Touchsafe’ dosimetry measurements
The Sartest ‘Touchsafe’ hand-held meter measures, in situ, the rate of absorption by body tissue of electromagnetic energy emanating from an emitter. The key sensing element is a standard, isotropic, 5mm SAR probe with 3 orthogonally positioned dipoles as active electric field sensors situated within a mass of electrically- lossy, tissue-simulant material selected to have an energy absorption characteristic similar to body tissue at the measurement frequencies of interest.

The probe is embedded in the tissue simulant material with a flat surface to enable contact measurement against structures such as walls or ceilings, which contain emitters. The meter can simply be pressed against an emitter or an emitter-concealing surface. The tissue-simulant material allows the electric field sensor to measure the combined energy absorption rate from both electric and magnetic fields.
 
Application software
Software computation, using algorithms originally developed for compliant testing to current SAR measurement Standards, is used to display SAR value W/Kg directly, with both 1 and 10 gram averaging. The software runs under ‘Windows’ 2000 or XP.
