PUBLIC SAFETY
The Magnascanner has been tested in accordance with and meets the electromagnetic
safety requirements of:
•
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers: “A Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.” IEEE C95.1- 1991 section 4.12;
•
Occupational and Safety Health Administration: “Radiation Protection Guide,” CFR
1910.97 section (2)i;
•
National Institute of Law enforcement and Criminal Justice: “Standards for Walk-
Through Metal Detectors for Use in Weapons Detection,” NILECJ-STD-0601.00 sec-
tion 4.11;
•
Canada Health and Welfare:“Performance Standards (walk-through)”, RPB-SC-18
section 3.2.2 which addresses the issue of electromagnetic effects to cardiac
pacemakers.
Our research has produced no information which would indicate that the Garrett prod-
ucts would have any adverse effects on medical implants, pregnancy, recording media,
or magnetic strips. Any additional recommendations or directives issued by personal
physicians or medical equipment manufacturers should be followed. If, for any reason
(e.g., doctor’s orders, etc.), a patron objects to being scanned with a metal detector, it
is recommended that an alternative procedure (e.g., manual hand search, non-admit-
tance, etc.) be a part of the overall security plan.
