DEVICE: AttenuRad (00860010574584)

A portable or mobile rigid barrier designed to shield patients and healthcare professionals from unnecessary exposure to radiation used in diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures. It provides a physical radiation-attenuating barrier between an individual and a source of primary or scattered radiation. It may be a stand-alone device or intended to be integrated within an electronic system; the panel itself is not electronic. The types of materials used depend on the type of radiation to be attenuated [e.g., those used in diagnostic x-ray and nuclear medicine consist of lead (Pb) or lead-equivalent materials, and those used to attenuate neutrons are composed of hydrogenous materials].

A personal protective device intended to shield the neck area including the nape, the throat, and the thyroid of an individual (i.e., a device operator or other attending person) from unnecessary exposure to radiation during diagnostic or therapeutic medical and dental procedures. Collars used in x-ray and nuclear medicine typically consist of a fluid resistant outer covering surrounding a thin sheet of lead (Pb) or lead-equivalent material. Collars used for neutron attenuation are composed of hydrogenous materials instead of lead; those used in mixed beta-gamma radiation field may have layers of both hydrogenous and lead-equivalent materials. This is a reusable device.
