Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HSM SECURIO P40i HSM1884M NSA approved?
The product data states that the P40i in its L6 (1 x 5 mm) OMDD Combi configuration, which this article is, appears on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for paper shredders dated July 2025. Listings are revised and approval attaches to the exact designation, so confirm the current edition with your security officer before buying for classified work.
What classes does the OMDD unit on the HSM1884M reach?
It cuts optical media and cards to 2 x 2 mm, giving O-6 for optical media and T-6 for data carriers, the top classes DIN 66399 defines for those materials. HSM lists CDs, DVDs, credit and loyalty cards and floppy disks for the unit.
Do staples need to be removed on the P40i 1 x 5 mm with OMDD?
Yes. HSM lists paper alone for the 1 x 5 mm head on this article and does not include staples or clips. Fine P-7 teeth are vulnerable to metal, so allow time to prepare documents. Article 1884121N adds metal detection if that preparation cannot be guaranteed.
How does the HSM1884M compare with the P44i 1 x 5 mm with OMDD?
Both share the P-7 paper class and 2 x 2 mm OMDD unit. The P44i is larger, taking 11 sheets rather than 9 through a 400 mm throat into a 205 liter bin. Choose the P40i when floor space is tight; choose the P44i when paper volume or width drives the decision.
What consumables does the P40i HSM1884M use?
A liner for the 145 l paper container, either HSM's reusable collecting bag or the P36i/P40i cardboard disposal box, plus HSM cutting block special oil for the automatic oiler. None are included, so order a first supply with the machine.
