Description
Product Overview
The FixtureDisplays Porta Shield is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern radiology departments, providing dependable protection against scattered X‑Ray, MRI and CT radiation. Constructed from a combination of high‑grade metal framing, resilient cloth covering, and a 0.5mm lead‑equivalent layer, the shield balances safety with maneuverability. The panel measures 24 inches by 24 inches, while the overall footprint of the unit is 24 inches wide, 54.5 inches tall at maximum extension, and 23 inches deep, allowing it to fit comfortably in most treatment rooms. Its weight of 8.7 pounds is distributed across a sturdy base equipped with six swivel castors, four of which lock securely to maintain stability during procedures. The shield’s adjustable height mechanism enables clinicians to set the protective barrier anywhere between 28.5 and 54.5 inches, accommodating patients of varying sizes and procedural requirements.

Usage
In a typical radiology suite, the Porta Shield is positioned between the radiation source and the patient to intercept stray photons, thereby reducing exposure to staff and surrounding equipment. Its mobility allows technologists to quickly relocate the shield for different imaging angles, whether performing a lumbar spine X‑Ray, a head CT scan, or an MRI examination that requires supplemental shielding. The lockable castors ensure the unit remains stationary once positioned, preventing accidental movement that could compromise safety. Because the shield is lightweight yet robust, it can be stored on a wall‑mounted rack when not in use, freeing valuable floor space. The intuitive height adjustment lever requires no tools, enabling rapid configuration changes between patients, which is essential for high‑throughput clinical environments.

FAQ
What type of radiation does the Porta Shield protect against?
The shield is designed to attenuate scattered photons from X‑Ray, CT and MRI procedures. Its 0.5mm lead‑equivalent layer meets the attenuation requirements for typical diagnostic imaging energies, reducing exposure to staff and surrounding equipment.
How is the height adjustment performed?
Height is adjusted using a simple lever located on the side of the frame. Lifting or lowering the lever releases the locking mechanism, allowing the panel to slide smoothly to the desired position. Once set, the lever automatically re‑engages to lock the height in place.
Can the shield be used in a sterile environment?
Yes. The metal‑cloth covering can be wiped down with approved disinfectants without degrading the lead‑equivalent material. The design avoids seams and crevices where contaminants could accumulate, supporting strict aseptic protocols.
What maintenance is required to keep the shield effective?
Routine visual inspection for dents or wear, cleaning of the cloth surface with mild disinfectant, and periodic testing of lead‑equivalence are recommended. Castor wheels should be lubricated annually to maintain smooth movement.
Is the shield compatible with existing radiology equipment?
The Porta Shield is a standalone protective screen that can be positioned alongside any standard imaging table or gantry. Its dimensions and adjustable height make it adaptable to a wide range of equipment footprints without requiring modifications.
