Seeker^® Metal Detectors / SAFETY & SPECIFICATIONS

 

MSE Group, LLC, the manufacturer of Seeker^®Plus Metal Detectors and SeekerOne™ Metal Detectors, makes every effort to ensure our metal detectors are safe to use. The electromagnetic fields produced by the Seeker^® Metal Detectors are similar to those encountered in the daily environment and meet the United States and International standards for electromagnetic emissions.

 

MSE Group, LLC recognizes that certain medical devices may have additional requirements which may require special care. We recommend that individuals using medical devices should follow specific information provided by the medical device manufacturers and medical practitioners. The medical device manufacturers and medical practitioner often provide information through information booklets and medical cards. If the individual being scanned with a Seeker^® Metal Detectors for any reason or reasons objects to the scanning process we recommend that an alternative procedure be used.

 

Research has found no information that would indicate Seeker^® Metal Detectors have adverse affects on pregnancy, medical implants, magnetic strips or recording media.  If you have requirements for additional information please contact the medical device manufacturers directly or visit the websites listed.
