Infrico Medcare: High Quality Equipment for Pharmacies, Laboratories and Hospitals

In the healthcare sector, the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals and medical devices are a priority. Proper storage of drugs, vaccines and sensitive products is essential to ensure their effectiveness and avoid potential health risks to patients. For this reason, it is essential to have equipment that complies with health regulations, in particular DIN 13277, which regulates the storage and transport of pharmaceuticals and medical devices under temperature-controlled conditions. It is a standard that regulates terms, requirements and tests for refrigeration and freezing equipment for the medical sector.

Infrico Medcare, with its wide range of medical refrigeration solutions, offers equipment that complies with 13277 and exceeds expectations for quality, efficiency and sustainability. In this article, we will explore the importance of equipment for pharmacies, laboratories and hospitals, as well as the competitive advantages offered by Infrico Medcare products, including Infrico Cloud, inverter technology, dual cooling technology and the use of natural refrigerants such as R290.

The DIN 13277 Standard: Why is it Essential in the Storage of Medicines?

What is DIN 13277?

The DIN 13277 standard establishes the technical and operational requirements necessary to ensure the correct storage of pharmaceutical products that require a controlled temperature. This standard is key for pharmacies, laboratories and hospitals, as it regulates both the transport and storage of sensitive products, such as medicines and vaccines, under strictly controlled temperature conditions. It guarantees the correct functioning of the equipment, and that is what guarantees correct storage. It does not specify anything about transport, and in this case, it would not apply to us either.

Compliance with these regulations ensures that pharmaceutical products maintain their efficacy and safety, avoiding the decomposition of drugs or biological products that may be compromised by inadequate temperatures.

Infrico Medcare Equipment Features

Infrico Cloud: Remote Monitoring and Real-time Controlv

Infrico Cloud is one of the most outstanding innovations of Infrico Medcare’s products.

Infrico Medcare has developed Infrico Cloud. It is an IoT Module with a modern, simple and intuitive design, an easy to install monitoring software for refrigerators, freezers and ultrafreezers with the capacity to monitor up to ten units per module.

Furthermore, the platform can be accessed from any mobile device, tablet or PC. Therefore, this reduces costs for cloud storage, without internal infrastructure. This web-based software optimized for PC and mobile devices is not only compatible with Infrico Medcare products, but is compatible with any device that incorporates the MODBUS RTU protocol under RS485, which is a standard in this sector.

Inverter Technology: Energy Efficiency and Reliability

Inverter technology is another key feature of Infrico Medcare equipment. This technology allows the units to automatically adjust their operating speed according to the workload and external temperature conditions, resulting in significant energy savings. It is the compressor that adjusts the speed. In addition to energy savings, it provides greater stability and reduces noise.

Thanks to Inverter technology, Infrico Medcare products offer more efficient performance and greater durability, reducing equipment wear and minimizing environmental impact by consuming less energy.

Dual Cooling Technology: Flexibility and Optimal Temperature Control

Dual Cooling technology is another feature of Infrico Medcare products. Only ultras. This technology allows the use of two independent cooling circuits. In case of failure of one of them, the other one is able to maintain the temperature of the equipment at -75ºC. Thus, the units are equipped with reliable, powerful compressors, capable of fast response after door openings.

This option is ideal for environments such as hospitals and laboratories, where sensitive products such as: organs, reagents, cells, blood products or different biological products must be preserved…

R290 Natural Refrigerant: Commitment to Sustainability

Infrico Medcare is committed to the use of natural refrigerants, such as R290 (propane), in its refrigeration equipment.

R290 is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic refrigerant with a low environmental impact, which contributes to the reduction of the carbon footprint. This refrigerant offers superior energy efficiency and reduces the use of environmentally harmful chemicals.

Ultrafreezers -86 oC: Preservation of Critical Products

Infrico Medcare ultrafreezers reach temperatures from -40 ^oC to -86 ^oC, allowing the preservation of biological products, vaccines and medicines that require ultra-low temperature storage.

These ultrafreezers are ideal for research laboratories, hospitals and healthcare facilities that handle sensitive products and need to ensure their long-term preservation. In fact, they were indispensable in the fight against covid-19 and we were among the pioneers in producing this equipment with such specific and demanding needs.

Infrico Medcare ultrafreezers are reliable, efficient and feature advanced monitoring systems that ensure proper temperature at all times, protecting the integrity of stored products.

Data Logging and Additional Safety

Infrico Medcare equipment is equipped with digital controllers and digital plus controllers that record and store data related to temperature conditions and alarm history in the case of the digital plus controller.

This data logging capability is essential for audits and quality control, as it provides a detailed history of equipment performance over time.

In addition, these equipments also have alarm signals that are activated in case the temperature deviates from the established ranges, thus ensuring the protection of the stored products.

Infrico Medcare Equipment Applications in Pharmacies, Laboratories and Hospitalss

Safe Storage of Medications and Vaccines

Pharmacies need reliable refrigeration equipment to keep medicines and vaccines in optimal conditions.

Infrico Medcare’s pharmaceutical refrigerators comply with din 13277 standards and ensure the proper preservation of these products. In addition, Infrico Cloud technology allows real-time monitoring of temperature conditions, ensuring that products are always in their proper range.

Preservation of Reagents and Biological Samples

In laboratories and universities, the preservation of reagents, biological samples and other sensitive materials is crucial. Infrico Medcare freezers and ultrafreezers provide ideal conditions for storing these products.

Storage of sensitive products

In hospitals and even greenhouses, the storage and transport of medicines, vaccines and other sensitive products is a priority to ensure the safety of patients and users.

Health Care equipment in general, and blood banks in particular, and even Infrico Medcare’s ‑86 ^oC ultrafreezers ensure that sensitive products are kept in the necessary conditions. Inverter technology and R290 refrigerant ensure energy efficiency, which contributes to lower operating costs in hospitals.
