HAWTHORNE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
OSI
Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "OSI Systems") (NASDAQ: OSIS) today
announced that its Security division has received orders valued at
approximately $16 million for ETD systems and related supplies and
accessories from multiple customers, including several major airlines
that seek to comply with the recent U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) directive for enhanced screening on U.S. bound passenger flights.
In July 2017, DHS announced an enhanced security directive, requiring
additional passenger screening at greater than 200 final points of
departure to the United States. In response to this directive, air
carriers were given various alternatives to achieve the additional
screening measures, including the utilization of ETD systems. The
Company has ramped up production, installation, training and program
management teams to support increased demand as a result of this
directive.
OSI Systems' Chairman and CEO, Deepak Chopra, commented, "We are proud
to assist with this important DHS security directive, which is designed
to improve security on flights into the U.S., and to announce
that several leading airlines have chosen to partner with us."
