INTRODUCTION OF US
Approximately 15% of radiation exposure received by humans is obtained from radiation utilization activities in the health sector, including radiodiagnostic activities, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. X-ray aircraft and interventional radiology suitability tests are a series of testing activities to ensure X-ray aircraft are in reliable condition. Thus, conformity testing is basically a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure that each alignment parameter on the X-ray aircraft is tested for accuracy and function repeatability according to the equipment specifications and if deviations occur they must be within the tolerance limit values according to the provisions. condition.
DEFINITION
Suitability test is one of the efforts to optimize radiation protection for patients. By conducting a suitability test on the x-ray equipment owned by a health facility, the quality of the x-ray equipment used in the service will be known.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the suitability test on the X-ray machine is to ensure that each radiation parameter on the machine is tested for accuracy, linearity and functional stability in accordance with the device specifications and if there is a deviation, it must be within the agreed tolerance limit value.
LEGALITY
BAPETEN Regulation No. 2 of 2018 concerning Suitability Testing of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology X-Ray Equipment.
