Security screening device and systems and methods of using the same

A method comprising:

• performing a security screening within a secured area, the security screening comprising:
• using a medical device identifier to determine, based on a comparison of identifying information associated with the implanted medical device with a plurality of digital templates corresponding to different registered medical devices, if an implanted medical device of an individual seeking entry into the secured area corresponds to a registered medical device among a list of registered medical devices, wherein the medical device identifier communicates with a computing device, wherein the computing device is in communication with a database that stores information associated with a plurality of registered medical devices, and wherein the computing device is configured to:
• receive an output from the medical device identifier that is indicative of identifying information associated with the implanted medical device;
• determine if the identifying information associated with the implanted medical device corresponds to a registered medical device among the list of registered medical devices by determining a manufacturer, a model, or a registration status of the implanted medical device;
• and
• provide an output indicative of the determination of whether the identifying information associated with the implanted medical device corresponds to a registered medical device.

A security device comprising:

• a device body;
• a metal detector coupled to the body and configured to identify a nearby presence of a metallic material and to provide an output indicative of the nearby presence of the metallic material;
• and
• a medical device identifier coupled to the body and configured to provide an output indicative of identifying information associated with an implanted medical device of an individual seeking entry into a secured area;
• a computing device configured to receive the output from the medical device identifier;
• and
• a database storing information associated with a plurality of registered medical devices, wherein the information stored by the database comprises a plurality of digital templates corresponding to different medical devices of the plurality of registered medical devices,
• wherein the computing device is in communication with the database and configured to:
• determine, based on a comparison of the identifying information with the plurality of digital templates, if the identifying information associated with the implanted medical device corresponds to a registered medical device among the list of registered medical devices by determining a manufacturer, a model, or a registration status of the implanted medical device;
• and
• provide an output indicative of the determination of whether the identifying information associated with the implanted medical device corresponds to a registered medical device.

A screening and defibrillation device comprising:

• a device body;
• a defibrillator coupled to the device body and configured to deliver electrical current to an individual's heart;
• and
• a medical device identifier coupled to the device body and configured to provide an output indicative of identifying information associated with an implanted medical device of the individual;
• a computing device configured to receive the output from the medical device identifier;
• and
• a database storing information associated with a plurality of registered medical devices, wherein the information stored by the database comprises a plurality of digital templates corresponding to different medical devices of the plurality of registered medical devices,
• wherein the computing device is in communication with the database and configured to:
• determine, based on a comparison of the identifying information with the plurality of digital templates stored in the database, a manufacturer, a model, or a registration status of the implanted medical device to determine if the identifying information associated with the implanted medical device corresponds to a registered medical device among the plurality of registered medical devices;
• and
• provide an output indicative of the determination of whether the identifying information associated with the implanted medical device corresponds to a registered medical device.
