				subject matter in a different format such as live lecture or self study. Self
				study formats include: online, DVD, CD, videotape, audiotape, or written
				text.

				completion of the continuing education requirement. Hours earned to complete
				the continuing education requirement to reactivate an expired or inactive
				certificate may not be used toward completion of the continuing education
				requirement for the next biennium.
(3) A certificateholder may be awarded twelve
				contact hours of continuing education for successfully passing a post-primary
				examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, or of the
				Nuclear Medicine Technologist Certification Board, during the
				certificateholder's current renewal cycle. To receive credit, the
				certificateholder must submit to the department proof of passing the
				post-primary examination, such as a letter from the registry or board which
				bears the certificateholder's name, the date the examination was taken, and the
				score. Credit will not be awarded for passing an examination during a previous
				renewal cycle.
(4) A
				certificateholder can be awarded contact hours for successfully completing,
				during the biennium, a continuing education course that is approved by an
				organization which is recognized by the American Registry of Radiologic
				Technologists as a Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism
				(RCEEM). The amount of hours awarded the certificateholder shall be equal to
				the number of hours approved by the RCEEM for that course.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) When the
				Department finds that an applicant, employer, certificateholder or other person
				has committed any of the acts set forth in Section
				 468.3101, F.S., or has failed to
				comply with Section  381.0034, F.S., it shall impose
				appropriate penalties as recommended within the range of the "Disciplinary
				Guidelines for Radiological Personnel, " (revised October 2015), which is
				herein incorporated by reference and is available from the Department at
http://www.FloridaHealth.gov/radiation
,
				and at
http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-06284
.
				All violations are sufficient for refusal to certify an applicant. The
				disciplinary guidelines shall be interpreted as inclusive of those penalties
				that fall between the minimum and the maximum authorized for the violation.
				When a disciplinary guideline includes a period of probation, the intent is to
				require performance under supervision, additional education, treatment, and/or
				monitoring, or other conditions during the probationary period. The
				disciplinary guidelines are based upon a single count violation of each
				provision listed. Multiple count violations of a provision, or violations of
				multiple provisions will be grounds for enhancement of penalties. "PRN" refers
				to Professional's Resource Network, the impaired practitioner program for
				applicants and certificateholders under this part.
(2) The range of disciplinary action which
				the Department may impose includes any and all set forth in Section
				 468.3101, F.S. The Department
				shall take various mitigating or aggravating factors into consideration in
				determining the appropriate disciplinary action to be imposed and shall state
				in the Final Order any factors used to deviate from the specified guidelines.
				The factors that may be considered are:
(a)
				The danger to the public;
(b) The
				number of repetitions of offenses;
(c) The length of time since the date of the
				violation;
(d) The length of time
				the certificateholder has practiced;
(e) The actual damage, physical or otherwise,
				caused by the violation;
(f) The
				deterrent effect of the penalty imposed;
(g) The effect of the penalty upon the
				certificateholder's livelihood;
(h)
				Previous disciplinary action against the applicant or certificateholder by the
				Department, by a national organization or registry, or by the certification
				authority of another jurisdiction;
(i) Rehabilitation efforts or efforts to
				correct or stop violations, or the failure to correct or stop violations; and,
(j) Any other mitigating or
				aggravating circumstances.

				interpreted as limiting the intentional exposure of patients to laser radiation
				for the purpose of treatment or use commensurate with the licensed
				practitioner's use of the healing arts.

				Subsequent registrations for each facility or mobile laser facility are
				required whenever additional laser devices are installed or previously
				registered laser devices are disposed of, altered, destroyed or moved to new
				locations. Subsequent registrations for each manufacturer are required only
				when the description of the laser devices manufactured by the manufacturer
				changes.
(3)
(a) Laser products certified by a
				manufacturer to be compliant with the Federal laser product performance
				standard of  21 C.F.R. Part 1040  in effect at the date of manufacture shall be
