Iron, a badge like a Landauer dosimeter badge must be sent in to Landauer for readout. They give the dose you recieved over the previous month.
A pen dosimeter will work, but you need a means to charge them up. A couple of pens and a charger are around $500. Depending on what pen you get, they may saturate in a serious mishap.
They are 40’s tech but I still run into them at almost every rad lab I visit.

Thanks for the additional info.
I believe the info I saw was referring to simple, instant readout devices like the RADSticker.
