Travel bags for transporting fragile medications | MedActiv Australia

WHAT IS LIFEINABOX

LifeinaBox is the world’s smallest refrigerator, designed for the safe transport of fragile medications such as insulin or growth hormones. About 5% of the worldwide population are “prisoners” of their medication, because their medication must be maintained at a temperature between 2 and 8°C at all times. To these people, LifeinaBox gives the freedom to travel anywhere, anytime, with the peace of mind of knowing that their life-saving medication is kept at exactly the right temperature.

Connected to a Smartphone application, available in iOS and Android, LifeinaBox is an essential tool for the better management of medication schedules, as well as the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. The Lifeina app follows the temperature of your medications in real time so that you can better manage your meds.

LIFEINA APP

You can download the Lifeina App for free for iPhone and iPad from the Apple App store or for Andriod on Google Play.

FREEDOM TO TRAVEL

Designed for the safe storage of fragile medication at an optimum temperature (2 - 8°C). Keeps your medication cool and at a constant temperature at work, at home or in your car.

CONSTANT TEMPERATURE

Refrigerates up to 8 standard injectable medicine pens or vials*. Includes both a universal 110-240V power cord and a 12V DC power adapter for your car.

BETTER CONTROL

The Lifeina app will monitor the temperature of your medication in real time and will send you automatic reminders when it is time for you to take your medication.

ALARM FUNCTION

An alarm will start to beep when the battery is down to a 20% charge. To turn off this alarm, simply click the O/I button on the right of the device. When the battery arrives to a 10% charge, the alarm will start again and it will not be possible to turn it off until you plug in the device.

BUILT-IN BATTERY

A 6-hour "emergency" battery is included inside LifeinaBox, and separate plug-in battery packs are available (see LifeinaPower). An alarm is included in the LifeinaBox, so that when power reaches 20%, the alarm will warn you that it is time to recharge your battery.

WHERE SHOULD I KEEP MY LIFINABOX WHEN I FLY?

You should anyway keep your medicine with you at all times, whatever the means of transport;

NEVER STORE YOUR MEDICINES IN LUGGAGE THAT WILL BE CHECKED INTO THE AIRPLANE CARGO STORAGE!

If your baggage is lost, or your flight is delayed, it might ruin your holiday.

Even if it is possible to use LifeinaBox on an airplane, we generally think that it is easier for plane travel to use one of our isothermal bags (LifeinaBag12 or LifeinaBag 24, that will also keep your medication between 2 and 8°C). The bags are just easier to stick in your handbag than a portable fridge. We tend to use LifeinaBox more in a car, hotel, home than on a plane.

But if you want to take your LifeinaBox on a trip with you on the plane, there is really no problem at all to do this. However, you will need the LifeinaTravel bag to transport your fridge, and you might want to get an extra battery (LifeinaPower) as well.
