A Devore soldier uses a scanner

The Devore scanner was a scanner used by the Devore species.

It had two prongs on the front, a grill along the rounded bottom edge and a single screen the holder could monitor. It was capable of telling whether a person had telepathic abilities or not, so boarding parties were often equipped with them. Though this required the scanning of each crewman individually. (VOY: "Counterpoint")

In 3190, Haz Mazaro told Cleveland Booker that he was offering a special on Devore scanners and modified scan deflectors. Doctor Ruon Tarka complained that the scanners could not "pick out a Betazoid standing all alone in a Nieser cage." Nevertheless, he later was able to modify one to create a force field to trap a Changeling. (DIS: "All In")

The prop representing the Devore scanner was later used as Mobar's scanner and religious item in "Live Fast and Prosper".
