Advantages & Features
-
Protects the nurse pushing drugs at the IV pole.
-
Eliminates physician distraction by providing peace of mind for those physicians concerned for the nurses location during x-ray imaging.
-
Prevents any delays in procedures caused by the nurse needing to be at the IV pole during x-ray imaging.
-
During emergencies, such as a STEMI, standard mobile shielding is often in the way. The Rad-Guard® mounted with the pumps on the IV pole ensures that a radiation barrier remains near the source of scatter radiation.
-
Attaches quickly to existing IV poles and was designed with easy pump accessibility in mind.
-
Plastic polymer shell can be wiped down with any disinfecting chemical.
-
Bracket offset of Standard Version allows the Rad-Guard® to be higher or lower in relation to any equipment already on the IV pole. Just remove it from the pole, flip it over 180º, and reattach.
-
