MediLock™ Lock Kit Secures Medical Items
Easily, Quickly and Inexpensively
The MediLock healthcare and safety security lock kit secures controlled substances and expensive items without drilling or installing costly internal locks. By attaching to pre-existing storage pieces, MediLock easily allows compliance with federal regulations and keeps medical items safe and secure.
Lakeville, MN – December 1, 2008 – Before now, complying with a federal regulation* stating that all drugs and biologicals must be kept in a locked, secure area meant that medical facilities and safety personnel must purchase many expensive storage pieces with integral locks to accommodate staff needs.
Now, with the MediLock healthcare and safety security lock kit, securing controlled substances and expensive items is easy, inexpensive and no longer requires purchasing new storage pieces. Installing the MediLock kit is simple: the MediLock bases use 3M’s VHB (very high bond) adhesive to adhere one base to the side and one base to the door of a storage piece for a very strong, permanent bond. This means no expensive, destructive drilling which could damage internal parts of the storage piece. Just attach the included padlock to the cable loops on the two bases, and the storage piece is secure.
MediLock is perfect for securing access to medical coolers, refrigerators, freezers, cabinets and supply closets. It’s also a great solution for securing mobile medical carts in a dedicated location.
Also included in the MediLock kit is a “Secured Area” sticker to direct users to authorized personnel for access (per federal regulation*). Information can be written on the sticker with a permanent marker.
To accommodate a wide range of storage needs, two sizes of the MediLock kit are available. The MediLock kits’ colors are designed to blend with a variety of finishes: white, black, dark brown, silvertone and ivory. Also, bright safety red is offered for situations where the secured status of the storage piece must be obvious.
Included with the kit is a quality, keyed padlock from MasterLock®. The 2-pack MediLock set includes two keyed-alike MasterLock® padlocks.
