Xtract One Technologies to be used for hospital weapons detection screening in Manitoba

Xtract One Technologies today announced its Xtract One Gateway has been selected to protect key hospital locations in Manitoba, including at the province’s Health Sciences Centre and Crisis Response Centre locations operated by Shared Health.

The system will redefine the security experience by not only balancing powerful threat detection with seamless flow for individuals but also enhancing safety standards and optimizing operational efficiency.

"Healthcare environments today face two security challenges: providing top-tier security while ensuring that both patients and caregivers feel safe and comfortable," said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One. “This is a trend we’re seeing across the healthcare sector, where providers are actively looking for solutions to these growing challenges, and we welcome the opportunity to play a role in securing health facility environments.”

Xtract One’s portfolio of screening solutions is designed specifically for scanning individuals and their belongings, allowing seamless passage through checkpoints and reducing the need for separate bag searches, thereby improving screening times dramatically. Gateway unobtrusively scans individuals, their pockets, their bags, and their backpacks for potential mass casualty weapons while distinguishing harmless personal items like laptops, tablets, three-ring binders, notebooks, eyeglass cases, keys, and phones, streamlining access into and out of facilities without disrupting the flow of movement.
