Electric Medication Cool Box

No. The cool box actively regulates to 5°C and keeps the contents between 2 and 8°C. So it does not cool below zero, as a freezer or a hotel minibar set too cold can. As long as you use it in a normal environment, your medication stays within the safe range.

For all medication that needs to be stored between 2 and 8°C. Think of insulin, growth hormone, fertility medication, biologicals for rheumatism or bowel disease, and vaccines.

If it fits in the inner compartment of 180 × 65 × 40 mm, the cool box will keep it at the right temperature. Not sure about your medication? Email us at support@medicooler.com.

Yes, and that is exactly what it is made for. As long as you have power, the box keeps cooling indefinitely: from the socket in your hotel room, from the 12V socket in the car, or on the built-in battery, which lasts around 6 hours. With that combination, you can travel almost anywhere.

In the hotel, that means: no handing in your medication at reception and no depending on a minibar. You simply have your own fridge in your room, just for your medication. Put it on the supplied stand so it gets optimal airflow and runs more quietly.

In the car, you connect it to the 12V socket. Even if you have no power on the way, the battery lasts 6 hours. Handy tip: put the box in the shoulder bag so you can hang it from the headrest. That way it stands free, cools efficiently and doesn't slide around.

Yes, you can definitely take the electric cool box in your hand luggage! In fact, we strongly recommend it, to keep your medication safe and with you throughout the journey.

On board, you can charge the cool box via the socket or USB port under or in front of your seat. Please note: using separate power banks is often no longer permitted on planes, so on board you depend on the available power points for the electric cool box.

Why many customers choose a combination:

For the flight: A passive cooling bag with gel packs is often more practical on board. You do not depend on power points, it is lighter and it slips easily into your backpack or hand luggage. That way, you can fly without worry.

At your destination: At your destination (such as in the hotel, apartment or car), the electric cool box is ideal. There you don't have to keep refreezing gel packs or hand your medication in at reception.

A combination of a cooling bag for the flight and an electric cool box for your final destination is therefore the most comfortable solution.

Are you only travelling from A to B, with a fridge available at both locations? Then take a look at a cooling bag to carry your medication during your journey.

Yes, the electric cool box is designed for universal, worldwide use:

From the wall socket (worldwide):

The supplied universal power adapter works on 230V (suitable for 100V to 240V). Interchangeable travel plugs are supplied as standard for Type A (e.g. US/Japan), Type C (EU), Type G (e.g. UK) and Type I (e.g. Australia/China).

On the go (car, campervan or boat):

A 12V car charger is supplied as standard, as well as a USB-C to DC charging cable for flexible connection options.

Portable / Wireless:

For situations without a socket, an optional 27,000 mAh power bank is available. This gives you up to 12 hours of extra cooling autonomy (available separately in the accessories).

No. The electric cool box is an electrical appliance and must be kept dry. The cooling bags are splash-resistant, but not waterproof.

The cool box is set to 5°C by default and keeps your medication accurately cooled between 2°C and 8°C. Even at warm ambient temperatures of up to 32°C (at normal humidity), the inner compartment stays stable at the right temperature.

Because air warms up much faster than liquid. If you measure the air in a bag, the performance seems better or worse than it really is for your medication. What counts is the temperature of the liquid in your pen.

That is why we measure there, and why our stated hours are more conservative and more reliable than figures based on air measurements.

Yes, you can take our MediCooler products (medication cooling bags and medication cool boxes) with you without any problems. Under European regulations, carrying cooling products and medication is fully permitted.

Here's how to get through security quickly and easily:

Gel packs in hand luggage: Gel packs are allowed in your hand luggage as long as they are completely frozen (they are then considered a solid).

On the return journey: Have the gel packs thawed (become liquid)? Refreeze them before the return flight, or simply put them in your checked luggage.

Medication: To be on the safe side, carry a medication passport (free from your pharmacy) or a doctor's statement. If you are asked for it, just show it briefly and you can carry straight on.
