ECC UXI Universal X-Ray Instrument PHP 500.000.

00

INTRODUCTION:
The new Universal X-ray Instrument (UXI) is capable of measuring x-ray kVp, mA, mAs, Dose, HVL and exposure
time. One exposure is needed for kVp, mA, mAs and dose. Three exposures are needed for an accurate HVL
measurement. The built in HVL calculator is used to calculate HVL. Each UXI comes with a 7 inch (178 mm) Android
tablet. With the programmable delay, the unit is capable of measuring kVp for exposure times as low as 16
milliseconds. This allows shorter exposure times minimizing xray exposure and wear and tear on the x-ray head. The
kVp measurement circuit and control program have been greatly improved compared to our other instruments.
Accurate kVp measurements can be made for a wider range of x-ray intensity with less dependancy on distance from
the x-ray head. The UXI is connected via a 14 foot (4.3 meter) cable to the tablet. Applications include verification of
peak x-ray voltage, constancy checks, calibration of x-rays, and quality assurance measurement of exposure time.
The unit is also used for half value layer determination, troubleshooting and repair of x-rays, and quality control. All
units come with a Certificate of Calibration. Yearly calibration is suggested. The introduction of the UXI allows service
personnel to carry one instrument rather than a Dose Meter, mAs Meter and a kVp Meter.
