Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this guide describes the landscape of transport-independent applications and information profiles for personal telehealth devices. These profiles define data exchange, data representation, and terminology for communication between personal health devices and compute engines (e.g., health appliances, set top boxes, cell phones, and personal computers).

This standard describes minimum performance requirements and test methods for evaluating the performance of alarming personal radiation detectors (PRDs) for homeland security applications. PRDs are pocket-sized battery-powered alarming electronic instruments that are worn on the body and used to detect photon-emitting, and optionally neutron-emitting, radioactive materials. PRDs have user-readable displays related to the intensity of radiation, but they are distinct from, and typically more… read more sensitive than, electronic personal dosimeters, which are designed to measure the dose equivalent to workers occupationally exposed to radiation. The performance criteria contained in this standard are meant to provide the means for verifying the capability of the PRDs to reliably detect changes above background levels of ionizing radiation fields and alert the user to these changes. This standard also specifies the requirements and test methods for environmental, electromagnetic, and mechanical conditions that may affect the ability of the PRDs to function properly. This standard does not apply to spectroscopic PRDs that have the ability to identity radionuclides. The ANSI N42.48 standard [B12] covers spectroscopic PRDs.1 This standard does not apply to instruments that are primarily intended to provide a measurement of dose-equivalent, personal dose-equivalent, or ambient dose-equivalent rate. However, if the manufacturers of PRDs that provide an indication of personal dose-equivalent rate (expressed in units of mrem/h or μSv/h) claim that the PRD may be used for personal protection, then the PRD shall comply with the applicable radiological requirements described in ANSI N42.20 [B17] (i.e., accuracy, energy, and angle response tests). read less
This standard describes design and performance requirements along with testing methods for evaluating radiation detection instruments that are pocket-sized and worn on the body for the purpose of rapid detection and identification of radioactive materials.

These devices are not primarily intended to provide a measurement of dose-equivalent rate. However, their indication can provide an approximate value of exposure rate that should be reasonably accurate. They are also not meant to provide radionuclide identification at the same level as radionuclide identification detectors defined in ANSI N42.34.1 Successful completion of the tests described in this standard should not be construed as an ability to identify all radionuclides in all environments. read less
Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth thermometer devices and compute engines (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing standards, including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and transport standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This standard defines a common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth thermometers.

These devices are not intended to provide a measurement of dose-equivalent rate. However, their indication can provide an approximate value of exposure rate. They may also be used during initial response to a radiological or nuclear incident as part of a consequence management effort to locate radiation sources and possibly to detect high levels of contamination from gamma-emitting materials. No requirements for consequence management use are defined in this standard. Successful completion of the tests described in this standard should not be construed as an ability to identify all radionuclides in all environments. read less

The scope of this standard is to establish minimum performance criteria and test requirements for nonalarming radiation detectors used to manage the exposure of emergency responders to photon radiation. The detectors shall provide rapid and clear indication of the level of radiation exposure. Emergency responders include fire services, law enforcement, and medical services. Other possible users include critical infrastructure key resources (CIKR) such as heavy equipment, transportation, and… read more utility personnel and members of the public who may be involved in emergency situations. PERDs can be of two types, either alarming electronic or non-alarming. Both types of PERDs have radiation response ranges appropriate for radiation emergencies. Alarming PERDS are addressed in ANSI/IEEE N42.49A [B8].1 (Alarming PERDS can alarm on exposure rate, accumulated exposure, or both.) Non-alarming PERDs are ionizing photon radiation measuring devices that provide a visual indication of the accumulated exposure to the user and are designed to be worn or carried on the body of the user. These detectors do not have an audible or visual alarm. These detectors should provide an indication when recommended exposure guidance levels have been reached or exceeded. The typical users of non-alarming PERDs are responders performing time-sensitive, critical missions such as saving lives or property, and/or otherwise mitigating the effects of radiological emergencies. This standard provides a graded approach to assessing the performance of multiple types of non-alarming radiation detectors. The applicability of each type should be evaluated by the user. These detectors may include carbon fiber detectors and self-developing photochemical detectors. The carbon fiber detectors are designed for many reuses as described in ANSI N322-2009. The photochemical detectors are designed for a single emergency exposure or use. PERDs are not used to monitor personnel exposure for the purposes of confirming compliance with regulatory exposure limits, i.e., their indications are not intended to be used for accumulated exposure monitoring records for individuals, but are intended for emergency use. read less
