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

Worked fine for years until my company upgraded my dosimeter. since then, I get notifications 10 times a day that it needs to have an internet connection. My phone is on 4g/5g 99% of the time, but it isn't happy unless I am connected to wireless and there are no settings I can find to have it use data instead. I finally turned the notifications (that it REQUIRES you to turn on) off. How about bringing your app that my company forces me to use into the 21st century?

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.
