Intended use of the DoseAware System
This Philips product is intended to be installed, used and operated only in
accordance with the safety procedures and operating instructions given in
these Instructions for Use for the purpose for which it was designed. The
purpose for which the product is intended is given below. However, nothing
stated in these Instructions for Use reduces users’ responsibilities for sound
clinical judgment and best clinical procedure.
The DoseAware System is an electronic X-ray dose monitoring system. The
intended use is to improve the awareness of people, who work with or are in
the presence of X-Ray imaging equipment, about their occupational dose
(also known as staff dose). The awareness focuses on:
•
A graphical visualization of the real-time staff dose rate while working
with X-Ray equipment in examination rooms during medical procedures;
• Instant access to historical staff dose for reporting and analysis purposes.
The benefits of the DoseAware System are to:
• Make people aware of their received staff dose during clinical work with
X-ray imaging equipment;
• Instantly visualize the result of reducing measures of occupational
dose by, for example, changing a person’s position in the examination room.
The DoseAware System may not be used as a legal staff dose recording
solution. The DoseAware System is not intended for patient use.
• Do not expose the PDMs in direct X-ray beam. They are designed to be exposed to
scattered radiation only.
• The Dose Manager, DoseView, Cradle and PDM Rack are not intended to be used
inside examination rooms.
• The DoseAware product is not a replacement for a TLD (ThermoLuminescent
Dosimeter) or similar product.
