A comparable competitor’s model, Thermo Scientific’s RadEye PRD, has an upper limit of only 25 mrem/h (250 µSv/h). Our devices’ sensitivity is very high at 340 cps/mrem/h (34 cps/μSv/h) for RadTarge II and RadPavise; as a trade-off, the upper limit on the dose rate cannot be quite as high. The next iteration of these devices, which will be available in October 2015, will have an upper limit of 10 rem/h (100 mSv/h). However, the sensitivity will not be as high as the previous versions.
