Specified Use
4.0 Intended Use
Radiation protection clothing is mandatory as personal protective equipment for operator/users
of systems that use X-rays for diagnostics and protects - in the X-ray tube voltage range of
50 - 150 kV (Standard) or 50 - 110 kV (NovaLite / Leadfree) - against ionising radiation.
Make sure to put on your radiation protective clothing correctly. This is essential to ensure
optimum radiation protection in accordance with legal requirements.
Please pay attention that the radiation protective apron covers your front area from neck
to knees. An all-round apron must also cover your back area as well as your sides starting
from approx. 10 cm under the armpit down to the knees.
In addition, please ensure when choosing radiation protective clothing that the width of the front
protective apron or the width of the front area of the all-round protective apron covers 60%
of your body circumference. Refer to the circumference of the chest, waist, or hip, depending
on which of the three dimensions indicates the greatest size.
NOTE:
If these conditions are not met, add a thyroid shield or sleeve,
or change the size or length.
The thyroid shield should cover the front half of your neck, including the thyroid gland, and reach
down to the neckline of the radiation protection apron.
Inspect products for visible damage before use. For this purpose see also "Inspection" (Chapter 7.0).
Model RA637 – Radiation Protective Bolero
NOTE:
Model RA637 is solely intended for combination with MAVIG front or all-round
protective aprons.
Put on the bolero so that it can be closed in the front. Close the hook and burr closure. After that,
put on your preferred model over the bolero.
WARNING - Insufficient Protective Area
Make sure the shoulder seam sits correctly on your shoulder and does not fall forward.
If this is the case, the upper shoulder area up to the shoulder seam is not protected with
the full front lead equivalent since the back of the radiation protective clothing usually
has a lower or no lead equivalent. This leads to increased radiation exposure.
