Okay, say there's an emergency with the patient being scanned. The people getting scanned are usually very sick.
Say the patient has a heart attack, or can't breathe, or something malfunctioned and caught on fire.
What happens if the door malfunctions? Or the key is dropped/misplaced? Or any similar scenario occurs that delays help when seconds count?
You put a manual override on the electric lock. This is usually done in a way that the person triggering the override cannot also be the person opening the door. They can be well marked and obvious in operation that way as it would require at least two people.
This should only be required in the event of an electric lock failure or some other kind of emergency where the electric lock has some other safety condition(s) that must be met before it will unlock that needs to be bypassed. It shouldn’t be needed on a regular basis.
