OSI Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider
of specialized electronic products for critical applications in the
security and healthcare industries, announced today that its
Security division, Rapiscan Systems, has received �approval for
use� from the United Kingdom�s Department for Transport (DfT) for
its Rapiscan 620DV (Dual View) Advanced Technology Baggage and
Parcel X-ray system � one of only two checkpoint solutions
worldwide to have achieved this status. The Rapiscan 620DV system
is a checkpoint screening solution designed specifically to detect
aviation-based threats while improving checkpoint operations. The
system represents one of the most advanced checkpoint inspection
systems in the world with multiple views and dual energy X-ray
sources for material discrimination. With these varying angles,
screeners can more readily identify potential threat objects �
leading to increased throughput, fewer delays and less hassle
during the passenger screening process. Rapiscan Systems President,
Ajay Mehra, stated, �The DfT is recognized as one of the world�s
leading regulatory agencies, so we are particularly pleased that it
has approved the Rapiscan 620DV for use at aviation checkpoints in
the United Kingdom. We believe that the Rapiscan 620DV offers an
unsurpassed combination of threat detection and lower total cost of
ownership, while at the same time meeting one of the world�s most
stringent regulatory standards.� About OSI Systems, Inc. OSI
