What is the difference between a pharmacy fridge and domestic fridge?
The main difference between a pharmacy fridge and a domestic fridge is the level of precision and consistency required for the storage of drugs and vaccines. Pharmacy fridges  have features such as alarms, high and low logging, and can have backup power supplies to ensure the safety and integrity of the storedvaccines. Pharmacy fridges are designed to meet the specific requirements of the TGA and Pharmacy Guild, whereas domestic fridges are designed for general household use.
What is the temperature range of the lab fridge vs vaccine fridge?
Lab fridges offer a wider controlled temperature range for 2-8°C. Vaccine fridges, on the other hand, have a fixed 5°C setpoint as outlined in Strive for 5 by The Pharmacy Guild of Australia. 
Can you have remote monitoring of alarms in a vaccine refrigerator?
Thermoline's entire range of pharmacy vaccine fridges can be connected to a building management system to allow for remote monitoring of power loss and low and high alarms. The BMS is a volt-free NO/NC contact closure that simply changes state if in an alarm condition.
Can I change the set point of a pharmacy fridge?
No. Refrigerated storage requires temperatures within the range +2°C to +8°C. Drugs, vaccines and other medicines requiring refrigerated storage are those that are labelled “Refrigerate” or “Store between +2°C and +8°C”. The set point is fixed at +5°C to account natural fluctuations inside the fridge due to normal operating procedures and as outlined by the Pharmacy Guild and TGA. 
Are your vaccine refrigerators compliant with QCPP and Pharmacy Guild regulations?
All Pharmacy Vaccine Refrigerators are tested in-house in our state of the art testing rooms to ensure they conform to the toughest regulations required as a medical device. Thermoline Pharmacy Vaccine Refrigerators are registered Medical Devices, Class I and are listed in the ARTG, 299070.
How do I check and reset the minimum & maximum temperature readings on the Dixell controller?

What is the PoF message on the controller?
