JAMMU, June 29: Godrej Appliances has expanded and strengthened its medical portfolio further by launching a range of 6 new models of medical refrigerators.
Keeping in mind the needs of urban and peri- urban areas where power outages are infrequent, the new Lite series is designed with a holdover period of three days which gives sufficient time to service and fix the product in case of any downtime.
The Lite series has been designed to offer 50 percent reduction in costs. In light of the limited budgets common to developing economies, this optimized series is expected to boost adoption of the superior Sure Chill Technology offered by Godrej Medical Refrigerators.
Godrej Appliances, one of the leading players in the home appliances industry, in partnership with UK-based Sure Chill Company, had launched medical refrigerators with Sure Chill technology last year. These specialized refrigerators were designed especially to address the key need of providing precise cooling solutions for vaccines and blood, despite long power outages.
Godrej Appliances has also developed an innovative standalone vaccine storage device in the form of a combined fridge freezer for remote health centres.
Godrej Appliances has also identified blood storage as a space that needs technological innovation, as blood storage also requires maintenance of optimum temperature range of 2-6°C. Below 2°C, the blood haemolyses and transfusing heamolysed blood can cause renal failure and fatal bleeding problems and above 6°C blood is at the risk of bacterial contamination. Using the Sure Chill Technology, Godrej has developed innovative solutions for blood storage and will be focusing on making it available to hospitals and blood banks.
With this strong portfolio, Godrej aims to contribute to vaccine wastage efforts by 30 per cent in developing nations.
According to Jamshyd Godrej, Managing Director and Chairman, Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Company Ltd, “We believe that when it comes to immunization, the cost of wastage must not be measured in dollars but in the count of lives lost.
