ABOUT THE RAYSAFE i3 SYSTEM
RaySafe i3 is designed for personal use on hospital staff. It measures scattered radiation in examination rooms using a
dosimeter, and shows a graphical visualization of dose rate in real time on a display.

The dosimeters measure radiation and store measurements. When a dosimeter is in range of a Real-time Hub,
it automatically connects to the hub via radio. When a dosimeter is connected via radio to a Real-time Hub,
measurements are transferred once per second and are displayed as dose rate bars, low to high dose rate: green,
yellow or red.
All measurements recorded while connected to a Real-time Hub are saved in the hub and can be exported later in
different formats.
To view the measurements stored in a dosimeter, connect the dosimeter to a computer running Dose Viewer. Dose
Viewer can also be used for changing dosimeter settings, such as displayed name and annual dose limit.
Dose Manager is an optional analysis software.
RAYSAFE i3 IN A SIEMENS LAB
For installations in a Siemens lab:
• The reference dosimeter and the reference dosimeter holder shall not be used.
• When configuring the Real-time Hub, leave the field for reference dosimeter serial number blank.
NOTE:
When no reference dosimeter is present in the system, there will be no history dose rate bars at the
right side of the screen.
