Annual Maintenance Records
Records of all equipment inspected and maintained during the annual maintenance must be recorded.
Records should indicate:
• the date of the inspection and maintenance.
• name of the qualified individual performing the required inspections.
• problems found and maintenance or repairs performed.
• model number and serial number of the exposure device.
• associated equipment that was inspected and maintained.
• part numbers and associated lot numbers or serial numbers of replacement parts installed.
Model 880 Series Safety Class A Components
Safety Class A Designation Items
Items that comprise the Model 880 Series radiographic exposure device and associated equipment that
are critical for safe radiological operation are classified as Class A items or components. Class A items
can be structures, components and systems whose failure or function could directly result in a condition
adversely affecting public health and safety. This would include extreme conditions such as the loss of
primary containment with a subsequent release of radioactive material and or a loss of shielding creating
a substantial safety hazard. Replacement parts that are sent to you with a safety Class A designation are
clearly marked with lot numbers and contain instructions to maintain traceability.
Considerations of Safety Class A Items
Users of the Model 880 Series exposure devices and associated equipment must recognize their
responsibilities of maintaining the integrity of the Type B(U)-96 (or Type A) package and the control of
Safety Class A items and components by:
• maintaining traceability of Class A replacement items or components to a specific exposure device or
an associated component.
• use of manufacturer specified items to maintain the integrity of the exposure device/transport
package according to the certifications. Do not use generic grade items or components that do not
meet original design specifications.
• performance of periodic inspections to verify the Class A items are not excessively worn from long
term use or have been damaged from accidents.
• use and handling of the system consistent with its design and intended application.
• promptly notifying the manufacturer in the event a Safety Class A item or component which contains
a defect or deviates from the original design specifications. This action will initiate a formal evaluation
of the defect or deviation.
