Bioassay module, perform the System Setup Procedures as outlined in
CHAPTER 4: GENERAL SETUP.
INTRODUCTION
Bioassays are generally performed whenever radiation workers are occupationally exposed
to unsealed or high activity sources of I 131, I 125 and I 123 on a regular basis. This test is
used to monitor exposure levels for these workers. Any measured activity outside the normal
limits will be flagged. As part of the procedure, it also determines the system efficiency for
these isotopes.
Notes: Staff Members can only be added or removed by the Administrator. The Administrator
has access to all Staff Members’ Bioassay data.
Staff Members can only access his/her own Bioassay data. Each Staff Member must
be added to the Users by the Administrator before he/she can access their Bioassay
data.
Users who are not Staff Members cannot access Bioassay data.
To access the Bioassay module, click the
button or press Alt+B on the

Member Directory box will be empty if there are currently no existing staff members in the
database. Added staff members will appear in this box with their name, the Staff ID and date
of birth. By default, the first record is selected. The Latest Results box below shows the
results of the most recent measurements performed on the selected staff member. The icons
