Evolve™ — A New Cold Has Arrived
Phononic is changing the paradigm of refrigeration with Evolve. Evolve products operate with
a patented SilverCoreTM refrigeration system and optional embedded temperature monitoring
system called SilverPoint™.
The Evolve family of products dramatically modernizes cold storage technology for medical
and healthcare facilities and offers a complete solution for protecting vaccines, medications,
and temperature-sensitive materials.
Thank you for purchasing the most advanced refrigeration technology available.
SilverCore Solid State, Compressor-free Refrigeration System
Your Evolve refrigerator operates with a refrigeration system that actively channels heat
energy through a non-toxic refrigerant and the Phononic heat pump, resulting in
unprecedented cooling capabilities within the chamber. Our compressor-free design requires
minimal maintenance, consumes less power, eliminates the use of toxic coolants, and
operates within whisper-quiet noise levels. As an added benefit, Evolve products can
continuously operate on uninterruptable power supply (UPS) battery backup power to protect
precious content during power outage events.
SilverPoint Temperature Monitoring Upgrade
SilverPoint is a temperature monitoring upgrade with optional USB downloadable local data
and WiFi enabled remote data. Access the SilverPoint web portal to create a multi-unit
temperature monitoring dashboard, view historical records and set up email alert
notifications.
The SilverPoint temperature monitoring system is designed to be compliant with CDC
recommendations for vaccine storage.
added to any Evolve refrigerator. Visit portal.phononic.com for more
information.
Using SilverPoint to Monitor Temperature Data
The temperature of any refrigerator will fluctuate throughout the course of a day. The CDC,
requires that temperatures are maintained in a safe range between 2 °C and 8 °C to prevent
vaccines from being compromised. Facilities that store vaccines and other sensitive inventory
are required to monitor and keep logs of temperature data. Some facilities log temperatures
manually by recording thermometer readings at set times, several times daily. The most
efficient method of logging is to use an automatic data logger to record interior temperatures
at set intervals.

Preprogrammed Settings
The monitoring system alarms are preset to common Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and
Center for Disease Control (CDC) industry standards for pharmaceutical drug and vaccine
storage conditions. Settings can be customized via the Settings and Alerts menus.
Temperature Display & Alarm – The display is preset to read the glycol sensor but can
be changed to read the air sensor. Temperatures are detected and displayed in Celsius
units to one tenth of a degree. For example, 4.0 °C. Upper and lower alarm thresholds
are driven by the sensor selected for the display.
o Set Point Temperature - The unit preset/default is set at 4.0 °C (39.2 °F)
o Upper Threshold Alarm - The unit preset/default is set at 8.0°C (46.4 °F)
o Lower Threshold Alarm - The unit preset/default is set at 2.0°C (35.6 °F)

will run and the refrigerator will work to
reach the default set point temperature of
4 °C. Once set point is reached, the fan
speed will reduce to conserve energy. The
unit will reach the air temperature setting
rapidly. Reaching glycol set point
temperature will take longer.
When the unit is first plugged in and powered, the Temperature Range Alarms are not
enabled until the unit reaches its preset temperature range + an offset of 3 °C. If the set
point temperature is 4 °C, then the alarms are enabled when the unit reaches 7 °C.
Loading Products for the First Time
After you power on your refrigerator, monitor the temperature display on the control panel
and do not load until the default set point of 4 °C (39 °F) is reached. There are three
temperature monitors inside the refrigerator, the glycol sensor and two air sensors. When you

load the refrigerator, always remember to provide some clearance around the air and glycol
sensors and make sure the glycol sensor remains properly connected.
Make sure that when loading products to load the bottom shelf first, the middle shelf second
and then finish by loading the top shelf.
When loading products previously stored at room temperature, monitor the temperature
display to prevent a compromise. We suggest you load room temperature samples in small
increments to help maintain a stable temperature.
Do not load product until the preprogrammed set point is reached.
Always provide adequate clearance around both the air and glycol sensors.
Tips for Managing Door Openings
When a refrigerator door is opened, warmer ambient air enters and causes the interior
temperature to fluctuate. To limit this effect, there are a few simple steps you can follow to
reduce the number of times the door is opened as well as the duration it is left opened:
• List a detailed inventory of the refrigerator’s contents on a chart posted outside the
unit to reduce the time spent searching for items when the door is opened.
• Use clearly labeled bins to organize and quickly identify contents.
• Avoid storing beverages or any non-sample items (like food) in any unit used for
sensitive inventory. Not only is this a health hazard, it also leads to more frequent
opening of the door.
that sounds when a door has been open for more than 1 minute.
Automatic Defrost Cycles
The Evolve refrigerator will run a pre-programmed automatic defrost cycle every 24 hours.
During the defrost cycle you will likely hear the fan turning off and on. In addition to the
automatic defrost cycles, you can initiate a manual defrost cycle through the Settings menu.
