Radiation Safety
•
This x-ray device may be dangerous to operator, patient and bystander unless safe
exposure factors, operating instructions and maintenance schedules are observed.
• Do not operate if the backscatter shield or collimator cone are broken!
1) Ensure proper registration and compliance with any such regulation.
2) In implementing a radiation protection program, please consult any state, provincial, and local regulations
governing radiation protection and the use of x-ray equipment.
3) Operator must follow all applicable regulatory guidelines and in-house radiation protection program in
regard to patients and operators who are pregnant or expect to become pregnant.
4) Operators must be fully acquainted with industry safety recommendations and established maximum
permissible doses.
5) Optimal operator radiation backscatter protection exists when:
- the backscatter shield is positioned at the outer end of the collimator cone,
- the backscatter shield is parallel to the operator,
-
the backscatter shield is close to the patient,
- the patient tilts their head when needed to accommodate exposures, and
- the operator remains within the Significant Zone of Occupancy immediately behind the device shield.
6)
Do not enable
Rextar X
until patient and operator are positioned and ready for the exposure,
reducing the likelihood of interruption and preventing inadvertent exposure of anyone to x-rays.
7) Do not attempt an exposure if anyone else is positioned immediately behind the patient (in line with the
direction of x-ray emission). If others are assisting, then they should wear protective covering.
