						at 10 centimeters from an accessible surface of the fluoroscopic imaging
						assembly for each roentgen per minute of entrance exposure rate.
(e) During fluoroscopy and cinefluorography,
						the voltage and the current shall be continuously indicated.
(f) A cumulative timing device activated by
						the fluoroscope switch shall be provided. It shall indicate the passage of a
						predetermined period of irradiation either by an audible signal or by temporary
						or permanent interruption of the irradiation when the increment of exposure
						time exceeds a predetermined limit not exceeding 5 minutes.
(g) Fluoroscopic table designs when combined
						with normal operating procedures shall be of a type that no unprotected part of
						the staff or an ancillary individual's whole body is exposed to unattenuated
						scattered radiation which originates from under the table. The attenuation
						required may be not less than 0.25 millimeter lead equivalent.
(h) Equipment configuration when combined
						with normal operating procedures shall be of a type that no portion of the
						staff or an ancillary individual's whole body, except the extremities, is
						exposed to the unattenuated scattered radiation emanating from above the
						tabletop unless one of the following criteria is met:
(1) The individual is at least 120
						centimeters from the center of the primary beam.
(2) The radiation has passed through at least
						0.25 millimeter of lead equivalent material-for example, drapes, bucky-slot
						cover (film-tray cover panel), sliding or folding panel or self-supporting
						curtains-in addition to the lead equivalency provided by the protective apron
						referred to in §
													223.8(c)
