Scatter Armor Shields are placed on top of the patient drape to block scatter radiation at the source, creating a scat-ter-free zone, reducing harmful radiation exposure to the doctor or clinician
Infab Corporation offers a complete array of lead glass eye protection and lead glass itover frames. These attractive, stylish frames all meet the industry standard of 0.75mm lead equivalency radiation safety glass. Lead glass lenses provi-de protection from harmful radiation exposure.

Radiation Protection Standards
The new lead equivalency standard requirements are .25 mm Pb for light duty and .35 mm Pb for heavy duty aprons. This allows for a lighter weight apron that still provides all of the protection required.
The new testing range is from 50 kVp to 110 kVp. All radiation protection aprons must meet the minimum lead equivalency at each of these kVp ranges.
The new IEC standard (IEC61331-1:2014) adopted in 2014 has many changes that benefit users of radiation protection aprons.

KIARMOR is the only core material in the world currently
certified to the IEC61331-1:2014 standards and the only lead-
free core material to pass the stringent DIN standards.
KIARMOR core material is the lightest to pass IEC61331-1:2014. Any like style and size apron that is lighter than an Infab KIARMOR apron does not pass the proper testing.
If any apron manufacturer claims their like style and size apron is lighter, ask for their certification from an accredited testing facility, such as the NPL (National Physics Laboratory).
Lightest Material Ask for Certification
NPL is currently one of the few laboratories in the world with the necessary geometry, conditions and equipment to test to scatter radiation for IEC 61331-1:2014 standard.
TESTING
BTTG is the only global certification service currently certifying to IEC61331-1:2014 with NPL testing results.
COMPLIANCE
