Do you need a waterproof liner?

Waterproof liners are recommended for any one who is using anything electronic, such as the pump and Innolet injector and meters etc to prevent any moisture effecting them.
It can also be used to help prevent any labels coming off the bottles if required.
The manufacturers of Byetta also suggest that moisture stay off of their pens, so, Byetta users may benefit from the waterproof iners as well.

The FRIO Cooling Wallet

An innovative product that solves the problem of keeping diabetes insulin at a safe temperature without the need of refrigeration , in an effective and economical way. This Information will help you to understand how the FRIO Wallets work and why they are a must have item for every Insulin Dependant Diabetes sufferer.

 

Frío cooling products need to breathe and must have continual air circulation to effectively cool.  While activated, Frío products MUST NOT be placed into air-tight containers, plastic bags, suitcases, etc.  External mesh pockets are the ideal location to carry your Frío cooling wallet.

Frio Characteristics
• Light and compact (between 29gms and 66gms) ( 1 to 2 ozs)
• Activated by water - no need for ice or fridges or even electricity
• Keeps insulin cool for over 45 hours for each immersion period
• You can keep on using it over and over again - either continuously or intermittently, the choice is yours!

Frio Description


The FRIO Cooling Wallet (inner part)

This material is 65-35 Poly cotton, which has been made into an open pocket with double-walled panels containing panels of super-absorbent crystals, which are non-toxic and non-flammable.


The Cover (Outer part)

It is manufactured from a Du Pont fibre called “Cambrelle.” This pouch is permeable and facilitates the evaporation process, as well as improving the stability of the temperature inside the Wallet

FRIO How It Works

To activate your Frio Wallet, it is simply immersed in cold water for 5-15 minutes (depending upon the size.) Crystals contained in the panels of the Wallet then expand into a gel-like substance, and remains in this form for several days. Once activated, the Frio wallet should be removed from the water and towel dried. It should then be left for a minimum of 10 minutes (longer if possible) so that all the excess moisture held in the fabric is also absorbed. Now you can place it into The Cover. The Frio Wallet will now be dry to the touch and can be placed in a handbag or pocket without the adjacent items getting damp.

The evaporation process creates a cooling effect inside the Frio wallet, and the crystals ensure that this process is long lasting. When in continuous use subsequent immersion periods MUST BE reduced to 3-4 minutes as the crystals will keep expanding and absorbing water. Whilst activated, the wallet MUST be able to “breathe” and must not be placed in a plastic bag or air tight container.

FRIO The Tests

The FRIO Wallet has been extensively tested by the British Medical Devices Evaluation Unit. The results of these tests show that the crystals conform to the relevant British Safety Standards and that the FRIO Wallets have the ability to keep insulin at acceptable limits for a period of 45 hours in a constant environmental temperature of 100F (38.8C.) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have also scrutinized the FRIO Wallet and their crystals and the sale of FRO Insulin Travel Wallets in the USA has been approved.

FRIO Products - They work!

Please note once the FRIO has been used or just ACTIVATED we will NOT return it

Great for travel!
My son and I were traveling this summer, and on a particularly warm day, we discovered that our gel packs were not holding up. In minutes, we had the FRIO pack working, and it kept his insulin pens cool for days. FRIO saved our vacation, and gives us great peace of mind for summer power outages and travel.

I LOVED this product!!!
I was worried about how to keep my insulin cool while hiking in NM for 2 weeks. I saw this product and decided to give it a try. The staff was GREAT about getting it to me quickly. It worked even better than I had hoped. It kept my insulin cool despite 100 degree temp. Thank you for your excellent service!!!!

GREAT
The Frio Bag I ordered was GREAT and so was the service.  We were traveling on a motorcycle 2800 miles for 2 weeks and I did not know if I would have access to a refrigerator to keep my insulin cool. As a type 1 diabetic for 30 + years that is always a concern. I stored 2 bottles of insulin and 4 bottles of Symlin in the pouch then put it in the saddle bag on the motorcycle.  We traveled in 100 degree temperatures and the pouch was inside a black leather saddlebag but my insulin  was always cool---I always had access to cold water to activate the Frio Bag.  It was great doing business with you and shipping was right on time!!!  Thanks you have just won over a new customer!!!!!!

love the product
I purchased a Frio at the last minute for my daughter who was going to Puerto Rico two days later.  I absolutely love the product.  It worked wonderfully, and kept her insulin cool without refrigeration throughout her trip.
 
I particularly appreciated your ability to deliver the Frio to us at the last moment.  No other company was willing to guarantee a 48-hour turnaround.
 
Thank you!

I ordered the Frio for my niece as a Christmas gift.  She always carries a lunch bag with chill packs for her insulin and when she saw my Frio & I told her how great it worked, especially when traveling out of the country where ice is hard to come by, she wanted one for herself
