Requirements | Faxitron Path Compliance
Emission Limits
Radiation emitted from the Faxitron Path unit does not exceed an exposure of 0.1 milli-
Roentgen (mR) per hour at any point 5 centimeters (cm) outside the external surface. Fo
r
countries requiring emission values measured at 10 cm from the external surfaces, the
radiation does not exceed 0.1 mR per hour at 10 cm.
Safety Interlocks
Faxitron Path Specimen DR system has two safety interlocks on the specimen door.
Start Button
Following interruption of X-ray generation by the safety interlocks, the Start button on the front
panel will resume X-ray generation when ready.
Key Actuated Control
Key Lock switch located on the front panel, which requires a key to be inserted and turned
clockwise to the 3 o’clock position in order to provide power to the cabinet system. The key is
captive in the “ON” position.
Emergency Stop Button
The Emergency Stop button on the Faxitron Path front panel is available to terminate the
generation of X-rays. This is in addition to the safety interlocks on the system doors.
X-ray Generation Indicators
The Faxitron Path has an X-ray On indicator light on the front panel and graphical use
r
interface, and also produces an audible tone when generating x-rays.
Power Ratings
