Pharmacy range updated

Manufacturer of medical refrigerators Lec has updated its pharmacy range to include a number of practical and innovative features. Recognising the busy environment in which the majority of pharmacy refrigerators operate in, the enhancements aim to make the range more user-friendly than ever.

Internally, the company has introduced a wire basket, replacing the traditional plastic storage drawer. The basket is proven to improve air circulation around products stored at the bottom of the appliance, ensuring a consistent temperature and more efficient storage of vaccines and pharmaceuticals.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is not unusual for equipment such as refrigerators to be accidentally unplugged, with potentially disastrous and expensive consequences. Lec has taken a practical step in combating this with the introduction of a bright red plug, clearly marked to warn against accidental disconnection.

Finally, to encourage and facilitate best practice and compliance, all the company's pharmacy refrigerators are now supplied with a temperature monitoring record and a "quick guide". The A5-sized quick guide is affixed to the front on the appliance to provide clear and simple guidelines to using the appliance electronic controls correctly, while the monitoring record provides a straightforward way of recording minimum and maximum temperatures on a daily basis – recommended as being best practice in the Green Book Guidelines.
