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.

This app is rubbish. Struggled to even connect to tye badge, was told by support that my wifi is pribably blocking instadose. What a complete load of rubbish. I tried at home and at work. Now every time I try to look at a reading the app crashes as I apparently downloaded a lot of readings in one go. Yes. All 12 of them. FFS

CONSTANTLY sends notifications even if the app is closed and you've set it not to search for dose badges. Most irritating app ever. Also, doesn't let you connect to a badge if you've disabled notifications. It's like they hate everyone that has to use it.
