Detecting Vapes
with MSD Plus®
The MSD Plus was specifically designed to detect ferrous items, including vapes concealed on the person or in body cavities quickly and easily. The pre-assembled design allows the MSD Plus to be easily transported and operational in 10 seconds, where a random checkpoint can easily be setup in locations including outside a classroom, in a hallway or doorway.
MSD Plus EVO™: A Smarter Solution for School Safety
Vaping has become an increasing challenge for schools, affecting both student health and the learning environment. Because vaping devices are small and easy to conceal, they are often used in bathrooms, classrooms, and other areas where they can be difficult to detect. This can disrupt instruction, create disciplinary challenges, and make it harder for schools to maintain a safe campus.
The MSD Plus EVO™ pass-through configuration provides consistent, high-sensitivity detection across openings up to 4 feet wide, enabling efficient screening of students and visitors while maintaining reliable performance from pole to pole.
Detection of Vapes and Unauthorized Ferrous Items
Purpose-built to identify vapes and other ferrous contraband concealed on the body or in body cavities, achieving capabilities that go beyond what conventional walk-through detectors can provide.
Multi-Zone Targeting Indication
9 zone combinations pinpoint the exact location of detected items on the body, enabling faster, more targeted secondary screening and reducing overall resolution time.
Full-Height, 360° Detection
Horizontal and vertical detection coverage across the entire portal height ensures complete screening with no blind spots, regardless of where an item is concealed.
High Sensitivity and High Immunity
Delivers unmatched detection without major adjustments. Superior immunity to external electromagnetic interference ensures consistent, reliable performance wherever the unit is deployed.
Fully Weatherproof and IP65 Certified
Rated IP65 for full protection against dust and water jets. Built for reliable outdoor use as well as indoor for security needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the MSD Plus actually detect vapes?
Yes. The MSD Plus was specifically engineered to detect vapes and other ferrous items, including those hidden in body cavities. Its high-sensitivity ferrous detection technology targets the ferromagnetic components in vaping devices that standard walk-through detectors are not designed to find.
Is it safe for students with pacemakers or medical implants?
Yes. The MSD Plus is fully certified safe for individuals with pacemakers and other medical implants. Its electromagnetic field poses no risk to implanted medical devices, making it appropriate for all school and public facility screening environments.
How quickly can it be set up in a new location?
The MSD Plus is fully operational in under 10 seconds. Its one-piece design and 22 lb total weight mean a single officer can carry and deploy it in any location, a hallway, a doorway, a gymnasium entrance, or an outdoor checkpoint, without tools or lengthy configuration.
What does the multi-zone indication feature do?
The multi-zone targeting system uses 9 zone combinations to identify the specific area on the body where a detected item is concealed. This allows security personnel to conduct fast, targeted secondary screening, maintaining throughput while resolving alarms accurately.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. The MSD Plus is IP65 certified and fully weatherproof, protected against dust and water jets from any direction. It is designed for reliable outdoor checkpoints.
How long does the battery last?
The MSD Plus provides up to 60 hours of maximum continuous operation on a single charge.
What is the MSD Plus EVO™?
The MSD Plus EVO™ is a pass-through configuration that extends the transit width up to 4 feet while maintaining constant detection sensitivity from pole to pole.
