The Pharma-Vac Performance Series ARG31PVBIADA is a 2.83 cu. ft. upright all-refrigerator engineered specifically for vaccine, medication, and pharmaceutical storage—not adapted from household refrigeration. With a cabinet height of 32 inches, it is fully ADA-compliant and designed for freestanding or recessed installation beneath lower countertops, making it ideal for accessible workspaces without sacrificing storage capacity.

Temperature stability is controlled by an externally mounted microprocessor controller, reducing door openings and protecting vaccines from ambient temperature exposure. A buffered temperature probe housed in a glycol-filled bottle accurately simulates product temperature, while an additional air sensor ensures superior cabinet uniformity.

The unit maintains a +2°C to +8°C range, with current and min/max temperatures displayed to the nearest tenth of a degree in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Audible and visual alarms immediately alert staff to out-of-range conditions, power failures, door openings, or sensor issues—critical safeguards for vaccine integrity.

Inside, forced-air cooling with an internal fan provides rapid recovery after door openings, while adjustable cycle defrost operation minimizes temperature spikes. Plastic-coated adjustable wire shelves (½″ increments) allow flexible organization for vaccines of varying sizes. LED interior lighting enhances visibility without introducing excess heat.

Built for clinical environments, the ARG31PVBIADA features a double-pane tempered glass door for instant inventory checks, a factory-installed antimicrobial handle infused with silver ions to help reduce germ transmission, and a self-closing, user-reversible door with a factory-installed lock for controlled access. A hospital-grade “green dot” power cord, remote alarm contacts, and a ½″ probe port support external monitoring systems and compliance documentation.

Using energy-efficient hydrocarbon refrigerant, this refrigerator supports sustainability initiatives while delivering reliable performance. The unit is fully compatible with Pyxis®, Omnicell®, and AcuDose RX® systems, ensuring seamless integration into automated medication workflows.
