				subsections (c) through (e), (g) through (l), and (p) if the following are met:
(1) Such systems are designed and used in
				such a manner that no individual other than the patient is in the x-ray room
				when the system is producing x-rays.
(2) Systems which do not comply with
				subsection (p) are provided with a means of indicating the cumulative time that

Indiana Administrative Code › Title 410 - INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Article 5 - RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH › Rule 6.1 - X-Rays in the Healing Arts › Section 6.1-121 - General purpose radiographic systems

Current through July 10, 2024
Authority: IC 16-41-35-26; IC 16-41-35-29
Affected: IC 16-41-35
Sec. 121.
(a) All
				general purpose radiographic systems, except extraoral dental x-ray systems,
				shall be evaluated at least each twelve (12) months by a diagnostic imaging
				physicist or x-ray machine inspector approved by the department. Extraoral
				dental x-ray systems must be evaluated at intervals not to exceed thirty-six
				(36) months by a diagnostic imaging physicist or x-ray machine inspector
				approved by the department. General purpose radiographic systems shall comply
				with all applicable portions of this section.
(b) The useful beam shall be limited to the
				area of clinical interest.
(c)
				General purpose stationary x-ray systems and mobile x-ray systems shall comply
				with the following requirements:
(1) There
				shall be a means for stepless adjustment of the field size.
(2) A method shall be provided for visually
				defining the perimeter of the x-ray field. The total misalignment of the edges
				of the visually defined field with the respective edges of the x-ray field
				along either the length or width of the visually defined field shall not exceed
				two percent (2%) of the distance from the source to the center of the visually
				defined field when the surface upon which it appears is perpendicular to the
				axis of the x-ray beam.
(3) The
				commissioner may grant an exemption to subdivisions (1) and (2) for
				noncertified x-ray systems, provided the registrant applies for such an
				exemption in writing. An application for such exemption shall demonstrate that
				it is impractical to comply with subdivisions (1) and (2) and that the
				protection afforded through compliance with subdivisions (1) and (2) will be
				assured through alternate methods.
(4) Any light localizer used to define the
				x-ray field shall provide an average illumination of not less than ten (10)
				foot-candles at one hundred (100) cm or at the maximum SID, whichever is
				less.
