What type of dosimeter is Instadose?
The Instadose® dosimeter is a small, rugged dosimeter based on proprietary direct ion storage technology. This breakthrough technology provides radiation workers with a precise measurement of radiation dose and includes accurate long-term exposure tracking.
What is Instadose?
The revolutionary Instadose®+ dosimeter is a digital radiation monitoring device based on proprietary Direct Ion Storage (DIS) technology for accurate, real-time and long-term exposure tracking.
How do I read my Instadose dosimeter?
To “read” the Instadose® USB-compatible dosimeter, it must be inserted into the USB port of an internet- enabled computer that has the Instadose® software installed. Select “Read Device” on the My Account screen on instadose.com. Wait for the transmission to finish.
How do you check Instadose?
Users also have the option of downloading the Instadose® mobile app to a smart device (phone or tablet) for online account access. When a user needs to view their dose reading, they simply log-in to their account, download their data and click “Read Device”.
What is TLD badge?
TLD Badge is a radiation dose measuring device. This enables us to know whether we are working within the safe dose limits prescribed by AERB.
How much does a dosimeter cost?
These devices frequently cost from about $200 to more than $1,000 each, depending on specific characteristics and the number being purchased. Some companies that offer various versions of these electronic dosimeter devices are available through the link to the HPS Buyer’s Guide cited above.

What are two common radiation hazards?
Exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as being close to an atomic blast, can cause acute health effects such as skin burns and acute radiation syndrome (“radiation sickness”). It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
How do I reduce radiation in my body?
Gently washing with water and soap removes additional radiation particles from the skin. Decontamination prevents radioactive materials from spreading more. It also lowers the risk of internal contamination from inhalation, ingestion or open wounds.
Who controls TLD?
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is responsible for maintaining a list of all active TLDs, as well as managing domains and IP addresses across the internet. The ICANN recognizes three main domain suffix categories.
What is OSL in radiology?
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is a methodology that can be employed in personnel dosimetry to determine the “dose of record.” It is an alternative to thermoluminescent dosimetry. 3. • It is an alternative to thermoluminescent dosimetry and film dosimetry.
