Product Description

the RADStickerTM peel & stick, postage stamp sized, instant color developing dosimeter, is always ready and with you 24/7, stuck onto the back of your drivers license or anything you keep close, for any future radiation emergency. RADStickerTM, a stockpileable personal casualty dosimeter provides wearers (public, medical personnel and law enforcement personnel) timely personal radiation exposure information in an event of an accident at a nuclear power plant or a nuclear or dirty bomb explosion. The objective of this low cost RADSticker is to quickly determine need for medical treatment and minimize the panic. RADSticker has a sensor (a rectangle strip between the color bars) with 25, 50 and 100 rad bars on its bottom and 200, 400 and 1,000 rad bars on its top for triaging information and medical treatment in emergencies. When exposed to radiation, the sensor of RADSticker develops color instantly. The color changes are permanent, cumulative and proportional to dose. RADStickerTM is made under U.S. Patents #7,227,158; 7,476,874 and others. The technology was developed with multimillion dollar funding from several U.S. agencies, such as DHS, DOD, DOJ, DOS, DHHS and TSWG and was field tested by the DHS with 800 first responders in the states of NJ, NY and IL Each order includes an instruction sheet showing how to use Radstickers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good cheap notification for high radiation exposure June 30, 2011

By G. Rogers

This dosimeter works at a very high range. Lowest rate is 25 Rads or 25 Rem. That amount of radiation would make a few people sick (if received in a short time). At the higher ranges of 50 to 1000 Rads - well the point at which 50% of people die is 500 Rem or 500 Rads.

So this dosimeter is for the detection of high radiation, after the fact.

Having said that I would recommend this for anyone that lives near a reactor, get a packet of these for an emergency. They will help the medical personal treat you for radiation sickness. Keep them protected from any radiation before use.

Good Luck

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work. Why 2 Stars instead of 1? Well it might eventualy change colour at Turtle Lethal Range of 15krad November 22, 2012

Irradiated it with a directional Co-60 beam with a dose equivalent of 200 rads. The sticker was stuck to my wallet so I just placed the wallet at the target zone, walked behind a shield and opened the pig. Sent about 200 rads of equivalent radiation onto the target area. No percivable change in sticker color after 1 day after exposure (I gave it time to adjust).
However, it appears that some of my credit cards in my wallet that were behind the sticker have been wipped. Since the machines can't read the magnetic strip even through the "Plastic Bag around the strip" trick.

P.S.
Since the sticker doesn't have a "Fit" gauge there is no way of knowing if it hasn't been thermally compromised but even then it should have changed colour. And no it's been in my wallet so no UV exposure (once again if it was exposed to UV it would have changed color...believe me I know from many scary experiences of what not to do with those things and where not to leave them).

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Panic March 22, 2012

I will be applying this RADSticker onto the back of my library card, "I never leave home without it". This little device is meant to carry with you at all times.

As a previous reviewer noted,

"This dosimeter works at a very high range.",

This is true. It is also meant to give an accumulative reading over the life of the device.

also noted,

"...50% of people die is 500 Rem or 500 Rads."

This sticker is not just for instant readings. It is used as an accumulator device. 500 RADS in a short period of time can be a terrible thing. 500 RADS over the course of a year does not mean that 50% have been given a death sentence.

Having said that, it is prudent to check your RADSticker on a regular basis. You could be exposed to a moderate dose without knowing. Since you check your RADSticker on a regular basis, you are ready with the baseline reading in case of a radiological event.

This gives you the knowledge to share with medical staff if you feel that you have been exposed to a high rate over a short period of time.

Buy one for the spouse and kids. I do not have a spouse or kids, If I did I would make a picture locket and place my picture inside and the RADSticker on the back of the picture.

P.S. I have purchased several of these awesome devices to send to my circle of goto people.
