This Modular X-ray Unit was factory-built and transported to be assembled on site with only seven-day of installation work. To ensure the safety for health workers and patients in the area, the air flow system in the said Modular X-ray unit is proceeded with negative pressure room to control the air pressure and ventilation as well as to prevent the air leakage. Also, before letting the air flowing out of the unit, the air would be cleansed and managed properly with the health standard to reduce the possibly spreading of virus.
The Modular X-ray Unit is composed with two parts:
- Control room
This part is for medical personnel only. It is for operating and controlling the Modular X-ray machine. There is a radiation barrier for safety when at work. The doctor therefore can communicate with patient through the intercommunication device.
