The RDS-Med is a portable radiation survey meter designed for precise monitoring of ionizing radiation in healthcare facilities.
Compact and lightweight, it provides accurate and reliable dose rate measurements in nuclear medicine departments, radiopharmacies, radiology rooms, hot labs, and waste areas.
Compliant with IEC 60846-1 and ANSI 42.17A/C standards, the RDS-Med ensures high-accuracy readings for staff and patient safety.
Its large graphic display, intuitive navigation, and rugged IP67 design make it suitable for routine use in demanding clinical environments.
The built-in energy-compensated GM detector measures gamma and X-rays, while optional external probes detect alpha, beta, and neutron radiation.
Configurable warning and alarm thresholds immediately alert the user if dose or contamination levels exceed defined limits.
