Nomad Pro Exam Questions and
Answers
Cleaning of Nomad Pro: - Correct Answers --Practice good housekeeping by routinely
cleaning your NOMAD Pro 2 between patients via a thorough wipe down with a
disinfectant wipe (used according to chemical manufacturer's instructions).
-DO NOT spray disinfectant or cleaners directly on the NOMAD Pro 2, Handsets,
Charging Cradle, or AC Charger.
Security of Nomad Pro: - Correct Answers --Properly used, the X-RAY LOCK feature
serves as the device security key to prevent unauthorized use.
-To activate this feature, press and hold down Select and then the Patient buttons.
(Repeat the process to unlock the X-ray.)
-In addition, it is recommended that the device be locked away when not in use (this
may be required in some locations
Readying Nomad Pro: - Correct Answers -1. Properly position the patient and yourself
before you pull the TRIGGER (to prevent accidental exposure).
2. The first TRIGGER pull places the device in the ENABLING X-RAYS
3. The READY message on the screen and the green indicators confirm that NOMAD
Pro 2 is READY. This continues for 15 seconds or until an exposure is initiated.
4. If an exposure is not taken with the 15 seconds of the READY state, the system will
return to the normal state
x-ray exposure: - Correct Answers -1. With the system in the READY state, to begin the
exposure, squeeze and hold the trigger.
2. The READY message changes to X-RAYS ON.
3. The screen and LED change from green to yellow.
4. Throughout the exposure there is a tone which ends when the exposure is complete
to indicate the trigger can be released.
5. The message changes briefly to COMPLETE and the screen returns to settings
mode.
Incomplete x-ray exposure: - Correct Answers -As a safety feature, an exposure can be
terminated by releasing the trigger before the end of the exposure.
1.Set the exposure time to 0.50 sec.
2. READY the device.
3. Once in the READY state pull and release the trigger quickly.
4. The display will indicate INCOMPLETE.
, Storage and Protection - Correct Answers --Take steps to ensure the NOMAD Pro 2 will
not be knocked to the ground when not in use.
-The optimal storage location is cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight.
-When finished with NOMAD Pro 2 for the day, detach the Handset.
-NOMAD Pro 2 should not be operated if it has been dropped or performance degrades;
it should be returned to Aribex for an evaluation.
Radiation safety - Correct Answers -Operators must follow all guidelines and regulations
in regard to patients and operators who are pregnant or expect to become pregnant.
Operators must be fully acquainted with safety recommendations.
Do not enable the NOMAD Pro 2 until ready for the exposure.
Do not make an exposure if anyone else is in the same room.
Use Position Indicating Devices (PIDs) that allow the backscatter shield to remain at the
outer end of the cone.
Primary shielding - Correct Answers -The NOMAD Pro 2 was designed with patient and
operator safety in mind. The special internal shielding encases the X-ray tube and
effectively eliminates leakage radiation. This makes it safe to use NOMAD Pro 2 as a
handheld device during exposures.
Backscatter Shielding - Correct Answers -Secondary shielding on the NOMAD Pro 2
acts as a barrier against backscatter radiation eliminating the need for the operator to
leave the room.
Shielding - Correct Answers -As a result of the primary shielding and backscatter
shielding, operator radiation exposure is far below federal regulatory limits when the Pro
2 is used correctly.
Maximum protection - Correct Answers -exists when the shield is at the outer edge of
the cone, close to the subject, and parallel to the operator.
protection diminishes when? - Correct Answers --when the shield is not at the outer
edge of the cone. Use positioning kits that do not require the shield to be slid back.
-when the shield is distanced from the subject. Hold the cone close to the patient
-when the shield is not parallel to the operator. Avoid this by asking the patient to
slightly tilt their head.
If you must compromise the backscatter protection zone: - Correct Answers --you
should wear appropriate protective clothing (be aware—some locations may require an
apron and thyroid collar in these cases).
-And always remember to sight through the backscatter shield, not over or around it.
Don't lean out of the zone!
radiation safety: - Correct Answers --To maintain radiation safety your office must be
aware of local requirements for use and should:
-establish an in-house radiation protection program,
