Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
What fireproof cabinet is best for dental office patient records?
Dental offices holding patient records typically need HIPAA-compliant storage that also provides fire protection. A fireproof lateral or vertical filing cabinet with a key lock or combination lock provides both fire protection and controlled access. For digital record environments, a UL Class 150 data-rated or Class 125 media-rated cabinet protects backup drives, optical discs, and digital storage from fire temperatures that would destroy digital media even within a standard Class 350 cabinet. Paper-based patient files are protected in standard UL Class 350 rated fireproof cabinets.
