Avoidance of Exposure to Emissions of Ionising
Energy in the X-Ray Frequency Range
Toshiba CRT monitors use a cathode ray tube monitor screen and are
therefore an emissive device. They consequently are a generator of some
ionising energy in the x-ray frequency range, as are all CRT monitors.
Most of that energy is absorbed by the glass envelope of the CRT and is
consequently not emitted.
The allowable levels of ionising energy that may be emitted by CRT
monitors are severely limited in their intensity by existing Federal Food
and Drug Administration Regulations. Toshiba CRT monitors have
therefore been designed to further suppress the emission of stray ionising
energy in the x-ray frequency range, in compliance with 21 CFR
Part 1000.
The minute levels of ionising energy in the x-ray frequency range that are
in fact emitted by a Toshiba CRT monitor unit fall off rapidly with distance
and pose no known health hazards to human beings.
