MHOS-S

Contamination monitor for hospital waste with built-in scale

Gamma monitor that measures radioactive contamination in hospital waste in small bins or bags. The measurement starts automatically when the container is placed on the scale, and weight and activity give the concentration in Bq or Bq/g. On alarm an alarm column gives luminous and acoustic signals, and printers produce a green or red label for each measurement.
