Southern Scientific - HandHound Wall Mounted Contamination Monitor
Voice activated, touch screen, wall mounted contamination monitor. The HandHound has been designed mainly for use in "wet-chemistry" radio-isotope handling situations where hands could be contaminated. It has been designed to help with HSE compliance, by keeping a record of hand contamination measurements taken.
Our Radhound radiation monitoring electronics are incorporated in a stainless steel enclosure with a high sensitivity collimated detector, so that any contamination can be detected on hands.
The background is updated while the unit is not in use. A proximity sensor ensures the user`s hands are underneath the detector, the user then speaks their name and says `continue`. The system will begin counting for a pre-determined period, set by the supervisor.
A touchscreen interface is also incorporated, to allow configuration and manual triggering if needed.
The Handhound is mains-operated and will find application in `wet` labs using gamma isotopes, in corridors, work areas and laboratories.
