How do I purchase x-ray equipment or lasers at Tufts?
Prior to purchase of any x-ray equipment [fluoro, C-arms, general diagnostic, x-ray diffraction, etc.] Boston Health Physics + EH&S Radiation Safety should be notified as soon as possible so that shielding and other safety requirements can be evaluated. X-ray equipment must also be registered with the MA Radiation Control Program [MA RCP]. Any fees are the responsibility of the unit owner/researcher. Contact the Radiation Safety Officer at 617-636-3450. Class 3b and 4 lasers also must be registered with the MA RCP. In addition, a safety evaluation must be performed prior to use of the laser. Contact Tufts EH&S office when planning the purchase of Class 3b and 4 lasers at 617-636-3450. [Note: Under a new classification system for lasers, Class 3b lasers may also be referred to as Class 3B].
