Absorbed X-Ray Dose Kit for the Omnibed GE Heater: 6600-0220-850
Neonatal and maternal systems are a separate area of GE medical equipment, which includes the Omnibed heaters (6600 series) for newborn care. Such systems are used in neonatal departments and maternity units, and their correct functioning and completeness directly affect the safety of the infant.
In this guide we look at the absorbed X-ray dose kit for the Omnibed heater (PN 6600-0220-850) — its purpose, its role in controlling radiation exposure, replacement and procurement for clinics in Russia and the CIS.
1. What the Omnibed heater is
Omnibed is a system (heater/device) from the «maternal and infant equipment» category, intended to maintain the thermal regime of a newborn. Temperature control, the microclimate and auxiliary functions are critical for premature and newborn infants.
The completeness and correct functioning of the consumable elements of such a system are part of the department's safety schedule.
2. The role of absorbed radiation dose control
During X-ray examinations of newborns it is important to control radiation exposure. A child's body, especially a premature one, is sensitive to ionising radiation, which is why dose recording and limitation measures are applied:
- •Recording the absorbed dose — control of the total radiation exposure of the patient.
- •Limiting repeat examinations — minimising unjustified irradiation.
- •Protection and shielding — reducing the dose to areas not being examined.
Kit 6600-0220-850 relates to this function of the Omnibed system.
