HAWTHORNE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
OSI
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider of
specialized electronic products for critical applications in the
Security and Healthcare industries, today announced that the Rapiscan
620 DV multi-view advanced baggage scanner has passed the "Type C"
standard set by the European Commission for Civil Aviation (ECAC) for
detection of liquid explosive threats, as well as other potential
threats. The 620DV meets the upcoming EU deadline to relax current
restrictions on the ability of passengers to carry-on liquids onto
airplanes.
Rapiscan President Ajay Mehra commented: "We are pleased to achieve this
major milestone for European aviation passengers and airports. The
Rapiscan 620DV has been proven in aviation checkpoints around the world.
The 620DV AT not only meets regulatory standards for threat detection
around the world, it has significant operational benefits including
smaller footprint, greater energy efficiency, and reduced weight
loading."
The Rapiscan 620DV has also been approved for use by the US
Transportation Security Administration for both aviation checkpoint
screening and air cargo screening. The 620DV AT is one of the most
widely deployed multi-view checkpoint X-ray screening systems. It can
also be used for critical non-aviation applications such as air cargo
screening, military checkpoints, customs inspection and protection of
national infrastructure. The 620DV generates multiple views of scanned
items, which allows operators to identify threats faster, improving
checkpoint throughput and pinpoints potential threats so the item can be
found immediately.
