Essential to prevent contamination and maintain hgience standards required in radiology
Regular cleaning and disinfection
Usr appropriate cleaning agents recommended by manufacturers for each specific piece of rquipoment and accessory
Regular cleaning and disinfection
Includes wiping down surfaces and carefully cleaning intricate parts such as the collimator, grids, and pb markers
Regular cleaning and disinfection
Ensures that all equipment functions accurately and efficiently
Scheduled maintenace and calibration
Involves periodic checks and calibrations by qualifies technicians to ensure that devices like the RT, collimator, and penetrometer are operating correctly
Scheduled maintenace and calibration
Helps detect potential issues early, preventing costly repairs and downtime
Scheduled maintenace and calibration
Vital to prevent damage to sensitive equipment and accessories
Proper handling and storage
Helps identify wear and tear or any potential safety hazards
Routine safety inspections
Includes checking integrity of pb barriers, gowns, gloves, ensuring that the VCH and RT are stable and seecure
Routine safety inspections
Maintain compliance with health and safety regulation and protect both pateients and staff from exposure to radiation
Routine safety inspections
Ensuring that all staf members ar properly trained in the use and care of radiology equipment and accessoriess fundamental
Staff training
Training programs should cover the correct operation, cleaning procedures, handing techniques, and safety protocol
Staff training
Educated staff ar more likely to follow best practies, reducing the risk of equipment damage and ensuring optimal performance
