There are a variety of natural and man-made emissions
that are classified as radiation. X-rays are included in
most definitions. It should be noted that the Medalist
x6000 will not produce X-rays unless power is specifically
provided to the X-ray tube, and will cease immediately upon
removal of power. It should also be noted that the Medalist
x6000 is not designed to admit humans.
A complete description of the biological effects of radiation
is outside the scope of this guide, but is generally available
at any library or local government office.
The State of California (see California Radiation Control
Regulations, Title 17, California Administrative Code,
Section 30265), and other Agreement States, have
established maximum dose limits for individuals working in
an area considered to be uncontrolled (not under constant
monitoring). These limits are the maximum of no more
than:
2 millirem / hour
100 millirem / 7 days
500 millirem / year
These limits were considered when the United States
federal government established the limit of 0.5
milliroentgen/hour at 5 cm from the surface of any Cabinet
Radiography system. Agilent certifies that the Medalist
x6000 X-ray emissions are less than the United States
Government and International Safety Standards for
Cabinet X-ray Systems.

A Cabinet X-ray System is one that produces little or no X-
ray exposure to the user and is safe to operate and to be in
close proximity to under foreseeable conditions. The
Medalist x6000 is certified to produce not more than 0.5
millirem per hour at a distance of 5 cm from the machine
surface. Agilent warrants that the Medalist x6000 meets all
federal regulations regarding Cabinet Radiography
Systems.
