RADTriage
RADTriage is an instantly color developing, self-indicating, user friendly, wearable, light weight (a few grams), failproof (no electronic, no moving parts), needs no battery, reader, maintenance or software, unaffected by ambient conditions, always ready 24/7, practically non-destructible, tamper resistant, tamper evident, a highly reliable & robust emergency dosimeter.

RADTriage
- RADTriage is the only dosimeter with right dose range to instantly triage the exposure for medical treatment and minimize panic & worry in an event of a radiological incident.
- Wearable, reliable and failproof (no moving parts or electronic).
- Sturdy, ready 24/7 without a battery, reader or maintenance.
- Unaffected by ambient conditions such as sunlight, humidity, water, temperature and tamper resistant and temper evident.
- Stockpileable for at least a decade without calibration.
- One needs only an eye to read the RADTriage. Other dosimeters require readers and/or software which may not be available/usable after a few years.
- Small enough (credit card sized) so ~100,000 dosimeters can be stockpiled in a cubic meter of space.
- Readily deployable in an emergency.
- RADTriage has all these & many more properties.
WHY TO CARRY & STOCKPILE RADTriage?
- In a radiological incident, one of the first thing one wants to know is “am I exposed to radiation and how much?”, i.e., one needs an instant dosimeter/answer.
- RADTriage is highly reliable and the ONLY “seeing-is-believing” dosimeter that meets the requirements of an emergency dosimeter for citizens and first responders to minimize panic and worry and triage radiation exposure for medical treatment.
- RADTriage is instantly color developing, self-indicating, user friendly, wearable, light weight (a few grams) failproof (no moving, no electronic or needs no battery, reader, maintenance or software), unaffected by ambient conditions, always ready 24/7, practically non-destructible, tamper resistant and tamper evident.
- In an emergency, one needs to monitor only medically significant dose from 50 mSv (tolerable and yearly allowed dose. A CT scan dose can be as high as 50 mSv) to 10,000 mSv (a lethal dose).
- All other dosimeters are expensive, bulky, fragile, and/or require calibration, software/App, battery or a reader. None are readily deployable in an emergency. They are either over or less sensitive and can cause panic and worry. RADTriage has right dose range; 50 mSv – 10,000 mSv.
- Public and government can afford to purchase and stockpile RADTriage. RADTriage costs a penny a day compared to nearly dollar a day for other dosimeters.
- ~100,000 RADTriage can be stockpiled in a cubic meter of a freezer for decades and distributed/deployed to public in shortest time.
- In case of nuclear explosion, only RADTriage will work as it has no electronics or require electronic equipment to read the dose.
INDEPENDENTLY TESTED BY WORLD’S TOP LABORATORIES

FIT INDICATOR
- An indicator for monitoring (i) false positive, (ii) false negative, (iii) time, (iv) temperature, (v) time-temperature (expiration) and (vi) tampering.
- If used as per instructions, under all normal uses and circumstances, RADTriage will not give a false positive or negative signal.
- It is very difficult to tamper and make the sensor of RADTriage to give a false positive or negative signal.
- Under very abnormal circumstances or intentional tampering, e.g., very prolonged exposure to heat (e.g., six months at 50°C), heating above 100°C and UV/sunlight (one week of intense summer sunlight), RADTriage can give false signals but such tampering can be easily noticed from the color of the FIT indicator.
- Users and first responders do not need to be concerned or spend time to confirm, especially in an emergency, about the exposure is genuine or not. If RADTriage is tampered in any way, it can be seen just by looking at the FIT indicator.
- No other dosimeter has any kind of indicator, e.g., false positive, negative, expiration, effect of high temperature, UV light or tampering.
- FIT indicator makes RADTriage a highly reliable dosimeter.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Effect of dose rate: Negligible.
- Energy dependency: Negligible.
- Effect of temperature of radiation: Negligible.
- Effect of average humidity: None.
- Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
- Effect of light: Little for a week under average sunlight and a few months under ambient lights. It has FIT indicator to monitor such over exposures to heat and UV light.
- Monitoring: Monitors 20 – 10,000 mSv of X-ray, electrons & neutrons Tamper & Water resistant: The sensors are heat sealed to make it tamper resistant.
- Water & Laundry: Waterproof, survives a few laundry cycles.
- Recommended service life: Two years at 25°C (stockpileable for 10 years in a freezer at minus 15°C).
- Barcode: Each card has its own unique barcode in the back.
RADTriage Technology
US Department of Homeland Security field tested RADTriage/SIRAD with 800 first responders from New Jersey, New York and Illinois in 2006. The study recommended use of RADTriage by military, first responders and public.
In supporting development of RADTriage, CTTSO sought to make available in market place a rugged, reliable and affordable casualty radiation dosimeter for use by military, public safety, other critical response personnel and public.
Out of 50,000 RADTriage we sold after the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant incident, we received only three minor complains about the FIT indicator in the two years of use.” AucSale, Tokyo, Japan, a distributor.
8,000 RADTriage were used in the field by first responders in Israel for two years. We did not receive even a single complaint. Given the superb performance of RADTriage in the field, we are confident of another order from IMOD.” Dr. Guy Robin, a distributor in Israel.
