Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I need some help to find what type refrigerator works the best out there. We have tried several types and sizes. The most reliable has been the Koolatron. It too did fail within a year. We only carry Ativan so the fridge does not need to be large. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Most can be wired for a cigarette lighter adapter and the smaller units plug into it. They are relatively inexpensive, around 80 dollars, so they are easy to replace. Lt.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 When we began carrying Zemuron and Succs, we initially used a small aftermarket (too small for a one litre beverage) fridge from Frazierbilt, but found that it frequently made its way out of the drug's recommended temperature storage range (on the high side). This in spite of cabin thermostat setting, and placing temperature buffer bags (expired 500 saline to help stabilize the fridge temperature) in the fridge. If you keep track of the price of Rocuronium, you'll know that this can be a headache in more ways than one. We also found that the plastic handle latches were prone to breaking. We are currently using a Haier 1.8 cu ft. (model HSP02WNBWW) which retails for $50-60 http://www.haieramerica.com/products.php?pid=49. This SRP was considerably lower than that of the smaller fridge we were using. We very infrequently find that the refrigerator is outside of recommended storage range. Although we still need to have the fridges further secured/hard-mounted, we installed the Haiers a little over a year ago with no major problems or replacements since. It has proven a reliable solution. For what it's worth... Jeff Isbell Marble Falls Area EMS Ambulance refrigerators I need some help to find what type refrigerator works the best out there. We have tried several types and sizes. The most reliable has been the Koolatron. It too did fail within a year. We only carry Ativan so the fridge does not need to be large. Any suggestions? Thanks.
