New Technologies; MEDACX has introduced the XCAT handheld detection device that provides rapid detection for; Explosives, Gun-shot Residue and Narcotics [drugs of abuse ranging from cocaine to fentanyl to ketamine, to designer drugs such Mephedrone and so-called bath salts which contains structures synthetic cathinones which are referred to today as new psychoactive substances [NPS] these are unregulated and dangerous and sold as cheap substitutes for methamphetamine and cocaine. XCAT detects over 31 different illegal drugs including ‘bath salts’.

Explosives, Narcotics and Gunshot residue detection: XCAT is a truly portable handheld device that uses ‘low cost’ test cartridges to enable detection screening meaning to wipe of surfaces, powders, clothing, vehicles, offices, hands to list but a few. The XCAT provides a ‘rapid’ YES/NO answer and specific test cartridges help you screen for groups of Explosives or Narcotics or in the case of Gun-shot residue it targets just that, the detection proof that if traces are found on a person’s clothing it would validate that they either expelled a firearm or were in close proximity of a firearm being used. XCAT detection enables ‘sweeps’ of buildings or difficulty spaces or places where potentially a ‘sniffer dog’ cannot reach, or for businesses of professional teams that do not have specialist dog teams, they can use XCAT as their personal detection devices for events such as; public rock festivals or concert arenas where security teams can utilise XCAT to help them check on event and public safety. XCAT is being used by border forces and Prisons to manage and control potential smuggling of drugs.
