Guidance for Disposal of X-ray Machines

 

You mus= t report the final disposition of the X-ray machine on the Radi= ation Machine Registration form (RH2261). Upon r= eceipt of proper documentation, the = Radiologic Health Branch will remove the X-ray machine(s) from your machine registrat= ion inventory. Proper and credible doc= umentation (e.g. service reports evidencing disassembly or disabling of the machine, photos, sales contract, etc.) must clearly demonstrate the disposition of = the X-ray machine. Contin= ued registration is required for X-ray machines that are not used but are physically presen= t in a facility or are in storage.

 

NOTE<= span style=3D'font-family:Arial'>: This guidance does not apply to particle accelerators.

 

Regarding Disposal<= o:p>

Although there is no residual radiation, there may be environmental restrictions on what components may go into a land-fill after disassembly,= such as chemical contaminants in cooling oil. Any hazardous materials should be disposed of by appropriately licensed companies or authorities.=

 

 

 

Ø      The X-ray machine components may be returned to a comme<= /st1:PersonName>rcial X-Ray machine assembler or vendor; or

Ø      The X-ray machine may be totally disabled and the components sold as scrap metal or disposed of according to your county= ’s environmental requirements; = or

Ø      The X-ray machine may be rendered non-functional by disassembly and/or compone= nt removal such that repair and use may not be readily affected. <= /span>

&n= bsp;

Again, = please note that you must report the final disposition of the X-ray machine on th= e Radi= ation Machine Registration form (RH2261) with the substantiating documentation attached. Failure to provide adequate documentation will prevent RHB from performing the requested action. Continued registration and inspection will be required in such events.

 

Mammography Facilities<= /span>

With regard to additional mammogra= phy facility reporting requirements, see Guidance for Closing a Mammography Facility.

 

For additional info= rmation on reporting other registration status changes, see Guidance for Reporting Registered Facility Changes.
