Cocoon Training Manual
Introduction
Introduction
There are many beneficial uses of ionizing radiation; however, of equal importance we note that there
are potential risks associated with its use. Radiation safety training is an important part of any radi-
ation safety program. Receiving appropriate training ensures users are following proper safety prac-
tices to maximize the benefits of ionizing radiation while minimizing potential risks and maintaining
a safe work environment.
In this training manual, we discuss basic X-ray safety in addition to specific safety information about
operating the MaxRay Cocoon. The Cocoon is a small, lightweight, handheld X-ray system meant for
dental radiology that is certified by the FDA and is completely safe when used as intended. All op-
erators must read, and become familiar with, the User’s Manual associated with the Cocoon system.
This handheld unit is to be operated only by authorized personnel. DO NOT operate the Cocoon in
any manner other than that specified herein, and in the User’s Manual. And, DO NOT allow anyone
other than trained and certified personnel to operate the Cocoon unit.
