Record-USA’s unique position latching system on their manual ICU doors is different from that of the competition in that it latches inside the header and not on exposed vertical members which is the norm.

Studies have shown that manual ICU doors that incorporate side latching systems offer further complications in crisis situations in that patient IV lines may become entangled and cause injury or slow the required hasty transportation of the patient in an emergency.

Used in tandem with an easy to grasp handle system provided on each side of the door itself, the positive latching system secures the active leaf firmly in place when the door is closed. This prevents the all too common occurrence of the ICU door gently re-opening when softly slid shut by the nursing staff.

Since the door remains securely shut, the patient is allowed to rest peacefully without fear of interruption common in active hospital environments. Once the positive latch handle is depressed, breakaway capability is once again readily achievable.

Regardless of the configuration, whether it be standard single slide, bi-part or telescopic slide, all Record-USA series 5900 Series manual ICU doors have identical header site lines to simplify aesthetic concerns.
