Your kitchen fridge was designed for groceries.
The Svalto™ Home Base is a dedicated medication fridge the size of a shoebox: a true set-point, a live readout on the lid, and double-layer storage so a month of doses stays organised.
A month of doses, laid flat.
Pens lie flat in the lift-out tray; vials and cartridges stand below. Capacity depends on the shape of your device, so we quote it by geometry and label it typical.
| Device shape | Examples | Typical capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Slim multidose pens | Ozempic®, Saxenda®, most insulin pens | 12 pens |
| Single-dose autoinjectors | Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, Zepbound®, Trulicity® | 8 pens |
| Wide-body autoinjectors | Larger-format injectors | 6 pens |
| Vials and cartridges | Insulin vials, refrigerated vials | Lower tier, standing |
Not a replacement for a pharmacy refrigerator, and not a freezer. Your leaflet is the final word on how your medication should be stored.
A true set-point
Dial in your target and variable-frequency cooling holds it, day and night — no thermostat drift between grocery runs and door swings.
Glance-and-know readout
The live internal temperature sits on the lid, readable across the room. No opening the door to check.
Double-layer storage
Pens lie flat in the lift-out tray; vials and cartridges stand below. A month of doses stays organised instead of rattling in a crisper drawer.
Home, car and USB power
It lives on the counter and rides in the car on refill day.
A door swing you never see.
Household fridges are built for food, not for a 2–8°C band. Door shelves warm past 8°C in summer; back corners dip below 2°C and can freeze a pen overnight. No colour change. No smell. It still clicks — and the medicine has already changed.
A dedicated fridge removes the variable entirely: one set-point, one readout, nothing else sharing the space.
Two configurations.
- Home Base and mains power
- Counter-top set-point cooling
- Live LED readout on the lid
- Home Base + travel battery
- Adds cordless running for refill day and the car
- Same set-point, away from the wall

Questions, answered plainly.
How is this different from a normal mini fridge?
A drinks fridge cools toward “cold” with a wide swing. The Home Base holds a set-point in the 2–8°C band, shows the internal temperature on the lid, and is laid out for pens rather than cans.
Can it freeze my insulin?
It is a refrigerator with a set-point in the 2–8°C band, not a freezer. Set it and check the readout. Frozen insulin is permanently damaged and must not be used, whatever the cause — if a pen has frozen, don't inject it, ask your pharmacist.
How many pens does it hold?
Typically 12 slim pens, 8 autoinjectors or 6 wide-body injectors, plus vials and cartridges on the lower tier.
Can I take it in the car?
Yes — it runs on home, car and USB power, which covers refill day and the drive home from the pharmacy.
Should I still keep a travel cooler?
If you travel with doses, yes — they solve different problems. The Home Base is the fixed post at home; the Cooler Pro covers the hours between fridges.
What about a power cut?
Keep the door shut and the interior holds for a while, but a long outage is a real risk to a month of doses. The Fridge Guard alarms when a fridge drifts out of range, which is how you find out in time.
What if it doesn't work out?
Every order carries a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty.
One shelf that is only ever about your medication.
The Svalto Home Base is not a medical device and is not a pharmacy-grade refrigerator. Brand names are the property of their respective owners. For storage rules specific to your medication, your leaflet and your pharmacist are the final word.
