Radiation Safety i-9
Anthem Generator Installation, Operation & Service Manual
Radiation Protection
Serious unfavorable health effects can result from short term exposure to
high levels of ionizing radiation (such as X-rays) as well as from long term
exposure to low levels. Personnel who operate the X-ray system that the
Anthem is installed with should familiarize themselves with both the
short term and the long term effects of radiation exposure and take
appropriate measures to minimize the amount of radiation to which they
are exposed while performing their duties. Some effects of X-radiation are
cumulative, and may extend over a period of months or years. The best
safety rule for X-ray operators is to avoid exposure to the primary beam at
all times.
Ionizing radiation occurs naturally in the environment. It is generated by
astronomical radiation sources such as the sun and the stars, and by the
soil under our feet. The atmosphere filters radiation from astronomical
sources. As a result, the radiation level from these sources is much lower
at sea level than on the summit of high mountains. Radiation generated in
the soil varies greatly from place to place depending on the composition of
the soil. For example, areas rich in granite rock have a higher level of
radiation than other areas.
Any materials placed in the path of the beam absorb natural as well as
man-made radiation, such as the X-rays used in the X-ray system the
Anthem is installed with. Materials with a high atomic number, such as
tungsten, lead, and uranium, absorb X-rays much more effectively than
materials with a low atomic number such as hydrogen, aluminum, or
beryllium. Therefore, lead is used for shielding the radiologist's
workstation in most X-ray facilities. If there are windows in the partition
separating the operator from the patient, these windows are typically
glazed with lead glass and provide effective protection against ionizing
radiation.
To minimize dangerous exposure, use movable lead screens,
lead-impregnated gloves, and lead-impregnated aprons. These protective
devices must contain 0.25 millimeter thickness of lead or the equivalent.
Use such protective devices for all operators, observers, and/or servicing
personnel exposed to radiation fields of five or more milli-Roentgens per
hour.
The shielding provided for a typical X-ray facility's operator workstation
is generally quite effective and reduces the residual radiation from
diagnostic X-rays to a level that is comparable to or lower than natural
background radiation. If the operator abandons the protected
environment of the workstation, he or she may be exposed to a
significantly higher level of radiation. For a single exposure this may still
not lead to serious health effects, but repeated carelessness in this regard
may lead to serious consequences.
i-10 Radiation Protection
Anthem Generator Installation, Operation & Service Manual
Any object in the path of the primary beam produces scattered radiation.
In the absence of proper precautions, scattered radiation can result in a
substantial radiation dose to the operator or any other personnel in the
facility. Moveable screens may be used to shield occupied areas from
scattered radiation.
The X-ray Generator/host system used to power the X-ray System only
produces X-rays when high voltage is applied to the X-ray tube. When the
high voltage is removed, X-ray emission ceases without delay.

Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Although this equipment incorporates protection against X-radiation
other than the useful beam, practical design does not provide complete
protection. Equipment design does not compel the operator or assistants
to take the necessary precautions; nor does it prevent the possibility of
improper use (authorized or unauthorized persons carelessly, unwisely,
or unknowingly exposing themselves or others to direct or secondary
radiation). Allow only authorized, properly trained personnel to operate
this equipment.
Be certain that all individuals authorized to use the equipment are aware
of the danger of excessive exposure to X-radiation.
This equipment is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its
agents, and representatives, do not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-radiation.
Furthermore, the manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-ray radiation generated by the
equipment used in conjunction with the Anthem’s components as a result
of poor operating techniques or procedures.
No responsibility is assumed for any unit that has not been serviced and
maintained in accordance with the technical service manual, or which has
been modified or tampered with in any way.
Manufacturer’s Responsibility i-13
Anthem Generator Installation, Operation & Service Manual
Monitoring Personnel
Monitoring personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they
have been exposed provides a valuable crosscheck to determine whether
or not safety measures are adequate. This crosscheck may reveal
inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and/or serious
radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether the existing protective
measures are adequate is the use of instruments to measure the exposure
(in rads). This measurement should be taken at all locations where the
operator, or any portion of the operator’s body, may be inadequately
shielded during exposure. Exposure must never exceed the accepted
tolerable dose.
A frequently used, but less accurate, method of determining the amount of
exposure is placement of film at strategic locations. After a specified
period of time, develop the film to determine the amount of radiation.
Fluorescent screens (used in a darkened room) may also be used to detect
excessive radiation.
A common method of determining whether personnel have been exposed
to excessive radiation is the use of film badges. These are X-ray sensitive
film enclosed in a badge that incorporates metal filters of varying degrees
of transparency to X-ray radiation. Even though this device only measures
the radiation reaching the area of the body on which it is worn, it does
provide an indication of the amount of radiation received.

Caution
Warning
Optical fiber components
Some of the equipment built-in into this X-ray system may use optical
fiber cables and connections for signal transmission.
Fiber optic components are very delicate. Improper handling may
cause costly interruptions in operation of the system.
To prevent eye damage, never look directly into a fiber optic cable
connector or mating adapter. Never assume laser power is turned
off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Considering the fact that an optical fiber is a strand of glass about the
same diameter as a human hair, fiber optic patch cords and connectors are
remarkably durable. However, careful handling will ensure continued
high performance and long life. Do not pull or kink patch cords, as the
glass strand in the middle might become damaged or broken. Even if the
fiber is not permanently damaged, a sharp bend will cause excessive
signal loss.
Fiber optic cables work by bending the light signal as it travels. But, the
light can only tolerate so much bending. Keep patch cord bend radius no
less than an inch. Never use tie wraps as you would with electrical cables.
If there is need for routing, connecting, and/or disconnecting fiber optic
cables, follow the handling procedures below to minimize the time and
expense associated with broken component fibers.
1.0.2 How to handle fiber optic components
• Wear finger cots or gloves. Your hands may look clean, but dirt and
oils on them can damage the fiber and contaminate connectors.
• Never use the fiber pigtail to pick up or support the weight of the
device. Keep both the device and the optical connector together in
your hand(s)
• The fiber is made of a very pure, expensive glass. Treat it with the
same care that would be used when handling expensive crystal glass.
• Do not allow kinks or knots to develop in the fiber.
Optical fiber components i-19
Anthem Generator Installation, Operation & Service Manual
- Carefully work out any tangles-patience will save time and money
- Do not pull on the fiber when kinks or knots are present. Pulling will
only cause knots, kinks, and curls to tighten, increasing the risk of
breakage.
