We have over 35 years of experience in providing high-quality temperature controlled environments. Our products are used in over 100 countries throughout the world. Helmer originated in the blood bank market where precise temperature control is essential to the successful storage and transfusion of products. These same principles have been applied to the design and development of our pharmacy products. Product Overview Pass-Thru Refrigerators serve a useful function in managing the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biologicals, samples, and other temperature-sensitive products in pharmacies, hospitals, universities, and research applications. They create a boundary, or barrier, between separate facility functions. In pharmacies, Pass-Thru Refrigerators can be built into a wall, thereby isolating the clean room from the regular facility environment. In addition, the compounded drugs can be loaded from the clean room from back-to-front, permitting products to be removed outside the clean room on a “first-in-first-out” basis. Helmer Pass-Thru Refrigerators offer superior temperature uniformity and quick recovery using a heavy-duty, forced air refrigeration system to ensure that your high-value, temperaturesensitive products are stable. Alarm monitoring provides advanced notification of any alarm condition, allowing the user adequate time to correct any situation or remove products to ensure that product is not lost or compromised. Features n Superior Chamber Temperature Uniformity Stable temperatures and quick recovery are achieved with the heavy-duty, forced-air refrigeration system. n Advanced Alarm Monitoring i.Series® models feature the i.C3® which offers constant temperature monitoring and control, access to multiple information logs, on-screen event acknowledgement for corrective actions, and downloading via a full-color touchscreen. Horizon Series™ models include an integrated alarm monitor with visual and audible temperature alarms. n USP<797> The covered top, finish trim kit and skirt, and easy-clean surfaces of the Pass-Thru Refrigerator help facilities meet USP<797> Clean Room Requirements. n Bacteria-Resistant Powder Coating The use of bacteria-resistant powder coating on the interior and exterior provides security as well as aids in the cleaning process. n Dry Storage Environment Helmer has developed a refrigeration system that results in reduced humidity levels creating a dryer storage environment ideal for storing boxes and other containers. n Pass-Thru Drawer Stop A mid-stop catch built into each drawer ensures proper closure to maximize airflow, maintain temperature uniformity, and protect glass doors from slide throughs.
