Follett meets the standards for cold storage solutions for blood products

Storage devices shall have the capacity and design to ensure that the proper temperature is maintained. (AABB Standard 3.6.1)
Whole blood and red blood cell components should be stored from 1°C to 6°C (AABB Reference Standard 5.1.8A)	Temperature uniformity of Follett refrigerator is +/- 1°C Factory set point for REF20/25BB is 3.3°C Factory set point for REF5BBP-T is 4.4°C Heavy-duty, forced-air refrigeration systems provide quick recovery after door openings

Plasma components should be stored ≤ -18°C (AABB Reference Standard 5.1.8A)

Temperature uniformity of Follett freezer is +/- 1°C
Factory set point plasma for freezers is -30°C
Heavy-duty, forced-air refrigeration systems provide quick recovery after door openings
Top-mounted refrigeration system introduces no heat into the storage cabinet, resulting in < 3°C rise in product temperature during defrost

Internal storage temperatures of refrigerators, freezers and platelet incubators shall be monitored. (AABB Standard 3.6.2)
For storage of blood or blood components, the temperature shall be monitored continuously and recorded at least every 4 hours. (AABB Standard 5.1.8.1.3)	Follett refrigerators and freezers monitor the temperature inside the storage cabinet and display current, min and max temperature on the user interface. 50,000 data points of temperature data is stored at user-selectable intervals on the user interface and can be displayed, graphed or downloaded. Follett refrigerators and freezers activate a high or low temperature alarm if the simulated product temperature probe records a temperature that exceeds or falls below the alarm limits. Follett blood bank refrigerators and plasma freezers monitor and activate alarms for other factors that could impact the temperature, such as door openings and power failures. Follett blood bank refrigerators and plasma freezers constantly monitor and continuously record temperatures inside the cabinet using an analog chart recorder. The refrigerators and freezers include remote alarm contacts and a 3rd party probe port to enable monitoring and recording with 3rd party systems.

Temperature consistency on every level

Blocked airflow in refrigerators and freezers with hanging evaporators inside the storage cabinet could leave areas out of temperature – but not with Follett. Follett’s patented dual-duct air delivery system distributes air evenly at every level to keep the entire cabinet in-temperature, protecting your valuable temperature-critical items.
