POAS Refrigerator & Freezer Power Outage Phone Alarm

Simple, Dependable Power-Failure Notification

The POAS continuously monitors the electrical power supplying a refrigerator, freezer, battery backup system, or other critical device.

When utility power is interrupted, the system automatically calls the programmed telephone contacts in sequence. This allows responsible personnel to investigate the outage, check the protected equipment, and implement the facility’s emergency response procedures.

Up to four telephone numbers can be programmed directly into the unit. An alarm can be acknowledged locally at the device or remotely during the telephone call.

A Practical Choice for Facilities With a Telephone Line

The POAS is designed for facilities that want direct telephone notification and already maintain a compatible analog telephone connection.

Because contacts are programmed directly into the unit, staff do not need to access an online dashboard to configure basic alerts. Once installed and programmed, the POAS provides a focused and dependable way to notify personnel when power to protected equipment has been interrupted.

Optional Temperature Monitoring

Power-failure monitoring is included with the POAS. One additional compatible sensor can be connected to expand the system’s monitoring capabilities.

An optional temperature probe can provide an additional warning when conditions inside a refrigerator or freezer move outside the programmed range. This can help personnel identify temperature problems caused by equipment malfunction, an open door, or an outage that extends beyond the available battery runtime.

Sensor selection should be based on the protected equipment, operating temperature, and environmental conditions.

How the POAS Works

Monitor The POAS continuously supervises the incoming power supply and any connected optional sensor.
Detect When the system identifies a power failure or another programmed alarm condition, it begins the notification process.
Call The POAS calls the programmed telephone contacts in sequence.
Acknowledge An authorized person can acknowledge the alarm during the telephone call or directly at the monitoring unit.
Respond Staff can investigate the outage, inspect the affected refrigerator or freezer, and implement the facility’s response procedures.

Applications

The POAS can support power-failure notification for:

Pharmacies
Medical practices
Clinics and health centers
Vaccine storage locations
Laboratories
Veterinary facilities
Blood and tissue storage areas
Research facilities
Remote or lightly staffed locations
Refrigerators and freezers protected by battery backup systems

Power-Outage Notification and Battery Backup Protection

A battery backup system and a power-outage alarm perform two different but complementary functions.

The battery backup supplies temporary emergency power to help keep a refrigerator or freezer operating. The POAS informs designated personnel that utility power has failed so they can evaluate the situation before the available battery runtime is exhausted.

Used together, these systems provide both temporary emergency power and direct personnel notification during an outage.

Configure a POAS for Your Facility

The appropriate monitoring configuration depends on the equipment being protected, the availability of a compatible POTS telephone line, and whether optional temperature monitoring is required.

Dr B. Johnson - Nashville, TN - , May 14, 2011

Medi Products was great to work with for my emergency back up power for my ambulatory surgery facility. They were able to take my required power information, calculate my needs, and develop a custom system to manage all my emergency power. More importantly, we had some challenges with my construction and implementation on site. They were very responsive to get these matters addressed, and sent out a representative to ensure my device was fully functional on site. Overall, despite the challenges, I am very pleased with their customer service, commitment to me and my office, and the final product is excellent and works as described. I highly recommend them.

Duncan - Chief of Administration, Community Health Center in Arizona June 13, 2017

Community Health Center in Arizona. We were sooo lucky to have it last until the power was restored, about 30 minutes after our call. That is proof that the product is top notch and saved us from a ton of extra work and extended power beyond what was guaranteed. Thank you for assisting me today during my moments of desperation! My Project Coordinator – J. Beltran and I will certainly be in touch once we have more information on our scope of project for expanding back-up systems. Thank you,

B. Ecker - Chief Operating Officer, July 18, 2014

Now that we have a successful install at our admin suite, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your expertise and efforts to help us pull this project together. You were a skillful partner working through the many fine details and different options. As a customer/client, I felt informed and well taken care. I appreciated your approach and responsiveness throughout. Ultimately, the product works and that, in its self, makes my life significantly better/easier. I hope your company realizes your value and strengths because it definitely made the difference in our success! It would be great of you to forward this one to your partners and leadership as I am sure there is more behind the scenes that I’m not aware of. If ever needed, I’d be happy to provide a reference for MediProducts as a highly satisfied customer. Take care,

Valia - , Dr K - Fertility Center - Houston, TX February 19, 2012

We are so happy we found MediProducts for our lab. They helped us find the correct system for our lab and made sure it would run what we needed. The unit has a small footprint and was extremely easy to get set up and running. Thank you!

J. Medcalf - , Karnack, Texas March 17, 2013

Found the company online and proceeded to talk with them. I found the sales people very knowledgeable and helpful. Pricing was average but service great, ordered a back up system and received it in quick time.

C. Worcester RN, - Office Manager, Pediatric office in Lawrence, PA August 29, 2014

Yes we have received it and are all set up. So far it has been great! We have lost power twice for brief periods since installation and it has been great. I am almost afraid to say anything and jinx myself. At this time I don't believe we are interested in any other products. Our set up probably isn't website picture quality but here it is. Thanks

A. Satchwell - Clinical Research Manager,, Round Rock, TX June 27, 2010

Community Health Clinic in WA. You had requested some pictures after installation at our site which I have attached here. Thank you for all of your help! They are working great!

B. Chi - Pharmacy Manager, Bellevue WA April 22, 2015

We have similar units already at both of our clinics. Easy email communication on details of the product and was able to quickly place orders for two units. Have not had an opportunity to utilize them yet. Really appreciated the discount as a community health clinic. White glove delivery was very helpful. Only recommendation I would give is that it would have been even more efficient if delivery and installation could at the same time.

Optional Temperature Probe

Add temperature monitoring to receive an alert when a refrigerator or freezer moves outside its programmed temperature range.

Temperature-probe selection should be based on the appliance, required operating range, and monitoring application.
