The registration process should begin at the time of facility or x-ray room planning and layout. There are several components that are included as part of the registration process. These components include:
- Shielding Design(one per room)
- Shielding Integrity Survey (one per room)
- Medical Physics Equipment Survey (per unit)
- State Registration and Affidavit form
- State of Georgia Registration Fee Payment Coupon
We are here to assist every step of the way, ensuring that the purchase, design, installation and registration of your diagnostic imaging equipment will be an effortless, efficient, and cost effective process.
Our commitment to service and safety doesn’t stop there…
Once the registration process is complete we will work with on site personnel in providing oversight of your radiation safety program to ensure that it is maintained in compliance with all applicable regulations. The following products and services are integral to a well managed program:
- Personnel Dosimetry Devices and Training
- Equipment Service and Preventative Maintenance Plans
- Annual Medical Physics Equipment Surveys and Scatter Measurements
- Resource for Regulatory Issues
- Lead Apron and Glove Surveys
- Training for Non-Radiation Workers
Our sales and service personnel will ensure that your radiation equipment and radiation protection program are maintained at peak performance!
Life Cycle of Diagnostic Imaging Installations and Registration
All new diagnostic imaging installations must be registered with the corresponding State department prior to the clinical use of that equipment. If you are replacing an older unit with a new one, the State should be notified of the disposition of the old x-ray unit. This would include the following equipment:
- X-Ray; both Radiographic and Fluoroscopic
- CT Scanner
- Mammography
- C-Arms; both fixed and portable
- Dental
- Veterinary
Once the layout of the room and the equipment placement has been determined, a shielding design must be developed and submitted to most States for review and approval. After all required shielding has been installed, a shielding integrity survey must be performed to determine if the shielding has been installed according to the design specifications. Documentation of the integrity survey must be provided to the State agency.
Initial physics testing of each unit should then be performed and the results submitted to the State along with their corresponding registration form.
If applying for an accreditation program, additional testing will be required once the unit is in use.
