Intended Use of the Ocean 2014 Software
Together with instruments from RTI Electronics AB it is to be used for independent service and
quality control, as well as measurements of kerma, kerma rate, kVp, tube current, exposure time,
luminance, and illuminance within limitations stated below.
If installed according to accompanying documents, the product is intended to be used together
with all diagnostic X-ray equipment except for:
- therapeutical X-ray sources.
- X-ray equipment with tube potential below 20 kV.
- X-ray equipment on which the instrument cannot be mounted properly, e.g. equipment where the
beam field size is narrower than the active part of the detector.
- specific types of X-ray equipment listed in the instructions for use or in additional information
from the manufacturer.
With the X-ray installation in stand-by conditions without patients present, the product is intended
to be used:
- to provide the operator with information on radiation beam parameters that might influence
further steps in an examination but not an ongoing exposure.
- for assessing the performance of the X-ray equipment.
- for evaluation of examination techniques and procedures.
- for service and maintenance measurements.
- for quality control measurements.
- for educational purposes, authority supervision etc.
The product is intended to be used by hospital physicists, X-ray engineers, manufacturer's
service teams, and other professionals with similar tasks and competencies. The operator needs
a short training to be able to use the product as intended. This training can be achieved either by
careful study of the manual, studies of the built-in help function in measurement software or, on
request, in a short course ordered from the manufacturer.
The product is intended to be used inside X-ray rooms ready for clinical use and can safely be left
switched on and in any measuring mode in the vicinity of patients.
The product is NOT intended to be used:
- for direct control of diagnostic X-ray equipment performance during irradiation of a patient.
- so that patients or other unqualified persons can change settings of operating parameters during
and immediately before and after measurements.
