6. WIPE TEST
6-1
WIPE TEST
The Wipe Test is used to determine the DPM of swipes taken in the designated areas of a department
using the optional well counter Model #187-246. A total of 10 swipes may be identified and counted for
each area. When wipe counting is completed, a report of the Wipe Test results can be printed out with
each test identified by the area and wipe with results shown. The screen displays all wipes and stores the
results for each wipe until that wipe is recounted.
NOTE: In Wipe Test and Bioassay mode, the activity shown is NET activity. This means that the background count
is subtracted from the count before the activity is calculated. For all other modes, counts shown are the actual counts
detected and are not netted for background.
Define Wipe Areas
The Define Wipe Areas feature is used to define new areas or change information about existing areas. At
this screen, you can define individual wipe areas in the same manner as used for selecting, adding,
editing or deleting patients and isotopes.
NOTE: You must use the Isotope Editing screen to make isotopes available for use in Wipe Testing, and the Isotope
Efficiencies screen to enter the Detector Efficiency for each isotope. Refer to chapter 3 for details.
To Edit an Existing Wipe Area
1.
To edit an existing Wipe Area, at the Operation screen click on <Wipe>. The Wipe Counting screen
should now be displayed.
2.
Click on the <Define Wipe Area> icon at the bottom of the screen. The Wipe Area Setup screen
should now be displayed.
3.
If the currently selected wipe area is the one you want to edit, proceed to step 5. To select another
wipe area to edit, click on <Open> in the screen tool bar. The Wipe Area Selection List should now
be displayed.
4.
Double-Click on the desired wipe area. The selected wipe area should now be displayed on the Wipe
Area Setup screen.
5.
Click on <Edit> in the screen tool bar and then make the desired changes.
6.
Click on <Save> to save the changes.
NOTE: If you click <Cancel> the changes made will be discarded.
7. Click on <Close> to return to the Wipe Counting screen. The edited wipe area should now be
displayed in the Area Name box.
To Add A New Wipe Area
1.
To add a new Wipe Area, at the Operation screen click on <Wipe>. The Wipe Counting screen
should now be displayed.
2.
Click on the <Define Wipe Area> icon at the bottom of the screen. The Wipe Area Setup screen
should now be displayed.
3.
Click on <Add> in the screen tool bar. The fields on the Wipe Area Setup screen should now be
highlighted.
4.
Enter the new wipe area name and up to ten wipe locations in this area (i.e., Camera Room or Hot
Room for area names, counter, table, etc. for locations.)
5.
Select the area type: restricted, unrestricted or sealed source.
NOTE: If you select a sealed source area only one isotope is allowed. For restricted and unrestricted areas,
multiple isotopes can be used.
