Key Features Medical Device Certification All Labcold blood banks, plasma freezers, platelet incubators and agitators are medical devices in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC and are manufactured in accordance with ISO good practice. This certification ensures that blood products are kept in optimum conditions making it easy for users to demonstrate compliance with CPA and MHRA guidelines when subject to regulatory inspections. Digital Door Locks Labcold blood banks and platelet incubators are fitted with an electronic digital door lock for total security. These digital door locks are designed to interface easily with blood tracking and audit systems, enhancing traceable operating procedures. Core Temperature Simulator Labcold blood storage equipment feature core/load simulator temperature recording. The reading from this probe is displayed in real time on the touch screen, so you can be certain that the contents are at the correct temperature. Since air temperature will vary with door openings and loading activity, it is vital to be certain that the blood stored is not adversely affected. Evidence of core temperature is also logged on an independent chart recorder. Alarm System All Labcold Blood product storage equipment features accurate alarm systems to protect the contents. All models in this range feature two temperature alarms; one for air and the other to monitor the load/core fluctuations. In addition there is also a door open alarm and a vital mains failure alarm. All the alarm systems have been designed to link easily to remote alarm systems. 4
Designed and Built in the UK Labcold only manufacture medical and scientific refrigeration. We are corporate members of BBTS and our Blood storage products are all certified medical devices in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC We also manufacture a wide range of industry leading medical fridges and freezers suitable for the storage of pharmaceuticals, reagents and biological material. Commissioning As the manufacturer of the equipment, Labcold knows exactly what is required. We have an expert team of service technicians who can commission your equipment as part of your IQ/OQ procedures. The commissioning process also includes a comprehensive training session to ensure everyone who uses the equipment can do so correctly and safely. Manufacturer Maintenance Labcold knows that proof of annual maintenance and calibration is required by the MHRA. For safe function, calibration and longevity of specialist equipment and alarms, it is cost effective to use technicians who really understand both the equipment and the demands of blood bank professionals. This is why Labcold are unique in that we not only design and manufacture the products, but also have engineers trained in house, who can maintain and service it to manufacturers, and therefore MHRA standards. New Green Technology Labcold is committed to environmental responsibility and works hard to source materials that are ozone friendly with low Global Warming Properties. For example, many of the Labcold units are insulated with Envirofoam a material made from vegetable oil, harmless to the ozone layer and with low GWP. All Labcold refrigerants are CFC and HCFC free for the same reason and to improve energy consumption only LED lights are used. Labcold endeavours, where ever possible to use only UK sourced components in order to support local industry and reduce carbon emissions. 5

Temperature Monitoring To supplement the in-built systems fitted to Labcold products we also offer a selection of temperature monitoring devices. These can be as simple as a portable logger for transport boxes up to sophisticated centralised multi-function systems. With increasing vigilance requirements from regulatory authorities it is essential to be able to prove storage temperatures at every step in the cold chain. Monitoring systems can provide a central alarm console and validated temperature records that are independent of the equipment s own recording device and are presented in a user friendly format that is easy to store and refer to. All Labcold blood storage equipment is fitted with remote contacts that activate in conjunction with the in-built alarm. This can provide a link to the hospital s own systems or external devices such as a telephone dial-out unit or remote alarm panel, both of which are available as accessories from Labcold. Key Features: Centralised Multi Channel Monitoring from 4 to 96 points Single Channel Portable Devices Data storage and analysis software (CFR21/11 compliant on some models) Temperature range from -220ºC to +100ºC Battery back up for continuous monitoring during power failures Compatible with most temperature controlled laboratory equipment On-site programming and commissioning service Optional telephone dial-out and remote alarms Monitor Max Part no.

Commissioning and Calibration Key Features: To ensure your equipment performs at its best when you receive it, all Labcold products are fully tested before despatch. For example prior to despatch our blood banks undergo a comprehensive 31-point series of tests and checks to ensure they are performing correctly, and are then run for a minimum of 72 hours. However well equipment is tested during manufacture, transport and storage conditions combined with operation in a different environment make it essential to retest and validate before putting into use. Labcold offers an extensive manufacturers commissioning service to aid with user IQ/OQ procedures. As the manufacturer Labcold is best placed, and the professional choice, to provide this service using their own experienced in-house service technicians. When you order a commissioning your Labcold technician will: Check all packaging is removed Check the condition of the cabinet Fit pen, battery and chart paper to recorder (if necessary) Check operation of the digital lock Check operation of the internal light Test alarm panel function Test high alarm both air and load Test low alarm both air and load Test door open alarm Check dual cycling of refrigeration system (where necessary) Demonstrate the safe operation of keypad and change code Demonstrate how to change between refrigeration systems (where necessary) Demonstrate how to fit new chart paper and pen (where necessary) Demonstrate how to use the touch screen display and explain functionality Ensure the equipment is functioning correctly and key functions are MHRA compliant Train your team on how to use the equipment as required Check calibration of temperature monitoring systems and issue a hard copy certificate 16
Maintenance and Service Key Features: Our engineering team are in the unique position of knowing Labcold products better than anyone else. All our engineers are employed by us and spend every working day maintaining Labcold equipment. The field engineering team are backed up by office-based technical advisors and service administrators, who can provide you with support, spare parts and information on both new and older Labcold products. Labcold blood storage equipment is a certified Medical Device and therefore should be installed and maintained in accordance with manufacturer s instructions (DB2006 Managing Medical Devices, MHRA), and where parts are fitted it is important to ensure that these are manufacturer s original items or of identical specification. Failure to adhere to these standards potentially compromises your equipment s Medical Device status. As the manufacturer of the equipment, Labcold is the professional choice to provide this service.
