Solar direct drive blood bank

VC200SDD-B

Bringing Dulas’s latest SDD innovation in cold chain refrigeration to the blood chain, the VC200SDD-B is a bespoke design suitable for storing blood products and comes with 6 dedicated blood baskets for easy stock management.

The high energy density of the PCM lining means rapid cooling, and the ability to run in cloudy, low light conditions means greater reliability than other battery-free solutions.

The VC200SDD-B is equipped with an integrated Beyond ICE3 temperature monitoring device with audible and visual alarm functions that can be activated if temperatures exceed 6 °C. It also comes with 120 day local data storage and 30 day PDF reports available via a QR code on the front of the refrigerator.

This product includes a 3 year subscription to the remote temperature monitoring Beyond ColdCloud portal which enables you to monitor your entire cold chain in one easy to use platform. With proactive alerts, you can be safe in the knowledge that you will be notified of any temperature deviations.
