CT007 Personal Radiation Detector | Environmental Instruments Canada, Inc.

General Description
Designed primarily for use by First Responders, the CT007 is a very small, non-intrusive, low-cost personal radiation detector, with no buttons or screens that communicates wirelessly with a smart phone. User interface functions are provided by the phone. When unusual radiation readings are encountered, the phone vibrates/rings to alert the user and the readings are then shown on the phone's display.
Using the phone's networking capabilities, the detector's readings can be monitored from a central location and expert advice can be given. The most important features are:

1) Cost. By eliminating the user interface and higher level logic from the CT007, the unit cost is less than one third of the radiation detectors currently used by first responders.
2) Space. There is limited amount of space on the officers’ belts. By eliminating the user interface, the CT007 is approximately one third of the volume and less than one third of the weight of the radiation detectors currently used by first responders.
3) Focus. The officers do not want another gadget that they need to handle and requires their attention. They want something that is in a pouch, on their belt, and they can forget about it, until they need it.
4) Coordinated Response. The CT007’s capability of logging radiation data in real time, so it can be centrally monitored, is a definite advantage over radiation detectors currently used by first responders.

Technical Description
Simple Geiger Muller tube based radiation detector. Connects via Bluetooth to a Smart Phone, running an app. Smart Phone provides the user interface, audio and vibrator alarm, as well as networking capabilities.
