PATH evaluated 3 units in Indonesia in 2006. The refrigerator, made
by the Twinbird Corporation of Japan, embodies several new approaches
to protecting vaccines from freezing temperatures: a non-adjustable
thermostat that automatically keeps temperatures in range; an
integrated heating element to protect vaccines in freezing climates;
and a digital temperature readout with min-max record. It is compact
and energy efficient.
The Twinbird refrigerator is awaiting the finalization of PQS
specifications, at which time it will be submitted for WHO prequalification.
