HGVI
Hand-held, Multi-Sensor Gas & Vapor Identifier for TICs and CWAs

enlarge

Feature Highlights

  • Multiple sensors (orthogonal techniques) working together in one instrument
  • Driven by H-Fusion™ , advanced software developed to interpret results of multiple sensors
  • Non-radioactive IMS source
  • Automatic Detection, Identification and Monitor modes of operation

Additional highlights

  • Rugged and lightweight
  • Easily decontaminated
  • Identifies a broad range of CWAs and TICs (from the ITF-25 list of High and Medium Hazards)
  • Gamma radiation detection
  • ReachBack, 24/7/365 technical support

    The HGVI utilizes advanced software combined with multi-sensor technology to reduce false positives, increase accuracy, and build confidence in results. The HGVI is driven by advanced H-Fusion™ Decision Enhancement Software designed to analyze data collected from three versatile sensor technologies built on:

    • Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS)
    • Photoionization Detection (PID)
    • Taguchi Gas Sensors (TGS)

    The HGVI is the only hand-held instrument capable of rapid detection, identification and quantification of TICs and CWAs, and it switches automatically between these modes.

    Designed in cooperation with First Response teams, the HGVI is simple to operate in Level-A gear and in any environment. Weighing only 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg), the HGVI is easily carried or ported by its shoulder strap into the Hot Zone.

    The HGVI combines cutting edge engineering with trusted technology to fill the gap in first response chemical threat assessment.

    Smiths Detection, the leader in detection and identification devices, has supplied over 80,000 hand-held chemical detection instruments to military, first response, law enforcement, transportation, ports and borders, and critical infrastructure personnel worldwide.

    HGVI is a trade mark of Smiths Detection
