PERFORMANCE OF ACUTEMP PXC (-15
°
C)
x
AcuTemp PXC (-15
°
C)
packs are used with frozen vaccines or other frozen payloads.
x
Used according to the instructions, the
PX1L
system will maintain vaccines/products at
or below –15°C for more than 12 hours at 24°C (75°F).
x
The hold time noted above requires the use of five
PXC (-15
°
C)
coolant packs. If three
PXC
packs are used, the temperature maintenance time is reduced.
x
As the ambient temperature increases, the hold time will decrease.
HOW TO FREEZE ACUTEMP PXC (-15°C) PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL (PCM)
x
Must be frozen in a freezer maintaining -21°C or below.
x
PXC (-15°C)
requires 48 hours at -21°C to freeze properly.
HOW TO USE PXC (-15°) PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL (PCM) WITH THE
ACUTEMP PX1L CARRYING CASE
x
Avoid deforming the physical shape or the packaging of the
PXC (-15
°
C)
.
x
Note that each
PXC (-15
°
C)
will have a pull-tab available for ease of removal/use with
the
PX1L
carry case. When placing
PXC
coolant packs in the
PX1L
carrying case, be
sure to keep the pull-tab “UP” so that the pack can be removed easily.
x
Place one frozen
PXC (-15
°
C)
on the bottom of the
PX1L
carrying case. This is the
bottom PCM layer.
x
Evenly distribute the payload on top of the first layer of PCM material with the payload
height (H) not exceeding 2.0”. (See Figure 1)
x
Place the remaining four
PXC (-15
°
C)
packs on top of the payload being careful to keep
the removal tabs “UP”.
x
In case of damage to
PXC (-15
°
C)
, clean up and disposal may be handled with common
soap and water.
