Accucold ARG2PV-CRT Countertop Room Temperature CabinetThe ARG2PV-CRT is a 1.94 cu.ft. countertop storage unit designed for stable room temperature medication storage. Pre-set to 72ºF, it offers an adjustable range of 68º to 77ºF with a microprocessor temperature controller externally located to minimize door openings. A buffered temperature probe in a glycol-filled bottle ensures accurate readings, while an additional sensor monitors air temperature for superior control. Alarms include audible and visual temperature alerts, power failure, door open, and sensor failure warnings. The interior features adjustable wire shelves, LED lighting, and white powder-coated metal construction for durability. A double-pane tempered glass door provides visibility, with a factory-installed antimicrobial handle and self-closing, user-reversible door. Optimized forced-air cooling ensures temperature uniformity, and a hospital-grade cord adds safety in high-traffic areas. With hydrocarbon refrigerant for energy efficiency, this unit is Pyxis, Omnicell, and AcuDose RX compatible, offering a reliable solution for controlled room temperature storage.
