Radiation Safety Training Recommendations
Your respective country or region has specific regulations and guidelines for using
ionizing radiation generated by X-ray tubes. It is important to inform yourself about
these rules.
For
the convenience of clients, Olympus has compiled a list of recommendations.
These recommendations:
•
Provide generic guidance on the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable)
approach to radiation safety.
•
Do not replace specific policies of any government entity or organization.
Personal Monitoring
Radiation control regulations may require implementation of a radiation monitoring
program, in which each instrument operator wears a film badge or
thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) for an initial period of one year to establish a
baseline exposure record. Continued radiation monitoring after this period is
recommended but may be discontinued if accepted by radiation control regulators.
See “Dosimeter Suppliers” on page 28 for a list of film badge providers.
Specific Controls
The Vanta iX can be operated remotely controlled over your network and could start
without warning. It is critical that the system is interlocked and cannot be operated if
people are inside the restricted area.
The system must be interlocked with an entry control system so that it cannot be
operated if people are inside the restricted area near the X-ray beam.
NOTE
CAUTION
