iCAM™ Upgrade Kit

for iCAM Gross Alpha Version

The iCAM GA Upgrade Kit for iCAM Gross Alpha Version enables users to disable radon compensation and extend archive capabilities to include gross alpha counts per region of interest (ROI), airflow rate, and beta short-term and long-term gross counts. With just a firmware update and iCONFIG adjustment, the iCAM GA delivers enhanced detection of higher-energy alpha particles — including radon progeny — supporting more accurate monitoring and streamlined compliance without hardware replacement. 

Tag Features

  • Medical Isotope Monitoring: Detect Pb-212, Ac-225, and Ra-226 in real time.
  • Radon Compensation Deactivation: Enables direct measurement of total alpha concentration, including radon progeny.
  • Extended Data Archiving: Logs alpha, beta, and airflow data for reporting.
  • Software-Based Upgrade: Unlock GA functionality through firmware only—no hardware replacement required.
  • Comprehensive Installation Kit: Includes updated firmware, iCONFIG files, and configuration cable.

Description

The upgrade kit is a targeted enhancement for existing iCAM MK3 units (software version ≥ 2.20.0), offering advanced capabilities for continuous monitoring of gross alpha activity in the air and improved protection for workers in production facilities and radiopharmacies.

Enhanced Monitoring for Medical Isotopes
This upgrade empowers users to detect high-energy alpha emitters such as Pb-212, Ac-225, and Ra-226, which are commonly used in radiopharmaceutical production and research. By disabling radon compensation, the system provides a more accurate representation of total alpha concentration in air—including radon progeny—critical for safety and compliance.

Ideal for radiopharmaceutical market
Designed for use in:

  • Commercial radiopharmaceutical production facilities
  • Government research laboratories
  • Radiopharmacies
  • Isotope production centers
  • Administrations (Hospital)

The kit supports organizations seeking to upgrade their installed iCAM base to the GA version without the need for hardware replacement. The upgrade is software-based, preserving existing infrastructure and workflows.

The iCAM GA Upgrade Kit extends your existing iCAM system for use in radiopharmaceutical production, radiopharmacies, and research environments. With firmware and software enhancements, it enables accurate, real-time monitoring of medical isotopes such as Pb-212, Ac-225, and Ra-226 — supporting worker safety and regulatory compliance.

Applications

Designed for Radiopharmaceutical & Research Environments

Purpose-built for radiopharmaceutical facilities, isotope production centers, and government or commercial research laboratories, the iCAM GA Upgrade Kit delivers a cost-effective path to advanced airborne alpha monitoring. By expanding the measurable alpha energy spectrum, it helps evaluate worker exposure and maintain compliance in complex isotope-rich settings.

Quick Installation and Compatibility

Compatible with iCAM MK3 and V2 systems (software ≥ 2.20.0), the upgrade installs in approximately 30 minutes. Each kit includes firmware, iCONFIG installation files, configuration cable, and a step-by-step guide. Requires Windows 10 or later, or Windows 7 with .NET Framework 4.8.
