PRODUCT USER GUIDE

Product Overview

The VFC2000-MT is a simple solution for vaccine temperature monitoring compliance. Designed to satisfy all CDC and VFC requirements, the VFC2000-MT provides precise, continuous temperature monitoring and validation for temperatures as low as -100 °C (-148 °F). Featuring a convenient LCD screen, the VFC2000-MT displays current readings, minimum and maximum statistics as well as a battery level indicator. User-programmable alarms trigger an audible and visual alert. Optional glycol bottle monitors for temperatures as low as -50 °C (-58 °F) and AC power source allows battery to be a back up if there is a power loss.
