RaySafe i3 Installation & service manual – About the RaySafe i3 System
ABOUT THE RAYSAFE i3 SYSTEM
RaySafe i3 is designed for personal use on hospital sta. It measures scattered radiation in examination rooms using a
dosimeter, and shows a graphical visualization of dose rate in real time on a display.

6: Real-time Hub, 7: Dose Manager software, 8: Dose Viewer software.
The dosimeters measure radiation and store measurements. When a dosimeter is in range of a Real-time Hub,
it automatically connects to the hub via radio. When a dosimeter is connected via radio to a Real-time Hub,
measurements are transferred once per second and are displayed as dose rate bars, low to high dose rate: green,
yellow or red.
All measurements recorded while connected to a Real-time Hub are saved in the hub and can be exported later in
dierent formats.
To view the measurements stored in a dosimeter, connect the dosimeter to a computer running Dose Viewer. Dose
Viewer can also be used for changing dosimeter settings, such as displayed name and annual dose limit.
Dose Manager is an optional analysis software.
RAYSAFE i3 IN A SIEMENS LAB
For installations in a Siemens lab:
• The reference dosimeter and the reference dosimeter holder shall not be used.
• When configuring the Real-time Hub, leave the field for reference dosimeter serial number blank.
NOTE: When no reference dosimeter is present in the system, there will be no history dose rate bars at the
right side of the screen.

A. Verify that the computer time is correct and then synchronize the dosimeter time. Be sure to do this with all
dosimeters in a lab.
B. Set the Real-time Display Mode to Show, to make the dosimeter appear on a display.
C. Set Power Mode to On to start radio communication and dose logging.
NOTE: Power Mode On includes an automatic power saving function controlled by accelerometers. When
the dosimeter is stationary for 9 minutes, it switches to power save mode (no dose logging, no
radio communication). The dosimeter wakes up again when moved. If the dosimeter is stationary
positioned, not worn by a person, turn o the automatic power saving by selecting Advanced:
Always on.
4. Press Information:
A
B
B
C
A. Set Full Name and Display Name. The Display Name appears on the display. The Full Name is visible in the
data export files from the Real-time Hub and in Dose Viewer.
B. Change Dosimeter Position, Clinical Role and Annual Dose Limit if desired. These settings do not aect the
dose registration.
