Inquire About this Product

Versatile and user-friendly, the RDS-Med survey meter is ideal for healthcare applications such as radioisotope production, radiopharmacies, nuclear medicine, diagnostic imaging, hot labs, and waste disposal. Designed to meet stringent health and safety standards, the RDS-Med survey meter is crucial for medical environments using radiation in diagnosis and treatment.

A clear display and straightforward user interface enable quick assessment of radiation level. Ergonomic, lightweight design, and an included battery cover and belt clip make the meter workflow-friendly.

High Sensitivity for Critical Patient & Staff Safety

The RDS-Med meter can detect a wide range of ionizing radiation, including gamma and X-rays, with the ability to connect to external alpha, beta, and neutron probes. GMP-12/GMP-25 probes and the full CSP™ probe range can be connected with an adequate cable. With both warning and alarm levels, users can know quickly if contamination or dose rates exceed screening levels for decontamination or patient monitoring.
