The HemaCool™ will perform in either COOL or FREEZE mode.
•
In COOL mode (+4.0°) the unit -- provided its two internal 20 amp-hour batteries
are properly charged -- will maintain a temperature range of 1°C to 6°C (34°F to
43°F) for more than 24 hours, at +24°C ambient temperature (75°F).
•
In FREEZE mode (-22° ) the unit – provided its two internal 20 amp-hour
batteries are properly charged – will keep blood products frozen for more than
eight hours, at an ambient temperature of +24°C (75°F). (This colder operation
does, however, reduce the battery-powered hold time. See specifications at the
end of this document.)
For additional payload security, the
HemaCool™
is also equipped with an internal
heater that will prevent refrigerated payload from freezing if the unit is in an
environment that is below 1°C (34°F), but no lower than –20°C (-4°F).
NOTE:
The standard default temperature scale setting for the
HemaCool™
is
Celsius (°C). The unit may be special ordered to display temperature in the
Fahrenheit (°F) scale.
