The insulin pens I use are supposed to be chilled between 36 and 46 degrees F if unopened. Will this bag do that?

Yes this bag will do the job. It is not the best bag but it does the job and is easy to use. I really liked a different bag but it has been discontinued by the manufacturer and I tried for over 6 months to receive the bag and was finally told it was no longer made. Ii tried a different bag and it was not good at all and I keep looking and finally for this bag and it does the job but it was not as good as my favorite bag but, it is the best on I have found. I would say it is the best one on the market that I have found.

Just keeps them chilled in the heat and insulated in the cold. My son does not use pens, just viles and this bag keeps the insulin from getting too hot or cold in summer and winter.

The minus 30 can only be used in winter camping it is way to hot. I used it this fall the temp was around 40 degrees and had to have the bag unzipped because it was to hot.

My husband has this at the head of his bed. He is diabetic and prefers his apple juice or orange juice box and his water bottle colder than room temperature. He also keeps his glucose packet in there. Others have said that it is a glorified cooler but it does keep things about 30 degrees cooler than room temp.

I'm guessing loose ice would be a bad idea since it doesn't seem to be waterproof. Ice in a bag works.

I can't answer the question. I used the FRIO to carry one insulin vial that required constant cooling.

It depends on the medication you are travelling with. We use it for growth hormones which needs to be kept cool. I would recommend taking ziplock bags and fill them with ice regularly. The case has a compartment for the ice pack and I do not think it would stay cool very long unless it is frozen. If I were travelling, I would use ice, then refill whenever I stop for gas. With an ice pack it will stay cool for up to 6 hours. I love this thing. Happy travels.

Not sure what the temp is held at. the freeze pack goes into a zippered pouch on the back side that is like aluminum fabric reflecting covering. I will take a light jacket and wrap it around the Medicool Pen Plus Case and lay it on the back seat, this helps insulate it for travel. I have driven for 9 hours and the freeze pack is still solid in the center. The pens still felt as though they are about refrigerator temp. Hope this helps.

You can squeeze 9 in there if you pack them on their sides. I just tried it. That is without ice. Of course the bag will keep them cold for a while.

Yes, it keeps the insulin at 70 degrees, it doesn't get really any colder. We have used it for over 4 months no problem.

Yes. You need to know that this bag is quite insufficient for warmth in temps below 60

I'm not really sure what a safe temperature for an IV bag is, but this thing gets pretty hot. There isn't a control for temperature on this cabinet.

Product is an insulation, keeps insulin from ambient temperatures (i.e. keeps from heat of summer, cold of winter), kind of like a coat for insulin in winter time. It does say cool with cold water for summer, I guess it would be the same to heat with hot/warm water for winter (though I would not recommend because wet stuff in winter seems to cool off pretty quick). Hope this helps.

They are insulated cloth cases so they insulate your insulin from freezing. I live down south so I have had no experience to test the theory, but on first look this should work. Unless of course you live somewhere like Alaska where it is cold for months at a time. Everything is relative, it depends of course on how long it ie exposed to freezing cold..

Don't have it put up to the highest temperature setting and you should be fine, test it out on a bit of scrap leather first so that you can gain a sense for what the pen is going to do.

Yes. The bag is insulated but won't stay cold by itself. I use a small ice pack to make sure my food stays cold longer.

The only thing that came with it is a thin gel pack for freezing and keeping the insulin cool. The supplies in the illustration are only to show what you would typically use the bag for. As an FYI, the gel pack might be useful for very short trips in hot weather but it couldn't last too long so I depend on a larger Blue Ice in a small cooler.

My first use of this bag was on a night that dipped to 40 degrees. If I completely covered myself (hood up and tight) I was actually a little too warm. My feet were chilly all night though regardless - wish I had worm wool socks that night.
