cooling system now available. FRÍO cooling wallets offer Insulin Dependent Diabetes mellitus (IDD) sufferers the ultimate stylish accessory for the safe & convenient storage or transport of insulin.
Frío® wallets keep insulin safe for up to 45 hours (lasts up to 5 times longer than an ice pack) - even in constant environmental temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit Keep one at home and make Frío® cooling packs part of your travel kit today - no more bulky, inconvenient ice packs or thermos flasks required ever again!
The principle is simple. To activate the wallet, immerse it in cold water for 10-15 minutes.DO NOT OVERSOAK. The crystals contained in the panels of the wallet then expand into a gel, which remains cool for several days - relying on the process of evaporation for cooling. Then just towel dry the outside and it's ready to go!
Although activated by water, a feature of the product is that after towel-drying, the Frío® wallet is dry to the touch. The Cambrelle pouch we supply free of charge with each Frío® cooling wallet increases the wallet's efficiency and allows it to be carried safely in your pocket or a bag as required. Each item is re-usable and can be used either continuously or intermittently.
Designed to suit all types and makes of insulin pumps, insulin pens and standard refill cartridges.
The Frío® can also be used for other medications requiring refrigeration
The Frío® wallet and the crystals have been extensively tested by the British Medical Devices Evaluation Unit. The crystals contained in the Frío®wallet conform to the relevant British Safety Standards.
Crystal Dust: It is inevitable that occasionally some microscopic crystals dust particles will percolate through the fabric of the interior unit. After immersion in water this sometimes appears as a sticky spot on the surface of the unit. In this event DO NOT WIPE the area but simply take a damp cloth and firmly pinch off the offending crystals. Frío® cooling crystals can expand to over 500 times their own volume in water so any slight presence is greatly magnified. This situation does not in any way affect the performance of your Frío® cooling wallet; they will always give you 100% results.
