Question 1

What certifications does Frameshft's ICU hermetic door carry?

Accepted Answer

Frameshft's hermetic doors are certified to BS EN1026:2000 (air permeability) and BS EN12207:2016 (air permeability classification), alongside DIN18650-1:2010, EN16005, CE under the LVD Directive, TÜV, and COC. This full certification stack provides hospital procurement and infection control teams with the documentation required for MOH facility compliance submissions and JCI accreditation audit trails.

Question 2

How does the hermetic door maintain air pressure in an ICU?

Accepted Answer

The door system uses a full perimeter seal that compresses against the door frame on closure, creating an airtight barrier across the threshold. This seal maintains the air pressure differential between the ICU sterile zone and the adjacent corridor. The failsafe motor lock ensures the door holds its closed position securely, preventing unintended seal breach during high-traffic clinical periods.

Question 3

What is the maximum door leaf weight the ICU hermetic door supports?

Accepted Answer

Frameshft's hermetic automatic door supports door leaves up to 1,000kg. The system is driven by a 40V 100W German Dunkenmotoren motor with an integrated motor lock, engineered to handle the structural mass of heavy hermetic door panels required in ICU and operating theatre environments where panel density is necessary to achieve airtight and acoustic performance.

Question 4

Can Frameshft retrofit an existing ICU door opening to hermetic standard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft's retrofit and modernisation service upgrades existing ICU door openings to current BS EN1026 and BS EN12207 hermetic specification without requiring full structural frame reconstruction. This approach is relevant for hospital addition and alteration projects where budget and operational continuity constraints make full replacement impractical. A site assessment is conducted first to determine the scope of upgrade required.

Question 5

Does Frameshft provide ongoing maintenance for ICU hermetic door systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft offers structured preventive maintenance contracts that cover hermetic ICU door systems, including scheduled seal integrity checks, motor lock verification, and sensor calibration. The programme extends to most automatic door operator brands, not only Frameshft-supplied systems, enabling hospitals with mixed installed bases to consolidate maintenance under one contract. OEM spare parts are held in Singapore to minimise rectification lead times.
