The RaySafe i2 is an active dosimetry system that gives
real-time insight about personal radiation exposure. By giving
real-time, easily accessible data about their radiation exposure,
the RaySafe i2 allows medical staff to immediately change their
behavior to minimize dose.
Personal dose management is an essential component of RaySafe's
radiation safety philosophy. It is a key ingredient necessary for a
facility to achieve a culture of radiation safety, one of the
company's core missions. In fact, a study by the University of Rochester showed a 50 percent
reduction in staff dose over a nine-month period as the result of
using these real-time personal dosimeters.
"This is a huge milestone for us," explains Magnus Kristoferson, CEO for Unfors RaySafe.
"We're thrilled to see the RaySafe i2 system gaining momentum
around the world, and this is only the beginning. This is part of
the continuing commitment of Fluke Biomedical and Unfors RaySafe to
driving industry innovation and value through bringing ground
breaking solutions to the market and to our customers."
These 1,000 installations include systems sold through partners
including Philips Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare and
Toshiba Medical Systems.
"The RaySafe i2 helps keep people safe. In my opinion, there is
no greater investment a company can make than in the safety of its
employees," Bart LeClou, Personal Dosimetry Business Area Manager
for Unfors RaySafe added.
