The FRIO® Insulin Cooling Case is a reusable evaporative cooler whose cooling properties do not come from an icepack - or anything that needs refrigeration. Its cooling properties come from the evaporation of water. When activated, it keeps its cool temperature for a minimum of two days, even in temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 

​

The FRIO is not a refrigerator substitute.  It keeps things cool- not cold.   It is designed to keep its contents at or below room temperature (77/78 F or 25 C).  In general, the FRIO keeps contents between 64.4 and 78.8 F (18-26 C) even in temps of 100 F (37.7C) or more.  This is cool and safe for insulin and other temperature sensitive medication that cannot go over 86F- all through evaporative cooling.  It will keep your medication at this temperature for a minimum of 45 hours per activation.  

 

For a FRIO® to be activated, simply soak it in water for 5-10 minutes. It retains its cooling properties for a minimum of two full days. After that, re-soak your FRIO® in water and it is good for another two days - and so on, and so on...

 

All brands of Insulin can remain at room temperature (64.4 and 78.8 F/18-26C) for up to 1 month.  You can confirm this information with your doctor, pharmacist or diabetes educator.  Insulin intended for use past 1 month should be refrigerated. With the FRIO®, the person dependent on medication that must remain cool is not dependent on ice packs in any way or at any time.

EASY TO ACTIVATE

To activate the FRIO® wallet, immerse it in cold water for 5-15 minutes. Crystals contained in the panels of the wallet then expand into a gel, which remains cool for up to several days — relying on the process of evaporation for cooling. Just towel dry the outside and it's ready to go! To use it again, put the FRIO® back in water — it can be reactivated over and over again.
 

FRIO® wallets keep insulin safe for a minimum of 45 hours (more than five times longer than an ice pack) — even in constant environmental temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit! The insulating qualities of the FRIO® also help protect against the cold of winter. Don't just take our word for it — read our customer testimonials page! Keep one at home and make FRIO® cooling packs part of your travel kit or emergency supply kit today — no more bulky, inconvenient ice packs or thermos flasks required ever again! You'll wonder what you ever did without one.

Although activated by water, a feature of the product is that after towel-drying, the FRIO® wallet is dry to the touch. The Cambrelle® outer pouch wallet increases the wallet's efficiency and allows it to be carried safely in your pocket or a bag as required. Each item is re-usable and can be used either continuously or intermittently.
