Seamless Smartphone Communication Solutions ---------------------------------------------------------- The AccuRad App is the companion mobile interface for the Mirion AccuRad PRD, and also the bridge between emergency responders on the ground and command center software, providing real-time geospatial and radiological data relay so agencies can get access to the information they need, when and where they need it. ====================== ACCESS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS ====================== CONNECTED The AccuRad app can be used to connect and transmit device data to a variety of management software platforms, including RadResponder, Sigma and SpirVIEW software. INFORMED The app has a library of how-to videos, to aid in the operation and maintenance of the AccuRad PRD. SIMPLE The app has an intuitive interface with basic navigation and a user-friendly menu, making it easy to view information, modify settings and set up remote reachback connections. SECURE The AccuRad PRD complies with all relevant current international standards (IEC, IAEA, ANSI) for data sharing, which includes messaging (email, SMS) and reachback connectivity. ==================== ABOUT THE ACCURAD PRD ==================== The AccuRad personal radiation detector (PRD) is built to help first responders and law enforcement detect and locate sources of harmful nuclear radiation, to keep their people and the public safe. It’s the first PRD developed in close collaboration with in-the-field professionals, resulting in a world-class radiation detection device that works like they do – it's tough, consistent, and in it for the long haul.

The STE App is the Bluetooth-enabled application for mobile devices to connect with STE radiation detectors. It provides a real-time detection interface in support of Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) and Explosive Ordinance (EoD) Missions. The app contains several features, including radiation exposure, accumulated radiation dosage, geospatial data and a data sharing capability that are primarily used by emergency responders to allow them to take action quickly and decisively. STE App allows the user to connect the STE detectors to mobile devices using Bluetooth communication technology. It enables the user to stream the detector data (gamma and neutron) directly from the detector to a mobile device in real time. Device Connection: Each time the STE device is turned on, Bluetooth communications are enabled, and the device is available for connection for two minutes. If the pairing is successful, the user can view the real time data stream for gamma and neutron detection in the application. Once the device is found and linked to the app, the device ID will be automatically stored in the app. Data Streaming: After the successful connection, a waterfall graph and a display meter show the level of gamma detected in real-time, with options to select units such as CPS, µR/h, µrem/h, and µSv/h. STE detectors equipped with neutron detection are visible on the app and measure counts. Once the count rate exceeds the threshold (trip) value, the detector and mobile device will started alarming. Users can toggle between the screens to select various functions of the app. Geo-Mapping: The app has an intuitive interface with a basic navigation system. That will display the "trace history" of where the detector has been carried. If the device detects radiation and sounds an alarm, the map will trace that information with colors. The exact location and address will be recorded in the alarm data. Data Sharing: STE app compiles all the relevant data that can be shared via emails, SMS, and other methods available on the mobile device.
