Over 0.7% of Australians have some form of active implant medical device, also known as AIMD. These can range from cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators to cochlear implants and neurostimulators. Many everyday Australians have these devices in their bodies and participate in the workplace, providing various developed skills and expertise to many industries in Australia.

Accurate radon measurement is critical for environmental consultants, occupational hygienists, building assessors, and facility managers responsible for maintaining safe indoor environments. 

Wavecontrol MonitEM-IoT users can now access the configuration application for Android devices from the Google Play Store.

To achieve a high degree of monitoring accuracy, the Wavecontrol SMP3 is a specialised EMF monitoring tool that can support many regulatory EMF monitoring needs, including those for electric vehicle testing to enter the Australian marketplace.

In 2024, Wavecontrol was formally recognised for making a meaningful contribution to help RF/EME engineers and regulators monitor electromagnetic energy from 5G base towers. This contribution was formerly recognised as Case Study 13 in Supplement 32 of the ITU-T K recommendations.

Active implant medical devices, AIMDs, are crucial devices for sustaining and improving the quality of life for many Australians with health conditions. These devices range from pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators to cochlear implants and even implantable devices for diabetic monitoring.
For many of these devices, rigorous testing is applied to ensure that they can sustain operation under conventional applications, and testing for interference from electromagnetic energy is no different.

Irradiator systems are devices or a set of instruments (installation) that use ionising radiation for various industrial and medical purposes. Depending on the type, irradiator systems can be used to sterilise objects (like surgical tools), test or change the physical or chemical properties of an object (such as in plastic production), or as a form of treatment (radiotherapy). 

Beryllium Oxide (BeO) Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) - BeOSL, is a form of passive dosimetry that uses the BeO chips to provide Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) dose equivalents. 

Dosimetrics OSL personal dosimetry solutions are made in Germany, commercially available worldwide since 2013, and distributed locally by ADM Nuclear Technologies.  

Thermo Fisher Scientific designs and manufactures different types of passive dosimeters, which are available locally from ADM Nuclear Technologies.

Dosimetry, in general, is the measurement of ionising radiation (the harmful type of radiation) absorbed by any object, including the human tissue / human body.

SARAD designs and manufactures radiation detection and environmental instrumentation products, including radon and thoron gas monitors.
