Summary
The Department determined that in the interest of protecting the public health, dose rates from fluoroscopes should not have unlimited radiation outputs but should be limited to outputs necessary to perform fluoroscopic medical procedures but no higher. The current language specifying the test points used to constrain fluoroscopic outputs is difficult for members of the public and the regulated community to understand. One of the test points discussed is incorrect. The proposed changes are being proposed to make the regulations accurate and easier to understand.
