• Instantly pinpoints location of ferromagnetic items
• Patented technology suppresses irrelevant warnings/false positive alarms
• 12 location-accurate sensors for uniform sensitivity, reliability, and usability
• Constantly monitors the ambient magnetic field and provides early visual warning of approaching ferromagnetic items
• On-demand, no-touch activation safeguards against cross-contamination
• Consistent screening, either self- or supervised-screening
• Conforms to ES60601-1-8 international standards for medical device alarms and IEC 60101-1: 2025 medical device specification requirements.
The Department is looking for companies that can provide this equipment and is seeking information on the company's capabilities, experience, and pricing.
