Section 1 – Introduction 1.1 QS-B220 I NTRODU CTION The QS-B220 is a real-time explosives and drugs trace detector. The spectrometry component of the detector is an Ion Mobility Spectrometer with novel non-radioactive ion sources utilizing patented photon-ionization and corona technologies developed by Implant Sciences Corporation. The QS-B220 is designed to detect the presence of trace explosives and drugs on a surface. 1.2 T HEORY OF O PERAT ION A trace sample is collected onto a trap material which is inserted into the system. The sample trap is heated to release vapor from any explosive and narcotic traces that were collected. The vapor is drawn into the ionization chamber, ionized, analyzed, and exhausted from the system. If an organic compound of interest is found, the system processes an Alarm. Explosives and drugs detection and identification is based on the measurements of molecular ion mobility within a drift tube. The ion source is tuned to ionize specific classes of molecules. After pulsed ionization, ions start their journey to the collector, pulled or drawn by an electrical field within the drift tube. Small ions arrive earlier, the larger ions move slower and arrive at the collector later. Every molecular ion has its signature in the arrival time, which allows the ions to be identified.

QS-B220 User Manual 35 Section 2 – Operating Instructions 2.6.8 S I EV E M AI N T E N A N C E Access: Supervisor, Administrator The QS-B220 sieve is a type of desiccant, used to dry the air inside of the drift region and to filter organic molecules from the dry air stream. The QS-B220 system employs alumina-based molecular sieves with a porosity sieve of 5 Ǻ. The sieve must be replaced periodically to ensure accurate detection of trace explosives and drugs. The Sieve Maintenance feature allows the user to change the sieve canisters without powering off the system. Figure 29: Sieve maintenance The frequency of sieve changes is dependent on the atmosphere surrounding the QS-B220. A system that is running in a humid environment is likely to require a sieve change every few weeks, and a system that is operating in a dry location may not need to change the sieve for several months. The QS-B220 monitors internal humidity, and when the humidity exceeds a pre-set threshold the system will display a “High Humidity” message at the top of the screen. This warning indicates that the sieve material needs to be replaced. The QS-B220 allows for sieve replacement reminders to display on a multi-week basis – see the QSB220 Settings section for more information. 42400026 Rev G QS-B220 User Manual 36 Section 2 – Operating Instructions Figure 30: High humidity warning Sieve Change Instructions: 42400026 Rev G 1.

Explosive and narcotic compounds can be detected on a variety of surfaces, e.g. clothing, luggage, packages, vehicles, etc. Using a sample trap is an effective way to search quickly. Implant Sciences strongly recommends the use of sample traps provided with the QS-B220, as they are contaminant-free. Implant Sciences cannot guarantee system performance if an unapproved trap material is used, as the use of unapproved traps may degrade detection performance. Sample traps may be used several times unless they have collected a substance that produces an alarm, have been torn or shredded, or have become excessively dirty or oily. Any of the conditions mentioned would be cause to discard the sample trap and use a new one. Samples with traps can be taken by hand or with the Implant Sciences Sample Wand. The QS-B220 sample wand is a means of sampling various surfaces without the user using his or her hand to swipe the surface. The sample wand is an effective tool for taking samples in tight spaces. It is not recommended that one vigorously wipe surfaces. In cases of volatile substances, such as nitroglycerine, TATP and HMTD, the heat generated by the friction of rubbing can cause the microscopic quantities of explosives and drugs to decompose.

The Clear Down button is also the mechanism for acknowledging an alarm when in silent alarm mode. Clear downs are performed automatically after each sample and calibration/verification to remove remaining substances from the IMS detection cells. The software will attempt a preset number of clear down cycles if the system is identified as being contaminated. If these clear downs are successful, the display will indicate “Ready to Sample”. If the unit has failed to clear down, the user may choose to perform manual clear down cycle, which is initiated on the Main Menu by selecting Clear Down. This is the recommended method for most situations, since all users can access it. A stronger cleaning procedure is to perform a Cleaning from the Maintenance menu.

The table below will explain basic troubleshooting techniques to determine the cause of the problem and present information on potential ways to overcome these conditions and return the system to an operational state. The system’s IMS detectors contain heaters and provide airflow in order to maintain its environment. The heat and airflow allows the QS-B220 to operate cleanly and efficiently. During periods of inactivity when the QS-B220 is not powered on, some contamination may build up that can cause problems such as calibration failure and false/repeated alarms. Additionally, humidity levels may elevate inside the system and compromise its detection capabilities. It is recommended that the system is powered ON whenever possible. If this is not possible, and the QS-B220 has been in storage for a significant amount of time, the QS-B220 should be powered up 12 hours prior to its expected use to obtain optimal performance. If the system has been shipped via air an extended powered ON period of 24 hours is recommended prior to use to achieve optimal performance levels. 4.2 I MPLANT S CIENCES C ORPORATION C ONT ACT I NFORMATION If technical assistance is required, contact Implant Sciences at: Phone: +1 978-752-1700 Email: service@implantsciences.com 42400026 Rev G QS-B220 User Manual 104 Section 4 – Troubleshooting 4.3 M ESSAGE T ABLE This table is a brief overview of the messages that may appear in the QS-B220 banner at the top center of the user interface touchscreen.

However, after repeated use, contaminants may accumulate on the sample trap. Before sampling, visually inspect traps for any discoloration (figure 1). Always discard sample traps after a positive alarm, as well as after the verification procedure or if the trap appears dirty. Figure 129 Sample Traps Using gloves It is essential for all operators to wear powder-free nitrile gloves when sampling passengers, as to not contribute any excess hand contaminants to the sample. 5.2 H OW 5.2.1 HA N D SA M P LI N G EFFICIENTLY S AMPL E HANDS When sampling hands during passenger screening, it is important to not apply excessive pressure onto the sample trap. Detection is more effective when the trap is applied to the hands with light pressure. Furthermore, using light pressure also prevents excessive hand contaminants, such as hand oils, lotions, and cosmetics from being introduced into the system. These substances may interfere with the detection of certain target substances 42400026 Rev G QS-B220 User Manual 114 Section 5 – Guidelines for hand Sampling 5.2.2 RE CO M M EN D E D S AM P LI N G T E CH N I Q U E S W I T HO UT S A MP LI N G W AN D Hold sample trap at the base end and, in a sweeping motion, lightly graze the surface of back of the hand AND palm of the hand. Repeat on the opposite hand and analyze. Do not apply any pressure (figures 2, 3). Sample hands in a unidirectional motion (figures 4, 5). When searching for trace amounts, this is sufficient enough for detection of target substances. Figure 130 Sampling technique 1 Figure 131 Sample technique 2 Figure 132 Front side Figure 133 Back Side 42400026 Rev G QS-B220 User Manual 115 Section 5 – Guide Lines for hand sampling 5.2.3 Recommended Sampling Technique with Sampling Wand 1. Use clean, powder-free Nitrile gloves to prevent excessive hand contamination from soiling the trap. With the sample wand in one hand, use your free hand to grip a sample trap from the straight end. Insert the trap into the inlet area on the opened portion of the sample wand. The sample trap should be placed into the insert inlet area notched end first. Figure 134: Insert trap into sample wand 42400026 Rev G QS-B220 User Manual 116 Section 5 – Guide Lines for hand sampling 2. With the sample trap securely in place, grip the end tab of the sample wand head and push in to close. Figure 135: Close sample wand on trap 3. 42400026 Rev G If necessary, pull gently on the top exposed end of the sample trap to tighten. Pulling too hard may remove the trap from the sample wand. QS-B220 User Manual 117 Section 5 – Guide Lines for hand sampling 4. In a unidirectional sweeping motion, lightly graze the surface of back of the hand. Figure 136 Back Side 5. In a unidirectional sweeping motion, lightly graze the surface of the palm of the hand Figure 137Front Side 42400026 Rev G 6. Verify that the system status is displaying Ready to Sample. The sample wand is now ready to use for sampling. To analyze, open the sample wand head, remove the sample trap and insert into the QS-B220. 7. When prompted, remove the sample trap 8. At the conclusion of sampling, the QS-B220 will display an alarm popup or no alarm popup. QS-B220 User Manual 118 Section 5 – Guide Lines for hand sampling 5.3 How NOT to Sample When sampling, do NOT place finger near the insertion end of the sample trap and apply downward pressure onto the hands/palms of the passenger (figure 8). By doing so, more hand contaminants are being harvested, which may actually interfere with or suppress the detection of target substances.
