NOMAD PRO 2 QUIZ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The smaller diameter cone of the NOMAD Pro 2, combined with the use of DC power,
and primary shielding greatly reduce a patient X-ray exposure. - Answers- True
X-ray locks in NOMAD Pro 2 automatically engage after 2 hours of inactivity. - Answers-
False
Because NOMAD Pro 2 shielding limits the exposure, it is permissible to have other
people
in the exam room during exposures without any precautions. - Answers- False
The NOMAD Pro 2 should be routinely cleaned using disinfectant wipes, or some other
non acetone cleaner to maintain cleanliness. - Answers- True
The backscatter shield is adjustable to accommodate positioning devices and other
special needs but if the backscatter shield is adjusted, additional precautions are
required. - Answers- True
If the NOMAD Pro 2 has been dropped, it should be returned to Aribex for an
evaluation. - Answers- True
An exposure can be prematurely terminated for any reason by releasing the trigger at
any time during the exposure. - Answers- True
The NOMAD Pro 2 should normally be held with two hands for stability whenever
possible. - Answers- True
The Handset can be left on the Charging Cradle after reaching a full charge without
harming the batteries. - Answers- True
The Handset should be detached from the NOMAD Pro 2 at the end of each day's use. -
Answers- True
Radiation safety requires that we establish an in-house radiation protection program
that complies with all applicable regulations and addresses precautions for patients and
operators who have or may have what medical condition? - Answers- Pregnancy
When the NOMAD Pro 2 is powered on and in the settings screen, a single quick pull of
the trigger will enable the device. The green LED will illuminate and the display will
indicate the device is ENABLING X-RAYS and then the ________________ message
will appear on the screen (meaning the next trigger will fire X-rays). - Answers- READY
/ Green Radiation Icon
, When the NOMAD Pro 2 is not in service, it is advisable to ensure that the device is
securely stored and the X-rays are ______ so that unauthorized / unintended use or
damage does not occur. - Answers- LOCKED
An alarm indicating a partial exposure (when the trigger was not depressed through the
entire timer setting, either on purpose or accidentally) is indicated by a series of beeps
and the ____________ message on the screen until a button is pressed. - Answers-
INCOMPETE / RED
Do not ____ the NOMAD Pro 2 until the patient and film/ sensor are positioned and
ready to avoid unintended firing of the NOMAD Pro 2. - Answers- ENABLE / READY
When there is not enough battery charge left to take an exposure, the charge indicator
bars will fade away and the ____ alarm message appears on the screen, and the
NOMAD Pro 2 will not allow an exposure to begin. - Answers- RECHARGE HANDSET
If left unused NOMAD Pro 2 will automatically shut down after approximately
______________ minute(s). The NOMAD Pro 2 can also be turned off by pressing the
POWER button. - Answers- 3 minutes
Some battery ____ may be lost during extended inactivity (leading to fewer exposures
between each Handset charging session). - Answers- charge
In order to maintain the optimal operator safety zone the backscatter shield should be:
a) held so it is parallel to the oeprator
b) slid back on the cone toward the operator
c) held so NOMAD Pro 2 is positioned close to the patient - Answers- a) Held so it is
parallel to the operator
c) Held so NOMAD Pro 2 is positioned close to the patient.
The duty cycle (or rest period b/w exposures) to protect your NOMAD Pro2 is as
follows:
a) 6 sec for an exposure 0.09 sec long
b) 12 sec for an exposure 0.20 sec long
c) 24 sec for an exposure 0.40 sec long
d) 45 sec for an exposure 1.00 sec long - Answers- a) 6 sec for an exposure 0.09 sec
long
b) 12 sec for an exposure 0.20 sec long
c) 24 sec for an exposure 0.40 sec long
How do you minimize the chances of "cone-cutting"? - Answers- To minimize cone
cutting, NOMAD Pro 2 must be properly positioned relative to the imaging system. (This
may also require that the patient tilt their head to maintain the protection zone). Check
compatibility with film holding kits or aiming devices in advance.
