Pregnant Radiation workers who have declared their pregnancy in writing to the RSO must be assigned a fetal monitor and may not exceed 500 mrem for the entire gestational period.
A fetal dosimeter can be added to your account to help monitor the radiation exposure over the course of the pregnancy.
Fetal dosimeters are monitored on a monthly basis. If you have an existing monthly group, you can seamlessly add a fetal dosimeter to that group. Simply follow the standard process for adding a new badge and select the option for the fetal monitor.
If you do not have a monthly group, don't worry! You can contact Customer Care for assistance in setting up a fetal monitoring group.
Adding a Fetal Monitor
- Go to the 'Wearers' Tab
- Click on the Monthly group you would like to add the Fetal badge to
- There should be a green check mark next to the group you are in
- There should be a green check mark next to the group you are in
- Click the blue box on the left-hand side titled 'Add Wearers here'
- Fill in the wearer's information. Select the Fetal monitor option from the appropriate badge type and click 'Save Wearer'
In the First Name field, enter "Fetal," and in the Last Name field, input the last name of the individual wearing the dosimeter. This distinction will differentiate between the body dosimeter and the fetal monitor.
If you prefer to receive the shipment immediately rather than waiting for the next wear period, please make sure to place an order.
