What is it indicated for?

The SSMPD is intended as a general use clinical laboratory gamma radiation counter. The SSMPD is designed for use by operators qualified to measure gamma-ray emissions from radiolabelled reagents within particular energy bands or energy regions of interest (ROI) as part of diagnostic radioassay or radioimmunoassay methods. The standard quantitative units of measure reported are the measured count per minute (cpm) and the calculated disintegrations per minute (dpm).

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
