Seed SensorTM

Features
• Ideal for a quick survey of implant rooms and needle loading  stations
• Sensitive to 50 cm for the lowest energy prostate implant  sources
• Small, fits easily into a lab coat pocket, 1.25” x 3.25” x 6.25”
• Geiger-Mueller tube detector
• Activity: a 1 mCi palladium seed can be detected at  100 cm
• A 41 cm diameter field is covered at a 100 cm distance
• Power: one alkaline 9 VDC battery, estimated battery life is 20  hours

The Seed Sensor™ radiation monitor is highly collimated so the detector can locate a loose seed in a needle loading work area. The detecting area is as directional as a flashlight which helps to quickly identify the position of a lost seed on a table or in a room. Other survey meters are typically unable to locate a small, implant seed because they are not to be directional.

The Seed Sensor™ is shielded to resist extraneous radiation and to reduce background radiation so it is very useful in detecting sources in areas where other radioactive sources are located.
