Tool

Scanner

Scans a patient to reveal whether they are an anomaly. Emits a beam with a 120-second cooldown after each scan; green light = normal patient, red light = anomaly, yellow light (no cooldown) = nothing scanned.

Scanner is a detection tool in Animal Hospital (Anomaly) that reveals whether a patient is an anomaly with a beam that has a 120-second cooldown between scans — green light means normal, red means anomaly, and yellow (no cooldown) means nothing was scanned. It's currently only obtainable through the Secret Agent class, which starts with one, so there's no separate standalone price listed for it.

Effect & Details

Scans a patient to reveal whether they are an anomaly. Emits a beam with a 120-second cooldown after each scan; green light = normal patient, red light = anomaly, yellow light (no cooldown) = nothing scanned.

Source note: Only obtainable via the Secret Agent class (purchased from the shop); wiki does not list a standalone Robux/in-game price. Secret Agent itself is a paid class per the Head Nurse page (one of two Robux-exclusive classes), but that price applies to the class, not the Scanner directly.

Tips & Strategy

  • Use it early on patients you're unsure about — the 120-second cooldown means you can't spam-scan everyone, so prioritize suspicious cases.
  • A yellow light means you didn't actually scan anything, so don't mistake that for a 'safe' result.
  • It's tied to the Secret Agent class rather than being a standalone shop purchase, so unlocking that class is currently the only documented way to get one.
