Have you ever had a problem with this being too cold and freezing the insulin in the vial? (especially if the vial is almost empty)

yes, you must follow the ditections. they say to remove the pack from the freezer and put it in the fridge for 16 hrs prior to use.

I have not had that issue. I have had vials 3/4 empty and they did not freeze.

I have used the case several times and have never experienced any insulin freezing inside the case regardless of the amount of insulin left in the vial.

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.

No I have not. It actually was perfect. Try wrapping it with paper towel or a thin piece of packing foam sheet.

I have had to use this many times and have never experienced any freezing. Always had a full vial when I used it. I can't advise you on a partial vial.

The powder I do keep in the frig....not sure why other than it says refrigerate after opening on the jar. At least I hope it says that on the bottle. Now the capsules I just keep in my medicine cabinet and it is always cool inside the cabinet. Once we accidently put in the cupboard for a couple of days and the consistency was kind of sticky/clumpy after that.....maybe that is why?

I recommend you put the gasket on to the container prior to freezing. I found it can be hard to work with the frozen canister, but when it is room-temperature it is not an issue.

The insulin flow was not affected in any way, nor was the function of the pump. I used this while on a research trip in the Australian outback and it worked very well. The only issue I have with it was that it was very plastic material used in it was thin and developed an opening very easily. I did end up using the best invention ever...duct tape to seal the 'leak' and was able to continue without problems.

The pack comes with great instructions. You can freeze or just refrigerate the pack. If you freeze it you can take it out well before you use it and let it thaw a bit. What you do depends on the requirements of your Meds. I doubt that it will freeze your meds. Get a cheap thermometer and check the temps after freezing and is if it gets to cold for your meds. I use it for insulin and haven't had any issues.

It is a mineral oil suspension so my guess is that they probably didn't freeze. But I agree with Anonymous - I'd check the OcuSoft website or your local pharmacist.

Don't fill the ice too full. That may be it, but other than that, I am unsure. Hopefully it isn't defective.

It keeps the temperature in a range, depending on how you set it. Its a "room temperature" range, between 46 F and 77 or 86 F I believe. Its meant to protect your open vial of insulin from extremes. It is not appropriate for long term storage of unopened vials.

well by the time the shipment got to me the icepack had melted. But that never seemed to alter the effectiveness. I suggest you use an icepack for as far, or as long as possible until you reach your destination :)

Don't think it will keep the insulin cold unless you included cold packs. It is more of a bag to carry supplies than to keep things cold as it is not really insulated. My son keeps one vial in it for 30 days bit it gets warm and has to be discarded after 30 days. It does hold quite a bit of supplies and snacks.

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

I haven't had problems with it. Also order their product for dogs. I was told this is made in UK, but is the same product as the one here in US.Hope it's not counterfeit! I've never found vials that were not consistently filled. You should send it back if that's happening. Or contact Amazon.Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Did you make sure the wire to have it on is down? Make sure there isn't anything keeping it up when you close the freezer.

No. Following the directions exactly in the box froze off the concerned areas & sealed right away its so cold. Careful with your hands around the applicator tip as it is incredibly cold and can 'burn"

Though the ice pack in the pouch is only separate by a thin piece of polyester fabric, it will not freeze your insulin.

I have not had a problem with mine, but in extreme cold it does seem to freeze around the edges of my bird bath (tub). Perhaps a bird bath or container would do better if it was deeper. I use a small utility tub which is deeper than any of my bird baths. Hope that helps.

I've had the exact same problem. I just used a clip to keep it closed. Also thinking of transferring it into a freezer bag since I store it in the freezer.
