How long will this item keep my medicine cool for? I travel overseas and need to be able to keep the items cool for at leave 15 hours.

If you need it 'cool' rather than maintained at a specific temperature, you'll be fine. If worried, add a small pack of dry ice. As a matter of interest though, I find that checking this sort of thing into the hold is better as the cabin is warmed while the hold is colder in my experience. Also your clothes are added insulation!

This pouch is very convenient, but it is really for short term use- maybe 3-4 hours in the summer heat. I might last longer in cooler conditions.

This item will not work for that long. For a better choice, you should try a Frio, water activated cooling pouch. It will last up to 40 hours. I use one of those for long trips for keeping a Levemir pen cool and it works great.

we planned to use it in the car (12 volts) during daytime driving and then plug it in with the AC adapter at night in hotels. We found that the AC adapter was noisy and got scary hot in hotel rooms so we just quit using it that way and anyway the hotel room usually had a fridge. It takes a couple of hours to cool off when used in the car, after that it keeps cold for the rest of the day. It should work for you that way.

This pack will keep things cool not cold. I used this on vacation in Italy using syringes with vials and it worked just fine.

Yes, it it safe to treat electronics in a device like this. The components in most electronics will withstand temps higher than 130F. Most commercial electronics have a rated max around 70C (~159F) . I'd say it takes 60-120 minutes, depending on what you put in the device. You get a basic thermometer to track the temp. Put the batteries in the "outside" thermometer on first, then put the batteries in the one with the LCD display. Bury the outside therm as deep as you can among the items in the enclosure. You should see temps on both sides of the display. I got it to treat luggage after trips and thrift store finds. It holds quite a bit, and folds to a small size for storage.

I like it! I use it for keeping medicines cool when we're on the road. It keeps contents chilled for a good 8-10 hours, is easily tucked away in a large handbag or carry on & the ice pack "recharges" if placed in a small refrigerator overnight. It's a good buy.

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

Questions to consider: checking bags or bringing them on the plane, once known; how long do you need to keep things at a lower temp. These bags work for 35-40 minutes. But if hotter they can lose their temp quickly

It does reduce puffiness a bit. However, know that the item looses its coolness in 10 to 15 minutes.

I keep mine in a cool, dark place and its still good after a few months. I don't see why it wouldn't last nearly indefinitely providing it doesn't get contaminated with any foreign substances. Maybe keeping it in the fridge might help with this.

It may be okay as long as your meds stay within the allowed temp range but I would call your Pharmacist or Doctor to be sure. The ice pack section and med section are lined on either side with a thermal reflective barrier so should hold pretty well. Most mini fridges have a small freezer section but refrigerated is better than no cooling if no other options are available.

We had took an 8 hour trip and my milk stayed cold the whole trip. I haven't tried it any longer than that. But from what I remember the pack was still cold by the end of the trip. Hope this is helpful.

This size will stay warm for about 15 minutes when insulated against your skin. Larger packs will stay warmer for longer periods of time.

I have only used it for cold items. With an ice pack it stays cold for about 6 hours.

it depends how hot you want it. I put mine for about 2 minutes and it lasts about 15 minutes. but then it cools and you redo it.

It's never a good idea to keep any cooling system (a/c, refrigerator, etc...) on its side for too long. If you need to place a cooling system on its side for transportation etc... Then make sure that you place it back upright for a minimum of 24 hours before you plug it in for use. If you don't then more than likely you'll damage the unit.

It will stay hot for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. About the same time as a cup of coffee or tea.

Unopened bottles of Potable Aqua tablets, when maintained under controlled temperatures between 60 and 86 F (15 to 30 C), should remain effective up to four years. Exposure to heat, humidity, moisture, and air will reduce the effectiveness of the tablets. We recommend that an opened bottle not be kept for more than one year. Keep the cap tightly sealed. Although this product is not required to have an expiration date (taken from their website. glad you asked looks like i need to buy new ones.)
