The sickest patients need quiet and control. See how a controlled door protects an ICU.
Key takeaways
- Controlled main door
- An intercom
- Fewer people near the sick
- A record
01The problem
An ICU cannot have the door held open for every visitor. Infection risk, noise and the sheer number of people near fragile patients all rise when access is loose. A controlled ICU door, an intercom, a visitor window of time and a clean record of who entered keep the unit calm and protected.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Door layout | Main door and any side doors |
| Hands-free open | Exit by sensor or button |
| Visitor routine | Times and numbers agreed |
| Hygiene | Readers suited to cleaning |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
| Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers |

06How to put it to the hospital
Start with the problem an ICU already has, in the words your reader would use, then show what changes. Quote the full scope for an ICU, including cabling, power, installation, training and maintenance, and say plainly what the system does and does not do.
