International Medcom designs and manufactures high quality radiation detection instruments and environmental monitoring systems. These devices have a multiplicity of applications in a wide range of market segments including public health and safety, environmental protection, industrial safety, medicine, physics education, scientific research, and homeland security. The Radalert^® and Inspector Alert are used by many fire departments, police departments, and other emergency response agencies. Our custom-designed environmental monitoring systems are used in community radiation monitoring networks, including those near Three Mile Island and Seabrook, and in perimeter-monitoring security systems for public events in major metropolitan areas throughout the world.

This is a normal reading in California, below the average background radiation level – which is about 40 Counts Per Minute with the Inspector Alert. So, this this Geiger counter is showing safe conditions.

Please note that International Medcom has moved to larger offices in Sebastopol, California! See our Contact page for more details.
