Recommended Operating Requirements
Local agencies or government bodies or international standards may
dictate different and/or additional requirements for installation of
the system in order to protect personnel and the public from
exposure from the radiological output of the device. Consult your
local agencies, government bodies, or international standards for
actual requirements which apply.
It is recommended that a qualified Physicist or Radiologist
determine where appropriate, the applicable lead shielding to be
installed in the area around the system equipment. The minimum
lead thickness required is 0.8 mm [1/32 in] lead. Thicker lead can be
used if desired. Below are highlights of some other common
requirements that may apply to your location:
•
The Computer Workstation and X-ray Operator should be
located at a minimum of two meters or behind a properly
shielded permanent barrier. A viewing window (or
alternative method such as a mounted mirror) should be
present to enable the X-ray Operator to view the Patient and
operate the computer while the exposure is present.
•
The Operator Control Box and Acquisition Computer shall
be located within 1 meter [3.28 ft] from door. If not, an
interlocked door may be required.
•
A room door may be required.
•
Radiation warning signs may be required next to the
entrance to the room.
•
A Warning light may be required by the entrance to the
room.
•
A shielding plan should be performed where the system is
being installed. Some local agencies or government bodies
require that a shielding plan be conducted by a
qualified
Physicist or Radiologist and a copy of the shielding plan
be submitted and approved prior to installation of the
system.
•
An area radiation survey by a qualified physicist or
Radiologist may then be required within 30 days of initial
clinical use of the system. This survey may be required to be
submitted to the local agency or government body.
