Laboratories hold samples and equipment that should be handled only by trained staff. Here is how to control entry.
Key takeaways
- Trained staff only
- A trace of entries
- Zones inside the lab
- Alerts
01The problem
A laboratory is not a corridor. Samples, reagents and valuable equipment sit behind its doors. A reader on the door and a log of entries ensure that only trained staff enter and that any problem can be traced.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Door and lock | Suitable for a lab |
| Zones | Inner rooms as well as the main door |
| Cleaning and contractors | Temporary access |
| Records | Retention period |
| 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 a hospital laboratory already has, in the words your reader would use, then show what changes. Quote the full scope for a hospital laboratory, including cabling, power, installation, training and maintenance, and say plainly what the system does and does not do.
