or.co.uk Keeping Brachytherapy Equipment secure with Obexion
As cancer treatment advances, more hospitals are creating specialized brachytherapy departments, requiring both space for equipment and strong security. Large Linear Accelerators stay fi xed and can be powered down, but mobile brachytherapy devices, which use live radioactive isotopes, demand constant protection. As they deliver higher radiation doses, layered security is vital. One Midlands hospital installed both security-rated personnel doors and an Obexion roller shutter from Charter Global to safeguard its brachytherapy unit. The Obexion shutter is independently certifi ed by the Loss Prevention Certifi cation Board to LPS 1175 D10 (SR4) standard. This means that even if the outer personnel doors were breached, the shutter gives an additional 10 minutes of resistance to attack by hand tools and power drills. The control keypad allows staff to have individual PIN codes, giving complete traceability of who operated the shutter last and to limit access to only approved team members. The Obexion shutter range has a number of specialist features, including fast deployment in the case of emergency and a unique Lockdown mechanism ensuring that the shutter self-locks at all points of closing, so it cannot be forced open, even when partly closed.
