Responder®
$1,199.00
Description
Medcom’s founders have deep roots in emergency response and a longtime passion and commitment to serving first responders. The Responder has been optimized to perform in the challenging environments faced by first responders, without compromising sensitivity. The instrument detects alpha, beta, gamma and x radiation. It combines durability, shock and weather resistance with high sensitivity in an instrument with extremely long battery life that is easy to use and relate to. With a Responder you can protect your own health while protecting the health of the environment and the community that you serve.
Each Responder comes in an IP67 rated waterproof enclosure, with an operation manual and a Certificate of Conformance. A Quickstart Manual on basic radiation safety for first responders is also included with each instrument. A NIST Calibration Certificate can be supplied on request. We can also provide your department logo on your Responder instruments. Please Contact Us for details.
Specifications
