The Pharma-Vac Performance Series ARS32PVBIADA is a 2.83 cu. ft. upright, all-refrigerator engineered specifically for vaccines, medications, and pharmaceuticals—not adapted from household or commercial refrigeration. With an overall height of 32 inches, this unit is fully ADA-compliant, making it ideal for placement under lower countertops in pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, and outpatient facilities where accessibility and compliance matter.

A solid insulated door provides maximum thermal protection and enhanced security, making this model ideal for facilities that prioritize temperature stability over visual inventory access. The externally mounted microprocessor temperature controller minimizes door openings and helps protect vaccines from ambient temperature fluctuations.

Temperature accuracy is ensured through a buffered temperature probe housed in a glycol-filled bottle, closely simulating product temperature, while an additional air sensor maintains uniform cabinet conditions. The refrigerator operates within a precise +2°C to +8°C range, with current and min/max temperatures displayed to the nearest tenth of a degree in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Comprehensive audible and visual alarms notify staff immediately if temperatures move out of range, power is lost, the door is left open, or a sensor failure occurs. Remote alarm contacts and a ½″ probe access port allow easy integration with external monitoring and compliance systems.

Inside the cabinet, forced-air cooling with an internal fan ensures rapid temperature recovery after door openings, while adjustable cycle defrost prevents temperature spikes. Plastic-coated adjustable wire shelves (½″ increments) provide flexible storage for vaccines of various sizes. LED interior lighting improves visibility without adding heat.

Designed for demanding healthcare environments, the ARS32PVBIADA features a factory-installed antimicrobial handle infused with naturally occurring silver ions to help reduce germ spread, a self-closing, user-reversible door, and a factory-installed lock with two keys for controlled access. A hospital-grade green-dot power cord enhances safety in high-traffic clinical areas.

The unit uses energy-efficient hydrocarbon refrigerant and is fully compatible with Pyxis®, Omnicell®, and AcuDose RX® systems, ensuring seamless integration into automated medication workflows.
