ROOM LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

1-1

Radiation Protection

Because X–Ray equipment produces radiation, you may need to take special precautions or make
special site modifications. The General Electric Company does not make recommendations
regarding radiation protection. It is the purchasers' responsibility to consult a radiation physicist for
advise on radiation protection in x–ray rooms.
1-2

Service Access

Allow appropriate space for service access of equipment. Consult component pre–installation
directions for clearance information.
1-3

Clinical Access

Make sure that you plan the room with the following clinical access requirements:
D Provide easy access to the patient table. Stretchers and other mobile hospital equipment must
reach the table quickly.
D Provide sufficient space around the patient table for the unimpeded conduct of CPR (Cardiac
Pulmonary Resuscitation).
D Clinicians at the patient table must be able to communicate with assistants in the control area.
D There must be an unrestricted view of the video monitors and physiological monitoring equipment
from the vascular table.
D Operators in the control area must have easy access to the control console. However, position
the controls (including handswitches) so that the operator cannot take exposures while looking
around or standing outside the control booth's lead glass window.
D Operators in the control area must have easy access to video recorders and injector
programmers, film and video storage cabinets, and service and operating manuals.
D Consult customer on the number and location of nonelectrical lines (air, oxygen, vacuum, water,
etc.) in the vascular room.
1-4

Peripheral Equipment

Consult hospital personnel regarding additional space requirements for the following types of hospital
equipment:
D Storage cabinets.
D Sinks.
D Oxygen stations.
D IV apparatus.
D Injectors.
D Heart monitoring equipment.
D Crash cart.
