IMPORTANT:
        1. Any packages containing radioactive material must be shipped to an alternate address with prior approval. If these packages are delivered to the address above, they will be immediately returned. Please email or call Wendy Kennan ( ) at (608)265-9748 for questions related to shipping radioactive materials.
        2. Remove battery holders from kVp and survey meters and pack separately to avoid instrument damage.
        3. If any instrument arrives damaged, you will be notified by phone. If inadequate or previously used packaging materials have been used, carriers typically void any damage claim. Since carriers may refuse to deliver a previously used box, the shipping container may be replaced.

 INSTRUCTIONS-

1.   Complete, sign and include a Request for Instrument Calibration Form (CLICK HERE ).

ATTENTION: Adobe Acrobat version 5.0 or higher is required to use these forms. CLICK HERE to get the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader

2.   Place each instrument in a plastic bag or wrap in plastic.

3.   Carefully pack instruments and required accessories in a suitable new shipping container as follows:

            i.    Wrap each instrument with bubble pack or equivalent packing material.
