AutoCool+H and AutoFreeze+H from Swisslog Healthcare provide pharmacy-grade, secure access-controlled refrigeration and frozen storage to protect the hospital’s medication inventory. As part of a centralized pharmacy management system, users can manage their perpetual refrigerated and frozen inventory based on par levels and support integrated wholesale ordering.

The devices support bar code confirmation of all dispensing and storage activities for refrigerated and frozen medications, and personnel actions are managed through password-secured doors. These features are designed to reduce the risk of dispensing errors. An air-cooled, forced-air refrigeration system maintains a uniform temperature and offers quick recovery for refrigerated and frozen medications.

Key features include password-protected access; bar code confirmation of all stocking, picking, and dispensing; and digital temperature display and readouts that direct staff through stocking and picking activities. Scalable to accommodate expanding needs and satellite locations, multiple units can be daisy-chained to automate all or a portion of refrigerated and frozen items.
