TA - Model FM-9-ABNI -Portable PET, Iodine, or Tc-99M DTPA Air Monitor for Gas & Particulates
The FM-9- ABNI uses a standard charcoal filter in TA`s unique quick change, no leak holder to trap any airborne Radio Iodine. The filter is under constant surveillance via a thin window scintillation detector. Air is drawn by a regulated pump through a three-foot inlet hose and exhausted via a flow meter through another three-foot hose. These may be extended to allow monitoring of hoods, glove boxes, stacks, etc. Time is recorded by an odometer type timer wired into the pump circuit. Portable PET, Iodine, or Tc-99M DTPA Air Monitor for Gas & Particulates. Use in Hospitals, Research Labs, Power Plants, National Labs. High Sensitivity, Constant Check with Alarm and Record capability. Integrated Exposure.

The FM-9- ABNI Air Monitors assure safety against airborne radioactivity contamination by means of constant check with alarm and record capability. It provides integrated exposure information and can provide hard copy via external printer or computer.
It is a complete system and may be expanded per need with modules of the FM-9 series.
The FM-9- ABNI is more sensitive and versatile version of the broadly used long time standard, the FM-5-ABNI. The FM-9- ABNI may be used to monitor stack effluent down to EPA levels as well as hoods, glove box or workplace air.
Hospitals: Protect workers, patients & the public.
- Use as Iodine Monitor for thyroid assessment & treatment areas
- Use as a Positron Monitor for all PET scan facilities.
- Use as a Tc-99m DTPA Air Monitor for areas where bone scans and DTPA lung function studies take place.
Power Plants: Protect Workers & the community
- Use in radiation building.
- Use in containment.
