Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A hospital weapons detection system screens individuals entering healthcare facilities for concealed weapons while allowing medical equipment, personal belongings, and everyday items to pass through without alerts. These systems use AI-powered detection to identify genuine threats rather than simply responding to any metal object.
Modern weapons detection systems for hospitals process patients, visitors, and staff at natural walking speeds without requiring divestment of bags or pockets. This maintains patient flow through emergency departments and main entrances while providing security personnel with accurate threat information.
Walk through metal detectors alert on any metal object, creating constant interruptions in healthcare settings where individuals carry phones, keys, medical devices, insulin pumps, and mobility equipment. Security staff must manually check each alert, creating bottlenecks at critical entry points.
Xtract One’s AI-powered weapons detection distinguishes between threatening items and everyday objects. The system identifies concealed weapons while ignoring laptops, tablets, medical equipment, and personal belongings that patients and visitors routinely carry.
Xtract One Gateway screens both the individual and their carried bags simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate bag checks or X-ray machines. SmartGateway processes individuals at a natural walking pace without divestment requirements. Both systems provide security screening without disrupting patient care or creating the delays associated with traditional metal detectors.
Xtract One systems process up to 3,000 individuals per hour while walk through metal detectors typically can handle 500-600 individuals per hour due to frequent alerts and manual screening requirements.
Emergency departments maintain continuous patient flow because individuals walk through at their natural pace without stopping to empty pockets or remove bags. There are no bottlenecks from false alerts on medical devices or everyday items.
Security interventions occur only when the system detects actual threats. Your staff focuses on genuine security concerns rather than managing queues or manually checking routine alerts from pacemakers, insulin pumps, and personal electronics.
Xtract One systems support healthcare compliance through privacy-by-design architecture. Gateway and SmartGateway store all data locally on-device. No Protected Health Information (PHI) is captured, processed, or stored.
The systems undergo annual penetration testing and employ role-based access controls with three distinct permission levels. All security documentation, including ISO 27001 and HiTrust reports, is available upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
Xtract One View, the cloud-based management platform, retains only statistical data for 13 months, date, time, scan result, and system identifier. No walkthrough images or detailed scan data pass to or are stored within Xtract One View. The platform operates entirely within AWS infrastructure located in the United States.
Xtract One systems detect firearms, knives (SmartGateway only), and other prohibited weapons carried on the body or within bags and personal belongings. The AI-powered detection classifies the type of threat object and identifies its location without alerting on everyday items.
Gun detectors within the Xtract One Gateway system recognize various firearm types while distinguishing them from laptops, tablets, three-ring binders, and medical equipment. Weapons detection systems identify genuine threats without the constant false alerts that plague traditional metal detectors in healthcare environments.
Detection settings can be customized for your facility’s specific security requirements. The systems adapt to different threat profiles while maintaining accuracy in environments where individuals routinely carry medical devices and electronic equipment.
