Petite Fridge Petite Fridge Petite Fridge Users Manual ™ ™ Thermoelectric Medication Refrigerator (#18102, 18103, 18104) #18102 #18103 #18104 Important Safety Information: Read and follow all Important Safety Information: Read and follow all instructions and warnings prior to using this product. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Safety Instructions Warning: Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this user’s manual. READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Safety Precautions: When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: • This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. • The Petite Fridge should never be submerged in liquid or exposed ™ to excessive moisture. • The Petite Fridge has air vents on the bottom and on the sides.
Operating Instructions Connect the refrigerator to an approved power source as described on page 3. To connect the power cord, insert the barrel connector into the mating socket connection on the bottom of the refrigerator. Modifying the power cord, or using a cord that was not supplied by HCL, can damage the unit and jeopardize the unit’s effectiveness. To operate, simply connect the power cord and move the switch to the “ON” position. A ‘green’ LED light at the bottom of the unit indicates that the unit is “ON”. This unit has a latch handle on the front of the unit. Pull the latch to open the unit. To close the door, press the door firmly shut and the latch will lock into place. The temperature controls are preset in the unit to thermostatically maintain the unit within the USP Standard Range for Controlled Cold Temperature of 36ºF to 46ºF. The user cannot change or select the desired temperature. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to preset recommended settings. This unit will not chill items as fast as a conventional refrigerator. Please don’t expect it to do so. An empty refrigerator will cool down in about 3 hours. Warm items placed in the refrigerator will slow the cooling rate, as will the amount of items placed inside. It is recommended that pre-cooled items be placed in the unit (an item that is transferred from an already refrigerated environment). Cooling times and the rate of cooling of an item could be affected by its size/volume (i.e. the larger the total volume of an item placed in the unit, the longer it would take to cool.) Room temperature/warm items placed inside will raise the overall temperature inside the unit until they stabilize. Like a conventional refrigerator, the Petite Fridge stops cooling ™ when unplugged. It will maintain safe temperatures for a limited time of approximately 30 minutes when room temperature is at 71ºF or cooler.
Mounting Power Supply HCL recommends attaching the power supply to the wall or a surface with the provided dual lock tape. If the unit is not attached, the weight of the power supply could cause the unit to come unplugged. Peel the protective Step 1. backing from the dual lock. With one hand holding Step 3. the power supply and the other holding the remaining piece of long dual lock, position both to allow enough slack so as not pull the barrel connector out of the refrigerator. Apply the larger piece Step 2. of dual lock to the back of the Note: Wire tie the remaining wire power supply. with the provided wire ties, so it is not a trip or snag hazard.
Thermometer with Alarm The Petite Fridge ™ comes with HCL’s #10368 Traceable Memory Monitor Refrigerator Thermometer, which uses a probe sealed in a miniature bottle filled with nontoxic glycol solution. This glycol solution provides a medium that allows for a consistent measurement of temperature when used in this refrigerator and doesn’t cause fluctuations when the door is opened during normal usage. A triple display simultaneously shows high, low and current temperatures of the unit. The thermometer has an alarm that may be set in one-degree increments. An alarm sounds when the temperature rises above or below the set points of 36ºF to 46ºF or the USP Standard Range for Controlled Cold Temperature. It is important to place the probe in the refrigerator so that the wire exits the refrigerator door in one of the upper corners to the door adjacent to the top of the unit. The unit can be mounted on the wall with Velcro, dual lock or double-sided tape. See next page for proper placement & mounting of probe.

Description of Product The Petite Fridge employs a compact design. It was developed to ™ provide a convenient and affordable way to keep medicines that need to be refrigerated at USP Controlled Cold Temperature. It was also designed to meet the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) Guidelines for wall mounting of protruding objects in a health facility specifically in or near a patient’s room where overall size is para- mount. The Petite Fridge ™ utilizes thermoelectric technology to protect the integrity of its contents. Thermoelectric cooling offers superior performance in place of large refrigeration units that require a compressor for operation. The unit can be used in either a desktop or wall mount orientation. It is virtually maintenance free and runs quietly because it has only one moving part (an air intake fan). The Petite Fridge ™ works thermostatically to control the temperature and will cool as much as 35ºF (19.4ºC) below room temperature. The USP Standard Range for Controlled Cold Temperature is between 36ºF and 46ºF. The optimum room temperature range of operation is between 69ºF and 73ºF. The internal thermostat will automatically activate to keep the temperature within USP limits at the low end of the range. The user cannot change or select the desired temperature. How the Unit Works The unit cools by supplying 12V of DC current through a medium. The positive side of the medium becomes warm while the negative side becomes cold. The cold is then transferred throughout the plastic internal storage space. A hard-wired thermostat, located on the back of the unit, controls the temperature within the USP limits. The air intake fan, on the bottom of the unit, is used to bring room temperature air into the unit to cool the heat sink which is connected to the positive side of the medium. The warm exhaust air...
About Thermoelectric Cooling (How It Works) Thermoelectric technology uses an instrument called a Peltier device or a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) to create a heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other side against the temperature gradient with consumption of electrical energy. As such, the Peltier device as employed in this Petite Fridge is used for cooling. ™ Perhaps you’ve already come across this technology if you are a camper, as the Coleman company sells such a device that you can ® plug into a cigarette lighter in your vehicle. Such units are actually set up to both heat and cool. Health Care Logistics incorporated this thermoelectric technology into the Petite Fridge ™ which incorporates a special preset internal solid-state temperature switch set at 37.4ºF (3ºC). This solid-state temperature switch works thermostatically to maintain the optimum temperature range as prescribed by the USP Standard for Controlled Cold Temperature of 36ºF to 46ºF. The user cannot change or select the desired temperature. Instead of plugging the unit into your vehicle, HCL built the unit to utilize a UL-approved Medical Grade power supply that connects to a wall socket. The unit has only one moving part with a trouble-free life expectancy of up to 60,000 working hours, or over 6 ⁄ years of continuous operation. Thermoelectric technology is used by HCL here, because it has many advantages over refrigerant-based systems. It is of solid-state design with an integrated preset chip. It employs no hazardous gases and is virtually silent when running – no louder than a common computer.

HCL provides a range of mounting brackets to choose from. • Compact, lightweight and perfect for patient room applications. • Meets the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 wall mount guidelines of 4" depth. • Solid-state design; integrated chip design; silent operation; thermostatically controlled. • Provides for 2-liter storage space or 124.3 cubic inches. • Overall Dimensions: 15"L x 3 ⁄ "W x 8"H (381mm x 97mm x 203mm) Tips The unit is not frost free and will collect moisture inside. Periodically wipe the bottom surface of the inside of the unit with a paper towel to absorb the moisture. Thermoelectric cooling works via the transfer of thermal energy from one surface to another. Make sure that items are always in contact with the cooling surface or adjacent vials/bags, etc. – the key is contact. Do not utilize shelves or racks that suspend the product in the open air inside of the unit. Note: Make sure the glycol thermometer bottle is positioned in the corner per the instruction sheet on page 7 to ensure accurate readings.
Cleaning and Maintenance Caution: Unplug refrigerator before cleaning and servicing. All surfaces may be cleaned inside and out with a slightly damp, non-abrasive towel. Do not over-saturate. Towel dry all water from the inside of the refrigerator. A simple paper towel may be used. Do not use solvents, petroleum based cleaners or degreasers to clean the unit. Diluted bleach (sodium hypochlorite) wipes or isopropyl alcohol may be used to sanitize the unit. Defrosting: The unit is not considered to be frost free. Condensation commonly occurs when a water vapor reaches dew point. Water vapor will only condense onto another surface when the temperature of that surface is cooler than the water vapor. Some examples might include vials being removed from the unit and placed in a container, when the door is opened and closed and the contents are cooler than the moist air inside the unit, or during periods of high humidity when there is a difference in vial and air temperature. At times, condensation may build up on the contents of the unit which may in turn become frosted. In these situations, the unit can be turned off and wiped out. Paper towels can be used to wipe out the unit. At least once a year, blow any lint/dust or dirt from the air intake, outflow vents and outside the heat sink with canned compressed air. Use short bursts of air 4" from the unit. Lint on these parts will reduce the cooling ability of the refrigerator. Power should be turned off during vent cleaning. Vent cleaning is recommended bi-monthly when the unit is used continuously.
