Detection Capabilities

Infection Identification

The BioScan-7 detects infected subjects through elevated body temperature:

Stage	Temperature Range	Detection Accuracy
Healthy	36.5-37.5°C	N/A
Stage-1 (Carrier)	38.5-39.5°C	95%
Stage-2 (Shrieker)	39.5-41.0°C	98%
Stage-3 (Behemoth)	41.0-43.0°C	99%

Wall-Penetration Mode

Experimental Feature - Firmware v2.3+

Can detect heat signatures through:

Drywall: Up to 15cm
Concrete: Up to 8cm
Metal: Limited effectiveness

Warning: Wall-penetration mode reduces battery life by 40%. Use sparingly.

Field Usage Guidelines

Best Practices

✅ Scan perimeter before entering buildings
✅ Use in conjunction with visual confirmation
✅ Calibrate daily (auto-calibration at startup)
✅ Clean lens with provided microfiber cloth
✅ Store in protective case when not in use

Common Errors

❌ Scanning through thick concrete (>10cm)
❌ Using in extreme heat (>45°C ambient)
❌ Relying solely on thermal data (verify visually)
❌ Forgetting to charge batteries

Maintenance

Daily

Wipe lens with microfiber cloth
Check battery charge level
Verify display clarity

Weekly

Full battery charging cycle
Firmware update check
Protective case inspection

Monthly

Professional calibration (Checkpoint Alpha workshop)
Battery replacement if capacity < 80%

BioScan-7 device
Rechargeable battery (2x)
AC/DC charger
Protective hard case
Microfiber lens cloth
Quick reference card
Wrist strap

Optional Add-ons:

Extended battery pack (16-hour runtime)
External display mount
Data logging module
Tripod adapter

Field Reports

The BioScan saved my squad's ass in Sector 7. Detected 5 Shriekers hiding in a warehouse before we walked into an ambush. Thermal imaging doesn't lie.
— Cpl. Martinez, Delta Squad

Battery life could be better, but overall an invaluable piece of kit. Wouldn't enter the zone without it.
