YSO vs. NaI: NaI is easily deliquesced NaI is toxic NaI is fragile NaI needs to be sealed in aluminum alloy to prevent deliquescing and damage, increasing the size and weight of the detector YSO vs. Ion Chamber: Ion chamber needs to be large in order to have good detection capability At the same size, YSO has much higher sensitivity Ion chamber is extremely sensitive to the environment (i.e. humidity, temperature, air pressure)

Why do the devices have a low upper limit on their dose rate range?
The dose rate upper limit, 1 mSv/h, is 100 mrem/h when converted to traditional units, which isn’t too low. A comparable competitor’s model, Thermo Scientific’s RadEye PRD, has an upper limit of only 25 mrem/h (250 µSv/h). Our devices’ sensitivity is very high at 340 cps/mrem/h (34 cps/μSv/h) for RadTarge II and RadPavise; as a trade-off, the upper limit on the dose rate cannot be quite as high. The next iteration of these devices, which will be available in October 2015, will have an upper limit of 10 rem/h (100 mSv/h). However, the sensitivity will not be as high as the
