Patent ID: 8544286

Claim:
A combination portable cooling device and interiorly positionable monitor retaining temperature-sensitive medications, said combination comprising: said cooling device having a body of specified shape with an accessible location defining an interior volume, a power source communicating with said cooling device and including at least one of a 12 volt DC and an attachable 110 volt AC supply; a processor driven circuitry incorporated into said cooling device and in operative communication with said power source, as well as an internal thermostat for recording a temperature of said interior volume, said circuitry comparing the recorded temperature at determined intervals to a preset programmed temperature range; at least one control button and associated readout display configured upon an exterior of said cooling device and communicating with said processor driven circuitry for programming a desired temperature and monitoring the sensed temperature within said interior volume; said monitor further comprising a lid which is actuated to reveal an enclosure for holding the medications, additional processor driven circuitry incorporated into said monitor which is separate from said cooling device and which includes at least a current temperature display, temperature range and medication good/bad status indicator; and said monitor being utilized both within and separately from said interior volume of said cooling device and so that, upon the temperature within said volume exceeding said programmed range, said device issuing an alert.
