Frequently Asked Questions
What volume of whole blood does a 1,008 L refrigerator support?
At roughly 500 units of whole blood, a 1,008 L refrigerator suits large regional blood centers and hospitals serving 500+ bed facilities.
Why does 0.1°C resolution matter for whole blood storage at 4°C?
Whole blood viability degrades sharply above 6°C or below 2°C; 0.1°C precision keeps storage in the critical 4±1°C window, extending shelf life.
What is the function of liquid-bottle sensor monitoring?
External monitor bottles filled with saline track actual compartment temperature; if a sensor shows deviation, staff know to investigate refrigerant failure.
How does multi-air-flow uniformity prevent temperature hot and cold spots?
Strategic airflow ensures all shelves and corners reach 4°C equally, eliminating hidden areas where blood could warm up unnoticed.
What does auto-defrost prevent in blood bank refrigerators?
Auto-defrost removes ice buildup on coils without manual intervention, maintaining airflow and preventing the gradual temperature rise that occurs during operation.
When would a facility choose 1,008 L over smaller capacity?
Large regional centers and hospitals with daily transfusion demand of 100+ units require this capacity for operational continuity.
