Your Complete Partner for X-Ray Sales, Installation, and Compliance Services
Maintaining the safety and performance of X-ray equipment in dental practices is a critical requirement, both for patient care and compliance with UK regulations. At Diamed Engineering, we offer a full range of X-ray services to ensure your practice is fully compliant with the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) and the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 (IR(ME)R).
What Practices Should Consider for X-Ray Compliance
Have You Implemented a Radiation Protection Plan ?
Every dental practice must have a comprehensive plan for radiation protection, which includes appointing a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) and, if necessary, a Medical Physics Expert (MPE). Both roles are essential to ensuring the safe operation of your X-ray equipment, and Diamed Engineering can assist in these consultations.
Are You Registered with HSE?
It is mandatory to register X-ray equipment with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Make sure your certificate is current and available. We can help guide you through the registration process if you haven't yet complied.
Have You Documented Your Safety Arrangements?
Documentation of your radiation protection arrangements, including training records, equipment checks, and risk assessments, is critical for both legal compliance and safe operation. Our team can help set up and maintain a Radiation Protection File, tailored to your practice.
Do You Perform Regular Quality Assurance and Performance Testing?
Routine performance checks and quality assurance (QA) audits are essential for keeping your X-ray systems functioning optimally and within safe parameters. Diamed Engineering provides these services, ensuring your equipment meets all regulatory requirements.
Is Your X-Ray Equipment Properly Maintained?
Proper maintenance by qualified professionals is vital. We offer annual mechanical and electrical testing to ensure that your X-ray units are running smoothly and safely, minimising the risk of unexpected failures.
Are Visual Inspections Conducted Regularly?
Daily or weekly visual inspections by trained staff can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. We offer training and resources to help your team carry out these checks effectively.
Are All Staff Properly Trained?
Every member of your team involved in X-ray operation should be fully trained according to IR(ME)R 2017. We can advise on training programs and ensure your staff are certified to handle X-ray systems safely.
