Protection

Security locking system: Electromechanical lock
Access: RFiD cards + NFC

Cooling system

Cooling units for biological samples and pharmaceuticals.
2 temperature ranges: 10°C – 23°C (biological samples) / 2°C – 8°C (pharmaceuticals)
Temperature stability duration within established range: Minimum 24 hours

Freezing system

A) The freezing temperature of eutectic plates should be a minimum of -18°C (common household freezer temperature).
B) It is imperative that the eutectic liquid is perfectly frozen and solidified before using the eutectic plate. Without deep freezing, the eutectic liquid does not accumulate enough cooling capacity, and its refrigerating power degrades.
C) In order to accelerate their freezing, eutectic plates should be separated from each other inside the freezing chamber. Stacking them without cold air circulation considerably increases their freezing time.
D) The proper freezing of cooling accumulators can be visually checked if the wrapper is transparent, or dynamically by shaking the accumulator: any movement resulting from a liquid or semi-liquid state indicates that the solution is not completely frozen.
E) The freezing duration can vary from 12 to 24 hours depending on the refrigeration chamber used. Having a double set of eutectic plates allows for immediate availability of cold, as one set is continuously recharging.

Turning on Nuuk

A) Connect Nuuk to a power source using the correct charging cable. The full charging time is 3-4 hours.
B) Verify that the front display shows the message “Charging.”
C) Leave Nuuk charging for a minimum of 30 minutes before turning it back on.
D) Press the interior button until the display starts up.

Turning off Nuuk

When Nuuk has not yet started a journey, it will automatically turn off if no action is taken within a 5-minute period to save battery.

In case Nuuk is closed and a journey is initiated:

A) Swipe the correct destination card on the RFID reader located on the side of the Nuuk screen. The screen will display the message “Remove samples.”
B) Remove both secondary containers from the refrigerator.
C) The front display will show the message “Insert secondary containers.”
D) Empty both secondary containers and place them inside the refrigerator.
E) The screen will display the message “SENDING DATA.” At this point, the refrigerator is sending the latest data records to the platform. Close the refrigerator lid using only the side rubber seals.
F) After completing the data transmission and records, the refrigerator will automatically turn off when it has coverage.

RFID Cards: Collection Center (A)

A) The origin card is assigned to users responsible for loading sensitive material into Nuuk for sending to another location.
B) The origin card initiates a route cycle once it is brought near the RFID module of Nuuk, and the lid is closed in a way that cannot be manually opened.

RFID Cards: Delivery Center (B)

A) The destination card is assigned to users responsible for receiving the samples at the destination point.
B) The destination card ends a cycle once the material has been unloaded, and the secondary containers are returned to Nuuk.

RFID Cards: Start of Journey

To start the journey:

A) Turn on Nuuk using the inside button.
B) Close the lid, bring the origin card to the RFID area, and then Nuuk will start recording and sending the records to the platform.
C) Once Nuuk is closed, it cannot be opened by unauthorized personnel.
D) After a few seconds of swiping the card, the assigned journey information, including the origin and destination, will appear on Nuuk’s screen.
E) The origin card can be swiped through the card reader as many times as necessary to open and close Nuuk.

RFID Cards: End of Journey

To end the journey:

A) Bring the destination center card close to the Nuuk’s RFID area.
B) Remove containers from Nuuk.
C) Remove samples from the containers.
D) Place the containers inside Nuuk.
E) The message “Sending data” will appear on the screen.
F) Nuuk will automatically shut down when it has sent all the data.

Placement of the secondary containers

A) Place the containers inside Nuuk and position them as close as possible to the front wall of the refrigerator so that the optical sensors can recognize them.
B) Close the refrigerator lid.
C) Press the refrigerator lid and simultaneously bring the RFID card close to the reader located next to the front screen of the refrigerator.
D) Wait to hear the closing signal and for the front screen to display the message “Door closed.”
E) If Nuuk has closed correctly, the electromechanical lock will be engaged, and Nuuk will be locked. When it finds coverage, the front screen will display the origin and destination centers for Nuuk.

Alerts: type

A) Nuuk will emit a sound if it detects any type of incident during the journey: temperature, impact, and/or samples not extracted.
B) Whenever a specific alarm sounds, the type of incident will be displayed on the front screen.
C) If Nuuk emits a constant sound, it is because the temperature range at which the samples are being transported is outside the established standards. The refrigerator will continue to emit the sound until it returns to its correct temperature range.

Sending data

When Nuuk has NOT started a journey, it will automatically turn off if no action is taken within a 5-minute period to save battery. In case Nuuk is closed and a journey has been initiated:

A) Swipe the correct destination card on the RFID reader located on the side of Nuuk’s screen. The screen will display the message “Remove samples.”
B) Remove both secondary containers from the refrigerator.
C) The front screen will show the message “Insert secondary containers.”
D) Empty both secondary containers and place them inside the refrigerator.
E) The screen will display the message “SENDING DATA.” At this moment, the refrigerator is sending the latest data records to the platform. Close the refrigerator lid using only the side rubber seals.
F) After completing the transmission of information and records, the refrigerator will automatically turn off when it has coverage.

Once we enter the platform, in the left column, there is a dropdown menu with the different sections:

A) Daily routes
B) History
C) Centers
D) Devices

Temperature Logging in Nuuk & SaaS

A) The temperature displayed on Nuuk’s screen will always be the current temperature inside Nuuk.
B) he temperature shown on the online platform will be the last temperature recorded and sent from Nuuk to the online platform.
C) Temperature variations may exist between the degrees displayed on the Nuuk screen and the data on the platform because the temperature displayed on the platform will always be the last temperature recorded and sent (when it has coverage) from Nuuk to the online platform.
D) If Nuuk loses connection, it will record the corresponding data and send it to the online platform (data for the entire period it was without coverage).

Coverage signal

A) If the platform indicates that one of Nuuk lacks coverage, it means that Nuuk has not established a connection.
B) Whenever Nuuk is powered on, with the door closed and during a journey, it will record all data even if it lacks coverage. When Nuuk regains a connection, it will send the recorded data to the platform for the entire period when the refrigerator was without coverage.
C) Once the connection is restored, the platform will display the signal level of Nuuk as a percentage during the journey

Unfinished Routes
