• Regulatory compliance: Dedicated narcotics safe meets the traceability and security requirements demanded by hospital pharmaceutical regulations.
• Capillary organization: 67 drawers identifiable via label allow subdivision by active ingredient, batch or ward, reducing picking errors.
• Controlled access: Centralized code lock limits opening to authorized personnel, preventing theft and untracked use.
• Loading flexibility: Telescopic shelf and fixed shelves allow adaptation to medicines of different sizes without sacrificing capacity.
• Durability in humid environments: Anti-corrosive epoxy resin treatment on 10/10 steel preserves structural integrity in environments with high humidity and frequent cleaning.

The cabinet is intended for hospital wards, private clinics, care centers where centralized storage of medicines with high security requirements is necessary. Typical application is in hospital pharmacies, inpatient wards, emergency rooms and anesthesia services, where the segregation of narcotics is mandatory by regulation.

The limited depth (535 mm) and vertical dimensions (2000 mm) make it suitable for rooms with limited space, allowing integration into wall cabinets or at centralized distribution stations.

Choosing this cabinet is right when the hospital or clinic requires a compact but high-capacity solution that does not compromise the security and traceability standards of controlled drugs. It is the ideal choice if:

- It is necessary to physically segregate narcotics in a dedicated safe without resorting to multiple containers;

- The available space is limited in width and depth but not in height;

- Rapid identification of medicines is required through systematic labeling on drawers;

- The structure must withstand frequent cleaning cycles and environments with controlled humidity.

It is not indicated if a mobile solution is needed, easily movable or if a subdivision by temperature is required (thermolabile drugs require separate air-conditioned cells).

How many medicines can it contain and how are they organized?

The cabinet houses up to 67 drawers of 150 mm in height. Each drawer is identifiable via label and can contain different units of the same medicine or different active ingredients depending on the facility’s pharmaceutical organization protocol. The 10 fixed shelves provide structural support and also allow the insertion of large packages on the shelves themselves, next to the drawers.

Is the narcotics safe removable or integrated?

The safe is an integrated and fixed element inside the cabinet. It has a code lock independent of the main shutter, thus allowing a double access barrier for controlled drugs. It is not removable as it is part of the internal structure.

What regulation governs the use of this type of cabinet?

The cabinet complies with the storage and security requirements provided by Legislative Decree 219/2006 and AIFA Guidelines for the storage and distribution of medicines, with particular reference to the segregation of narcotics. Each hospital facility must however verify compliance with current regional pharmaceutical safety protocols.

What is the difference between this and a simple locker with a lock?

Unlike a generic locker, this cabinet is specifically designed for drugs: drawers with label protection, internal safe dedicated to narcotics, anti-corrosive treatment compliant with hospital environments, and sizing that meets traceability regulations. A simple locker does not guarantee the mandatory segregation of controlled drugs.

Is it possible to install the telescopic shelf in different positions?

The telescopic shelf is installed in a predefined position of the structure, designed to offer flexibility in the height of the stored medicines. However, its exact location depends on the construction design; changes require verification with the manufacturer so as not to compromise structural strength.

Is the access code customizable?

Both the shutter lock and the safe lock are equipped with a code lock. Customization of the code is generally carried out during installation and delivery by the hospital facility according to its own security protocols; the subsequent change depends on the type of lock installed.
