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.

We typically let ours freeze overnight and that works best. It does not work if it's only in the freezer for an hour or two.

I froze mine. It has special extra long lasting cubes in the gel and will stay ultra cold for an hour. You will freeze before it thaws.

Really not sure,but all I can think off is that maybe your freezer is not turned down cold enough.

The vials will not fit sadly. Also the insert keeps the insulin slightly cool not icy cool. My husband pre draws his insulin for the day and they stay cool all day. I hope this helps.

No, but liquids expand when frozen so leave a couple of inches of headroom good luck!

Not that I know of. I just store it in the medicine cabinet and have not had a problem for many years.

I don't know if it won't freeze but I ordered mine in Jan and its been cold here. It arrived fine. You can ask the company. They're great about helping.

Good question. We live in Minnesota. So far our temps have not gotten below freezing. However, the plunger is very "loose" -- it is not a tight fit like if it were screwed in.

Yup, I've put mine in the freezer (even for weeks at a time) with no problems at all.

It hasn't been an issue for me. If you take the frozen tray out, it is still useable, and smaller, but the you loose your chill factor.

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.

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.

Maybe the liquid in the container isn't freezing (ahead of time, in the freezer) like it should. I'd contact Cuisinart directly.

It holds insuline for more than 12 hours in weather conditions less than 27C. I could not tellthe temp inside, but I use it to travel (trips that are more than 12 h) and haven´t had any problems with my insuline (Apidre and Lantus).

I have the Frio which is basically the same thing. It does keep insulin adequately cool for a long time (2 plus days) via evaporative cooling. I trust it completely. It is a much better solution than using ice. Enjoy it!

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.
