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. - ANS True X-ray locks in NOMAD Pro 2 automatically engage after 2 hours of inactivity. - ANS 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. - ANS False The NOMAD Pro 2 should be routinely cleaned using disinfectant wipes, or some other non acetone cleaner to maintain cleanliness. - ANS 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. - ANS True If the NOMAD Pro 2 has been dropped, it should be returned to Aribex for an evaluation. - ANS True An exposure can be prematurely terminated for any reason by releasing the trigger at any time during the exposure. - ANS True The NOMAD Pro 2 should normally be held with two hands for stability whenever possible. - ANS True The Handset can be left on the Charging Cradle after reaching a full charge without harming the batteries. - ANS True The Handset should be detached from the NOMAD Pro 2 at the end of each day's use. - ANS 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? - ANS 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). - ANS 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. - ANS 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. - ANS 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. - ANS 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. - ANS 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. - ANS 3 minutes Some battery ____ may be lost during extended inactivity (leading to fewer exposures between each Handset charging session). - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 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 The Technique Factor for making exposures: a) Is represented in a chart that is for reference only in establishing a customized exposure technique in your office. b) Will be affected by various factors, including the following: preference, technique, film or sensor speed, and patient mass c) Can be reprogrammed by the operator into the NOMAD Pro 2 d) Is included on the CD in a blank form format for creating a customized Technique Factor Chart for your office - ANS a) Is represented in a chart that is for reference only in establishing a customized exposure technique in your office. b) Will be affected by various factors, including the following: preference, technique, film or sensor speed, and patient mass c) Can be reprogrammed by the operator into the NOMAD Pro 2 d) Is included on the CD in a blank form format for creating a customized Technique Factor Chart for your office Radiation safety is at the heart of the NOMAD Pro 2 design. The NOMAD Pro 2 has: a) Primary shielding to contain the X-ray beam as it is generated b) Secondary shielding to direct backscatter radiation away from the operator when properly positioned c) Shielding that results in an operator X-ray dose that is well below federal occupational limits when used correctly d) Smaller cone and focal point diameter for reduced patient exposure and enhanced image quality - ANS a) Primary shielding to contain the X-ray beam as it is generated b) Secondary shielding to direct backscatter radiation away from the operator when properly positioned c) Shielding that results in an operator X-ray dose that is well below federal occupational limits when used correctly
