What Is a Blood Bank Refrigerator?
A purpose-built medical refrigerator that holds whole blood and packed red blood cells (RBC) at a controlled 2°C–6°C, with continuous temperature recording and alarms — different from a domestic or pharmacy fridge.
Use In a Blood Bank
Used in the main storage area to hold donated whole blood and RBC units between collection and issue, keeping every unit within NABH temperature limits and giving staff an auditable temperature log for inspections.
Buying Checklist
- Capacity matches your average daily + buffer stock (bags, not litres)
- 7-day circular chart recorder or digital data logger for audit trail
- Dual independent temperature sensors with audio-visual alarm
- Battery backup for display/alarm during power cuts
- After-sales service and calibration support available in your city
NABH / NACO Relevance
NABH and NACO blood bank standards require continuous, documented temperature monitoring of blood storage refrigerators. A unit with a built-in chart recorder or validated digital logger makes inspection and audit documentation straightforward.
Kell BioTech Software Integration
When connected to Kell BioTech's software, refrigerator temperature logs and alarm events can be tied to the same inventory record as the blood units stored inside — so a temperature excursion is visible against the exact bags affected, not just a separate paper chart.
FAQs
What temperature should a blood bank refrigerator maintain?
2°C to 6°C for whole blood and packed red cells, monitored continuously with audio-visual alarms for any deviation.
Is a domestic refrigerator acceptable for blood storage?
No — NABH/NACO guidelines require a validated blood bank refrigerator with continuous monitoring, alarms, and a documented temperature log, which domestic fridges don't provide.
Can Kell BioTech link refrigerator alarms to inventory records?
Yes, temperature alarm events can be logged against the inventory module so any excursion is traceable to the specific units affected.
