Apron Care and Maintenance

Care and Maintenance:

• Clean with soap and water as needed.
• Do not use alcohol-base cleaners.
• Store at room temperature. Do not store below 50°F (10°C) or above 100°F (37°C).
• For storage, hang aprons or lay flat. Do not fold.
• Dispose of in accordance with federal, state and local laws.

1. Place an unexposed film behind the apron in the area that needs testing.
2. Place the x-ray cone on the opposite side of the apron from the film and aim directly at the film.
3. Expose the film at the highest level used during normal procedural exposures. Process the exposed film.
4. Using a densitometer, compare the density of the exposed film to the density of a calibrated step wedge at the step equivalent to .3mm or .5mm.
5. The density reading must be equal to or less than the reading at the calibrated step. If it is not, the apron is defective.
