Ray-Bar "Easy Clean" X-Ray Glass

Easy Clean X-Ray Glass

Ray-Bar's "Easy-Clean" X-Ray Glass provides x-ray protection from Alpha, Beta and Gamma Ionizing radiation for proper shielding of medical diagnostic imaging procedures.

Protective level: 1.6MM / 4# / 1/16" Pb shielding equivalency @ 150 kVp is minimum standard.

Additionally Ray-Bar treats and cures our x-ray glass with a permanent specialized surface coating that permeates deep into the glass crystalline structure to provide a dirt repelling easy to clean x-ray glass that resists the adhesion of bacteria to its surfaces and thus produces the results of inhibiting bacterial colonization and "bio-film" build ups.

Our coatings and treatments do not wash away or wear off from cleaning or utilizing sanitizing solutions. *Please Note: Never use any caustic or abrasive cleaners on glass products!

Glass was tested before and after our treatment coating was applied, and also compared as superior to other standard glass as tested by a Qualified Independent Microbiology Laboratory.

All laboratory tests and results verified excellent performance when utilizing properly treated-coated glass against the example of: Glass exposed to Staphylococcus aureus for resisting the pathogens bacterial adherence, and desorption performance (elimination of an absornbed substance from a surface).

*Other Available Options for this Product:

  • Easy Clean X-Ray Glass is available in higher shielding protection levels.
  • Easy Clean X-Ray Safety Glass (Impact Resistant)
  • Easy-Clean Fire Rated X-Ray Glass IGU (Insulated Glass Unit)
  • Easy Clean X-Ray Glass IGU with Integral Mini-Blinds
  • Easy Clean Laminated X-Ray Safety Glass (Impact Resistant)

HIPAA Patient Privacy Compliance (With Ray-Bar X-Ray Glass Products)

X-Ray Frosted Glass

X-Ray Frosted Glass

Ray-Bar can assist in the design and specification of specialized x-ray privacy glass. These products help the healthcare facility comply with Federal HIPAA patient privacy regulations designed to protect the privacy of the patient during the imaging process or other sensitive medical procedures.

Options of x-ray privacy glass include: frosted glass, patterned glass, internal blind units, and "mirrored" glass. These unique products provide radiation shielding while providing privacy. Another option is a switchable view from opaque to clear ("open" view or "closed" privacy) with internal mini or micro blinds.

See below for options in the privacy glass line.

Ray-Bar X-Ray Privacy Glass

X-Ray Privacy Glass

X-Ray Privacy Glass

Ray-Bar X-Ray Privacy Glass is an electronically switchable privacy glass that provides radiation shielding with the ability to instantly change from clear to privacy "frosting" either manually or automatically activated. The advantage of providing both privacy and x-ray protection is vital to patient privacy in medical imaging procedures.

When the electronic low voltage current is off, the glass is a soft opaque "frost". When the current is on, the glass is instantly clear for an unhindered view of the procedure and patient during diagnostic imaging or treatment. Contact us for additional information and size limitations.

This special x-ray glass provides a reflective privacy aspect on the lighter side, also known as "two-way glass”, "one-way mirror" or "two-way mirrored". The privacy mirroring effect is not truly "one-sided," as it will "mirror" on the greater light source side from either side of the glass. This is an excellent option for x-ray windows common to the exterior of a building as during the daytime it will provide a mirror face privacy finish on the exterior. This glass may also be utilized in a medical imaging control room window as long as the control room side is dimmed a minimum of 20% in relation to the x-ray imaging side.

Ray-Bar "Mirrored" X-Ray Glass is available in grey or bronze tint, and is also available as X-Ray Safety Glass which meets ANSI Z.97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat 2 requirements for impact resistance.
