Safety Information
27
Dosimeter badges are required in some countries or regions, and are optional in
others. Olympus recommends that all Vanta iX analyzer operators wear a dosimeter
(badge or ring) for at least the first year of operating their analyzer(s).
Every country (including each region, state, or province within a country) may have
different regulations. Always consult your local Radiation Protection Authority or
Olympus for information and recommendations.
1.10.3
Dosimeter Safety Program
A typical dosimeter-based safety program follows the steps listed below:
1.
The company develops a dosimeter program with an independent service
contractor. Together, they establish the quantity of badges needed and the
frequency of analysis (a monthly or quarterly interval).
2.
The company receives the first lot of badges and distributes them to its
analysts/operators.
3.
At the end of the interval:
a)
The company collects the badges and returns them to the service contractor
for analysis.
b)
At the same time, the service contractor delivers another lot.
4.
The company distributes the new set of badges, thereby maintaining a continuous
protection/monitoring program for its employees.
5.
The service contractor prepares a report for the company. The report tabulates
any X-ray dose received, and identifies any persons with readings that exceed
typical background radiation.
6.
The safety monitoring cycle is repeated from steps 1 to 5. Any dose which exceeds
limits set by the program (determined by monitoring use patterns) must be
investigated and, if sufficiently high, reported to your regulatory agency.
