Instadose Companion

Mirion Technologies, Inc.

About this app

Instadose® is a smarter radiation monitoring platform that is simplifying administration, reducing costs and transforming how staff are monitored and safeguarded from radiation over-exposure. Now immediate dose reads can be captured by internet enabled computers or smart phones and tablets.

The Instadose® Companion mobile app wirelessly communicates and securely transmits accumulated dose data from Instadose®+ and Instadose®2 digital dosimeters to Mirion servers where dose information is archived in the wearer’s legal dose of record. Automatic dose reads are performed on an established calendar setting (set by your account administrator) and manual dose reads can be performed at any time by pressing the button on the back of the dosimeter for 4-seconds. Successful transmission occurs when the dosimeter is in range of the mobile device with the Instadose app opened and “searching for devices” appears on the main screen. Dose results, history, and wearer/dosimeter information can be immediately viewed (by the individual wearer or admin only) directly on the app after a successful transmission.

Ratings and reviews

I'd really prefer to use my computer rather than my phone to take this reading. Comp has bluetooth, badge has bluetooth, seems like a no-brainer. Also, there's no discernable reason why this app needs location access, especially asking for location access all the time/background. App did read my badge the one time I tried to read it. Took a minute or so. Oddly, dosage was 0mrem, but that's from a couple hours in a room with a C-arm, so plausible.

The most infuriating, poorly programmed app I've ever been forced to put up with. I'm constantly graded poorly by my employer on the inability of this app to function properly. *IF* the app will successfully "connect, query, read, and send" my badge, you have to do it at least 5 times before it will ACTUALLY send and populate in your "read history." I have received a negative review multiple times because the app says "finished reading badge" when in fact, it did nothing.

Ridiculous having to use my phone over an office computer when I'm having to read ALL clinic badges. Difficult to get readings, rarely connects appropriately, constantly having to scan all badges multiple times. Still doesn't connect into the AMP+ website. App now stating I need WiFi to connect and read while my phone IS connected to WiFi. I've got to remove all permissions to keep it from draining my battery, etc, etc... Nightmare of an app.
