Diagnostic x-ray procedures often require healthcare personnel to remain in the examination room where they are subject to exposure from secondary radiation. The full acrylic mobile barrier provides total-body x-ray shielding during extended procedures. The large and clear bismuth acrylic window provides 0.50mm LE protection and rests on an opaque lower panel with an equivalent 0.50mm LE.

Maintaining Your Lead Barrier
Maintenance: Examine barrier before use. If the lead acrylic window or base becomes pitted, chipped or damaged cease use immediately. Basic cleaning maintenance is required to ensure acrylic is clear and keep casters free of debris.
Cleaning Leaded Barrier Frame: Barrier frame may be cleaned with any non-Ammonia based or non-chlorine based cleaner. Any neutral based disinfecting product may be used for disinfecting if necessary. Never use Ammonia, Bleach or other Acid or Alkali based cleaners
Cleaning Leaded Acrylic Window: Use only clear water and mild non-abrasive detergent solution. Avoid any cleaning products with ammonia, ketones, halogens, window cleaners, kitchen scouring compounds, aromatics and solvents such as thinners, acetone, gasoline, benzene and tetrachloride. Any cleaner that is abrasive should be avoided. For disinfection or to remove adhesives, a 70% alcohol solution, followed by rinsing with clear water may be used. Always wipe dry with a soft cloth.
