Roundfin RD-C

In hospital mortuary placements where three-body capacity is required but floor length is the constraining dimension, the RD-C delivered through Medigear.uk supports three-chamber holding in the shortest cabinet in the Roundfin three-body range. NHS Estates teams specifying the RD-C typically deploy it to district general hospital mortuaries with tight floor-plan annexes, treatment-centre overflow rooms, and listed-building hospital sites where the longer RD-3 and RD-3S siblings would exceed available length. Still, ceiling clearance allows the top-mounted compressor housing.

In pathology and coronial workflows operating from compact-footprint spaces, the RD-C supports three-way parallel chamber operation. Chamber A typically holds routine pre-PM cases at the standard 0 °C to -10 °C range; chamber B can hold a delayed forensic case at -15 °C awaiting Coroner direction; chamber C can sit at +5 °C ahead of family-attended identification — all simultaneously without thermal coupling. Conventional front-opening doors provide straightforward operator access without specialist hydraulic-rod training.

For independent funeral homes looking for three-body capacity in compact preparation rooms, the RD-C, delivered through Medigear.uk, offers higher weekly throughput than two-body units, and its 2060 mm cabinet length fits funeral preparation spaces where the longer RD-3 and RD-3S would not. The top-mounted compressor layout supports tight back-wall positioning, and braked castors allow repositioning as the facility evolves.

In repatriation, mass-fatality response, and seasonal-surge contingency scenarios where three-body capacity is required in compact-footprint spaces, Medigear.uk supplies the RD-C to coronial overflow teams and trust contingency stores. The plug-and-set commissioning, four-mode alarm system covering high temperature, low temperature, door open, and power failure, and the optional remote alarm relay together support unattended overnight operation across resilience-critical placements.

Shortest Three-Body Cabinet in the Roundfin Range

The RD-C's 2060 mm cabinet length is the shortest in the Roundfin three-body range — 220 mm shorter than the RD-3 and 440 mm shorter than the RD-3S — fitting placements where floor length is the constraining dimension. The compact footprint enables three-body holding capacity in mortuary annexes, treatment-centre overflow rooms, and funeral preparation spaces where the longer siblings would not fit. Medigear.uk pre-delivery survey confirms floor length ahead of dispatch.

Independent Triple-Compressor Resilience Across Three Chambers

The RD-C uses three SECOP-brand compressors, one per chamber, mounted on the top of the cabinet. If one compressor develops a fault, the other two chambers remain at setpoint and continue holding bodies. At the same time, service is arranged — a two-thirds-capacity operation rather than a full equipment failure. For medium-throughput placements where complete failure would force emergency body transfer at scale, this resilience is the headline operational benefit Medigear.uk recommends the unit on.

CE Certified and ISO 9001 Manufactured for NHS Procurement

The RD-C ships with CE marking under the EU Medical Device Regulation framework, ISO 9001 quality-system manufacturing, IEC 60601-1 electrical safety, and IEC 60335-2-89 commercial refrigeration compliance. The documentation set matches the RD-3 and RD-3S sibling units exactly, supporting NHS Estates procurement frameworks, CQC inspection evidence, and HTM 20-04 mortuary refrigeration capacity audit. Medigear.uk holds the UK importer registration with the MHRA.

Top-Mounted Compressor Frees Back-Wall Adjacency

The top-mounted compressor layout frees the back of the cabinet for tight back-wall positioning, meaning the RD-C can sit directly against a wall in placements where the back-mounted RD-3 sibling (with a rear compressor that extends the installed depth) would not fit. The trade-off is the ceiling clearance requirement above the compressor housing — addressed in the procurement decision logic between RD-C, RD-3, and RD-3S.

Three-Way Independent Temperature Operation

Each chamber operates under its own digital controller over the adjustable range of +5 °C to -15 °C without master-slave coupling. Chamber A can hold routine cases at -10 °C; chamber B can run a forensic case at -15 °C; chamber C can sit at +5 °C ahead of family viewing — all simultaneously without thermal coupling. The three-way flexibility supports parallel case management within a single compact cabinet footprint that two-chamber units cannot match.

Conventional Front-Opening Door Operation

The RD-C uses conventional front-opening doors rather than the telescopic hydraulic rod side-opening mechanism of the RD-3S — suiting placements where existing equipment, staff training, and operator workflow are built around front-loading geometry. The simple mechanical door operation eliminates the need for hydraulic rod service intervals and supports staff handover without specialist training across three chambers.

Universal Roundfin Tray Compatibility Across the Range

The 1940 × 580 mm body tray on the RD-C matches Roundfin's universal dimension exactly, shared across the RD-1, RD-2, RD-2S, RD-3, RD-3S, RD-B, RD-4, lifting trolley, and walk-in rack ranges. A trust running an RD-C alongside other Roundfin equipment can pool tray inventory and transfer trolleys without friction from dimensional mismatches. The cross-equipment compatibility is a long-term procurement advantage.

Plug-and-Set Commissioning Without On-Site Engineering

The unit ships fully assembled with refrigerant pre-charged. Commissioning is plug-and-set: connect to a standard UK socket, configure target temperatures on each of the three chamber controllers independently, and the unit reaches setpoint within six to eight hours. No F-Gas-qualified site engineering is required at installation, removing a procurement cost line item. Medigear. UK's pre-delivery survey confirms access before dispatch, given the 1975 mm height profile.

Verified Supplier OEM and Government Supply Ready Documentation

Medigear.uk offers verified supplier OEM rebranding, sample approval, and bulk-order coordination for distributor partners purchasing the RD-C for integration into broader clinical equipment frameworks. We provide AMC support through Medigear.uk's network of engineers for distributor placements that require ongoing service coverage. Government Supply Ready documentation supports public-sector tender response for NHS, coronial, and university anatomy procurement frameworks.

Three Stacked Refrigeration Chambers With Front-Opening Doors

The RD-C holds three front-opening refrigeration chambers stacked vertically within the 2060 × 800 × 1975 mm cabinet, with each chamber accessed through its own conventional lockable door. Each chamber accepts one 1940 × 580 mm body tray rated to 200 kg.

Three Germany SECOP Brand Compressors

Refrigeration is delivered by three SECOP-brand compressors (Danfoss-owned Secop SC range), one per chamber, mounted on the top of the cabinet for serviceable access. Published service life is 8–10 years, with a SECOP 5-year extended manufacturer warranty separate from the bed-level cover. Medigear.uk offers Chinese-brand compressor substitution as a cost-optimised alternative.

Top-Mounted Compressor Placement

Compressor placement on the top of the cabinet — distinguishing the RD-C from the back-mounted RD-3 and side-mounted RD-3S siblings. Top mounting frees the cabinet rear for tight back-wall positioning, at the expense of ceiling clearance above the compressor housing.

Independent Digital Temperature Controller Per Chamber

Three digital LED controllers are mounted on the front of the cabinet, one per chamber, showing current temperature, setpoint, and alarm status. Each operates fully in parallel — no master-slave dependency — across the +5 °C to -15 °C adjustable range with ±1 °C accuracy.

Factory Temperature Setting: 0 °C to -10 °C

The unit ships pre-configured at the standard 0 °C to -10 °C body-holding range across all three chambers, covering routine pre-PM, pre-release, and pre-funeral holding for the first five to seven days post-death. Reduces commissioning steps in direct-deployment scenarios.

Adjustable Temperature Range: +5 °C to -15 °C

The +5 °C upper limit supports viewing-temperature preparation; the -15 °C lower limit supports short-term preservation for delayed forensic, repatriation, and ceremonial-scheduling cases. Range is configurable per chamber under digital control without cross-chamber thermal coupling.

Temperature Accuracy: ±1 °C

Chamber temperature is held within ±1 °C of the controller setpoint across the full operating range, matching the RD-3, RD-3S, RD-2, RD-2S, RD-B, RD-1, and RD-N sibling units to ensure consistent audit-trail stability across mixed-capacity Roundfin placements.

Body Tray Load Capacity: 200 kg Per Tray

Each of the three 1940 × 580 mm body trays carries a static and dynamic working load of 200 kg. Total combined capacity is 600 kg across three trays. For bariatric bodies weighing over 200 kg, Medigear.uk supplies Roundfin's reinforced bariatric mortuary refrigerator range.

1940 × 580 mm Universal Body Tray Dimension

Body trays measure 1940 × 580 mm — Roundfin's universal dimension is shared across the full mortuary refrigerator range, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. Straight-through body transfer between equipment without re-handling reduces the number of body movements per case.

Double-Row Nylon Slider Roller System

Body trays slide on a double-row nylon roller system with seven rollers per side (14 per chamber, 42 across the unit). Maintenance-free nylon construction delivers low-friction pull-out for staff transfers and family viewing across the full tray travel.

304 Stainless Steel Cabinet Construction (316 Optional)

Cabinet, body trays, and internal door surfaces are 304 stainless steel — outer skin 1.0 mm, body trays 1.0 mm, inner cabinet 0.6 mm. A 316 stainless steel upgrade is available for order through Medigear.uk for use in chloride-exposed or aggressive-chemistry applications.

100 mm Foamed-In-Place Environmental Urethane Insulation

Insulation is 100 mm of foamed-in-place urethane using a non-CFC blowing agent, applied via Roundfin's disposable single-use foam machinery for void-free coverage around door frames, cable penetrations, and runner geometry.

Lockable Doors With One-Piece Seal and Replaceable Belt

Each of the three chamber doors uses Roundfin's one-piece moulded seal rather than a multi-strip design, eliminating seam-trap contamination vectors. Seal belts are field-replaceable, and each door carries a key-operated mechanical lock with two spare keys supplied at delivery. Medigear.uk stocks UK spares.

Four-Mode Fault Alarm System

The standard alarm system detects high temperature, low temperature, long-time door opening, and power failure — the four failure modes audited under HTM 20-04 mortuary refrigeration guidance. Audible and visual alarms at the cabinet front, with optional remote alarm relay for routing to off-site night-cover infrastructure.

Four Braked Universal Castors

Four braked castors support unit mobility during commissioning, room reconfiguration, and deep-cleaning workflows. Castors lock individually when the unit reaches its operating position, holding it stable during chamber door operation and tray pull-out across all three chambers.

Standard 220 V / 50 Hz UK Mains Operation at 840 W

The unit operates on standard UK 220–240 V 50 Hz single-phase mains via a 13 A socket, with a power consumption of 840 W / 1.2 A — matching the RD-3 sibling exactly. A 110 V / 60 Hz international variant is available for order through Medigear.uk for export and overseas-territory placements.

Customisation Options for LED, Drain, UV, Ozone, and USB Record

Customisation available at order includes LED interior lighting (recommended for viewing workflows), integrated drain plumbing (for wash-down infection control), UV sterilisation module (for non-contact terminal-clean cycles), ozone purification (for odour management in lower-ventilation plant rooms), and USB temperature-record interface (for HTM-aligned audit trails).

The Roundfin RD-C mortuary refrigerator supplied through Medigear.uk delivers a compact three-body front-opening cooling solution for hospital mortuary, pathology, coronial, funeral home, and overflow placements that need three-chamber capacity in the shortest available cabinet length across the Roundfin three-body range. The independent triple-compressor design protects against full equipment failure across three chambers rather than two. Chamber-by-chamber digital controllers support the temperature flexibility that real-world body-holding workflows demand. The universal Roundfin tray dimension integrates the unit with mortuary lifting trolleys and walk-in racks during throughput peaks. With CE marking, ISO 9001 manufacturing, IEC compliance, three SECOP compressors, full 304 stainless steel construction, and Medigear.UK MHRA importer routing, the RD-C meets NHS Estates procurement, distributor framework, and direct funeral-home capital purchase requirements.
