Fentanyl Cartridge –FentaScan™: Changing the Landscape of On-Site Fentanyl Detection
In the face of a relentless opioid crisis, fast, accurate, and reliable detection tools are no longer optional—they are a necessity. Every second counts when it comes to identifying potentially lethal substances like fentanyl. This synthetic opioid, 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, continues to drive overdose deaths across the United States and beyond. To meet this growing threat, Ovus Medical proudly introduces the Fentanyl Cartridge – FentaScan, a cutting-edge solution designed for rapid, on-the-spot fentanyl detection using spectroscopy-based analysis. Whether you’re a first responder, law enforcement officer, medical provider, or part of a harm reduction organization, this cartridge is a game-changer.
The Fentanyl Cartridge is engineered to work seamlessly with the FentaScan handheld analyzer, forming a compact yet powerful system capable of detecting fentanyl and many of its analogs in just seconds. Unlike traditional test strips that require dissolving substances in liquid or destructively opening packaging, the FentaScan Cartridge offers a non-destructive, contactless, and lab-accurate approach to drug detection. This innovation not only enhances safety but also saves valuable time during high-pressure situations.
The Growing Danger of Fentanyl
Fentanyl continues to dominate headlines—and for good reason. According to the CDC, over 70,000 deaths in 2022 were attributed to synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl. It’s often laced into other drugs without users’ knowledge, making nearly every encounter with street drugs a potential overdose event. Emergency departments and law enforcement are regularly overwhelmed by overdose cases, many of which could have been prevented with earlier detection. This is where the Fentanyl Cartridge – FentaScan shines—giving professionals a precise, fast-acting tool to make life-saving decisions before it’s too late.
How the Fentanyl Cartridge Works
The Fentanyl Cartridge is a pre-loaded, single-use component that connects to the FentaScan reader. It requires no calibration, mixing, or training to operate. Once inserted into the device, it uses infrared spectroscopy to analyze a substance—often through its packaging. The result? You get an accurate identification of fentanyl compounds in seconds, minimizing risk and eliminating unnecessary delays.
This simplicity doesn’t come at the cost of accuracy. The cartridge has been tested against a wide array of fentanyl analogs and delivers 100% accurate results when used with the reader. This makes it one of the most trusted tools available in the field of drug detection today.
Built for Professionals Who Need Answers Fast
Speed and reliability are not luxuries in the field—they are life-saving requirements. The Fentanyl Cartridge was built with this reality in mind. Medical professionals can make more confident diagnoses, law enforcement can take informed action, and harm reduction teams can provide better support. The entire detection process takes under a minute and doesn’t expose the operator to dangerous substances.
Because the cartridge allows non-destructive testing, officers can scan pills, powders, or bagged substances without opening them—significantly reducing exposure risks. This feature is particularly valuable in environments where contaminated surfaces or airborne particles pose serious threats.

A Safer Way to Test Fentanyl
Traditional methods of detecting fentanyl often require handling dangerous substances directly. This increases the risk of exposure, especially for those who encounter drugs on a regular basis. Fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled as fine powder—both of which can result in serious health effects or overdose. The FentaScan system, paired with the Fentanyl Cartridge, eliminates these risks by allowing users to scan sealed packages and receive instant identification without physical contact.
This is not just a convenience—it’s a layer of safety and security for the professionals who risk their lives every day in the fight against opioid abuse.
