Blackfrog Technologies, an ISO 13485 & ISO 9001-certified
medical device manufacturer, has developed Emvólio, a portable
medical-grade active cooling device. The device is designed to
maintain a stable 2-8°C temperature for 12+ hours, ensuring
last-mile transport of vaccines under controlled temperatures. Each Emvólio device can accommodate 30-50 vials of vaccines,
enabling the administration of 300 – 500 doses of life-saving
vaccinations. This 5.5-kg device can be used for 12-15 hours
after a 3.5-hour charge in remote geographies. Emvólio is solar
compatible and provides real-time alerts and tracking of assets
via the cloud, enhancing accountability. SAMRIDH’s backing has
enabled Blackfrog to strengthen India’s COVID-19 vaccination
campaign by improving vaccine accessibility in remote areas with
inadequate cold chain facilities and unreliable power supplies.
