Instructions for use
Always make sure there is no unprotected area between the thyroid shield and the apron since the thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to ionizing radiation.
Once a month, visually check for possible damage (tears/ cracks). Once a year, take a radiograph of the collar. In the event of radiation signs via cracks in the lead, the collar is porous and must be replaced.
Maintenance
- Clean with cold 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 (but may be rolled up)
