Requirements: Ligature Resistant Sliding Door Systems (LR-SDS) are required for use in patient rooms of an acute behavioral health care environment.

The LR-SDS is required because it substantially eliminates risk of self-harm to behavioral health patients and significantly exceeds the risk mitigation capabilities offered by competing methods such as over the door alarms installed swinging doors. Instead of monitoring self-ligature attempts with failure prone electronic components the door system eliminates the potential for self- ligature.
