In the late 1980s S.E. International, Inc. entered into collaboration with International Medcom of Sebastopol CA. Together we successfully produced the first small handheld survey meter with a built-in 2-inch pancake Geiger tube. For many years and for both companies, S.E. International, Inc. was the original and sole manufacturer of the brand named “Radiation Alert® Inspector” as sold by SEI and the “Radalert® Inspector” as sold by International Medcom.
After 20 years of working together, we parted ways and now both companies are independently producing versions of the original instrument as the Radiation Alert® SEI Inspector USB and the IMI Inspector Alert.
To help you in distinguishing between the two instruments, we changed the SEI Inspector USB enclosure to the current SEI blue with rounded edges, extra grip serrations, and a redesigned label. For those of you that use our patented Wipe Test Plate, the rails are now part of the enclosure. Among other revisions, we have also added on-board memory, a back lit display, free Observer USB software, and built-in efficiencies for commonly used isotopes. Now with a full one year warranty, you can be assured the SEI Inspector USB is made in the USA and is still the reliable instrument that has become an industry standard.
