OSI Systems Receives Highest Level European Approval for Large Tunnel RTT™ Ultra-High Speed Checked Baggage Inspection System
26 June 2013 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) today announced that its
Security division, Rapiscan Systems, passed the European Civil
Aviation Conference’s (ECAC) Standard 3 threat detection test, the
highest standard set by ECAC for the detection of explosive threats
in passenger baggage with its large tunnel RTT™ 110 (Real Time
Tomography) Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) system that is capable of
handling a wider range of baggage sizes.
The newly approved RTT 110 and earlier approved RTT 80 can
screen bags at up to 1,800 bags per hour, significantly faster than
the CT based HBS systems currently installed at airports. The RTT’s
unique design allows the processing speed of baggage screening to
be at the same rate of speed as airport baggage handling systems,
simplifying new installations or replacement of existing baggage
inspection equipment. With its larger tunnel size, the RTT 110 is
designed to fit the needs of airports that are looking for a hold
baggage scanner that can accommodate larger items and easily
integrate with their existing baggage handling infrastructure.
OSI Systems CEO, Deepak Chopra, commented, “We are excited to
receive ECAC Standard 3 approval for the RTT suite of next
generation CT based inspection systems. ECAC’s testing process is
one of the most rigorous worldwide and is used by many of the
world’s busiest airports, making this an achievement that is
relevant for customers globally. Airports that rely on ECAC
certified systems now have the ability to select the right mix of
RTT models to optimize handling of standard and large baggage while
achieving the highest levels of security.”
