m. The result at the sample position was extrapolated from measured results using a semi-

100c log plot as described in IEC 62495. The main beam leaves the front of the instrument going forward and up at a 45-degree angle. Locations where the intensity of the main beam falls to 10% and 1% of the intensity at its center were recorded using the “Standard Setting 1 Alloy Phase 1” only. See the following figure.

RadEye gives instantaneous results but is not accurate over large energy ranges. A second survey of the main beam was done with 80 pkV, 2.9mm Al HVL NanoDots (TLD dosimeters) from Landauer with a request to apply the correction factor for NIST H30 that most closely matches the X-rays in the beam for the setting used.

The NanoDots were exposed at the locations defined with the RadEye at 10, 30 and 100cm distances from the nose, for a measured time using the Standard Setting 1 Alloy Phase 1. NanoDots do not give instantaneous results but are more accurate. The RadEye was used to find the location of the center of the main beam. Its readings at that time were recorded so a comparison of the results from the NanoDots and RadEye could be made.

2.4. Precautions

Prior t

o using the instrument, read the Radiation Safety Manual, Bruker document 030.0011.

 Improper handling or use could result in radiation exposure.  Do not allow anyone other than trained personnel to operate the analyzer.  Only sell or transfer the analyzer to persons registered to receive it.  Notify your regulatory agency upon the transfer or disposal of the analyzer.  Comply with all instructions and labels provided with the device.  Before pressing the trigger, be aware of the direction the X-rays travel. Not applicable to CTX.  While measuring, do not place any part of your body, especially the eyes or hands, near the X-

ray source. Not applicable to CTX.

 Do

not hold a

sample by hand to the window for analysis. Hold the window to the sample. Not

applicable to CTX.

 Occasionally, a sample may not be reflective enough to trigger the proximity sensor. Place

ece of white paper or other reflective material between the sample and sensor. If necess
