RADIATION SHIELDING APRON, FRONTAL

Definition

A frontal apron with lead is worn by a person remaining in the X-ray room to assist a patient during an X-ray examination. It protects the front of the body against ionizing radiation during x-ray exposure.

This frontal apron is suitable for use when taking plain-film x-rays. It is not recommended for use with a fluoroscopic system (c-arm) in an operating theatre (when wrap-around protection is required). The full apron is recommended for use in an operating theatre.

Instructions for use

Always face the radiation source since the back is not protected.

Do not fold, put on a hanger to store after use in order to avoid tears or cracks (hanger: local purchase or manufacture).

Once a month, visually check for possible damage (tears/ cracks).

Once a year, take a radiograph of the apron - see the MSF X-ray User maintenance SOPs for instructions.. If radiation is penetrating through cracks in the lead, contact the DIWG as most likely it requires replacement.

Maintenance

  • See the MSF X-ray User maintenance SOPs for detailed instructions.
  • Clean regularly with soapy water (neutral soap) with a damp cloth, rinse and let dry away from sunlight.
  • Disinfect if needed with a 0.25 % detergent-disinfectant solution for surfaces (i.e. 20 ml = 1 sachet = 1 stroke of dosing pump for 8 l water). Do not rinse (contact time must be 15 minutes minimum and the product is not corrosive).
  • Do not machine wash, do not dry-clean, do not iron, do not sterilize by steam autoclave.

Storage

  • Temperature < 35ºC, Protect from sunlight
  • Do not fold; store on a hanger (but may be rolled up)
