the cooled air. In addition, the current temperature can be read at any time via the digital thermometer.
What happens in the event of a power failure
The device has an integrated rechargeable battery. This keeps the temperature display and the warning signal active for approx. twelve hours so that any deviations are detected immediately.
Is the door hinge interchangeable?
The model is factory-fitted with a right-sided door hinge. According to the technical data, it is not intended to be changed, which simplifies installation planning from the outset.
How loud is the appliance in operation?
With a noise emission of around 45 dB(A), it works pleasantly quietly and does not disturb patients or staff.
Conclusion
This model offers maximum safety when storing sensitive medical preparations and meets all the quality and reliability requirements of medical facilities. Thanks to compressor technology, an integrated fan and flexible drawer design, stable cold chains can be maintained even under demanding conditions. In addition, DIN conformity, certified safety standards and practical warning functions ensure carefree everyday use.
