Blood Fridges

A blood fridge, also known as a blood bank refrigerator, is a purpose-built item of medical refrigeration equipment used to store blood and blood products between 2°C and 6°C.

ENLAKE blood fridges are Australian made, included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), and fully compliant with Australian Standard AS 3864.1-2012.

Blood products are stored for transfusion, so the fridge has to do more than simply stay cold. It must hold the correct temperature range, record temperatures securely, and alarm if conditions move outside the required limits.

ENLAKE blood fridges are designed and tested to maintain 2°C to 6°C across the AS 3864.1-2012 ambient operating range of 10°C to 43°C. They include independent temperature control and alarm systems, temperature recording devices secure from tampering, and an electronic audit trail for manual interactions.

Before a blood fridge is used to store blood or blood products, it needs to be checked, verified and maintained in accordance with AS 3864.2-2012. Testing and calibration are carried out in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 criteria, typically through a NATA-accredited testing or calibration provider in Australia.
