ASSA ABLOY releases NATA tested ICU door systems with ‘SL Hygienic ICU 521’

ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions has launched the SL Hygienic ICU door platform, a touchless automatic sliding door solution capable of maintaining desired air pressure, privacy and accoustics.

Carefully engineered for the future of healthcare, SL Hygienic ICU 521 has been designed to control air leakage in a negative pressure environment, assisting in the prevention and spread of infectious contaminants. SL Hygienic is an ideal solution for the health and medical industries for superior infection control, or those industries requiring highly efficient room sealing.  

ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems offers its SL Hygienic doors with one of the industry’s largest door openings, with a 33% wider opening than traditional two-panel door designs. The telescopic functionality features an internal transmission, eliminating noise and delivers a smooth, simple opening and closing.

SL Hygienic helps to minimise external noise, with the option of double or triple insulated glass with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) glazing rating of up to 42. With the SL Hygienic ‘Switch’ option, the door glass will be able to instantly switch from clear to opaque, eliminating the need for curtains, whilst maximising space and privacy.

In addition, users have the ability to program the automatic door to open at any specified distance to minimise air leakage when medical staff enter or program to preferred room requirements.

The SL Hygienic ICU door system can also be utilised as a connected IoT door system to enable the collection and exchange of data.
