HDR Emergency Shield for VariSource.

The HDR Emergency Shield was designed to shield the VariSource HDR system in the case of source retraction failure.  The HDR Emergency shield can be rolled into position with the shield in front and covering the top of the VariSource.  This will allow the Physicist or therapist protection from exposure while moving the VariSource to a corner of the room in an emergency situation.  The patient can then be removed from the room. 

The top, front and both sides of the shield are 1" (2.54 cm) lead covered with steel and finished with tan powder coating.  The vertical supports in the front are lead filled so there is no corner leakage.  The bottom of the lead shield is 15.6" (39.6 cm) from the floor.  The depth of the side shielding at the bottom of the shield is 8.5" (21.6 cm) and 20.5" (52.1 cm) at the top of the shield.  The angled supports provide bracing for the shield.

The shield has one handle in the front and two on the sides with all three located in a shield area.  The four casters also facilitate easy movement and the locks assure the shield stays in place.
