Dose-/Dose Area Product Measuring System (VacuTec,Germany)
The modular VacuDAP dose-/dose area product measuring System
The Measuring System
The modular VacuDAP dose-/dose area product measuring system offers various ionization chambers and configurations for almost all medical diagnostic X-ray equipment in radiography, radioscopy, dental application or whole body scanners.
The use of dosimeters to control radiation doses is mandatory according to Article 17 of the Law of Ukraine «On the protection of humans from the impact of ionizing radiation».
All complete systems have a serial interface RS 232 on the display unit for connecting a printer or transmitting data to a workstation or RIS.
The VacuDAP Systems are used for simultaneous DAP (dose area product) and DAP rate measurements according to IEC 60580.
The VacuDAP duo systems additionally determine reference air kerma and reference air kerma rate in accordance to the standards IEC 60 601-2-54, IEC 60 601-2-43 and 21 CFR 1020.32.
Measuring chambers
All measuring chambers provide a serial interface RS 485 to transfer measuring data and to receive control commands by means of an ASCII protocol.
Optionally the system is available with Bluetooth® wireless technology.
The measuring chambers can be completed with several display units to many different stand alone systems to match all X-ray systems and official requirements.
Chamber resolution of 0.01 µGy·m2 for DAP enables them for use in pediatrics.
All rectangular chambers are available with an active area of 123x123 mm or 147x147 mm.
They are adaptable to all common X-ray collimators by means of different rails.
The circular chambers are designed and the calibration is set to meet the specifications of the C-arm X-ray machines.
One-field measuring systems for measurement of DAP, DAP rate and irradiation time
VacuDAP standard/fluoro/twin and VacuDAP Bluetooth® with display unit
- Three types of display units can be added to the rectangular OEM measuring
chambers to form systems VacuDAP standard, fluoro and twin:
- single-line version (standard);
- two-line version for simultaneous display of DAP and DAP rate (fluoro);
- two-line version for the parallel connection of two measuring chambers (twin).
- The measuring chamber VacuDAP Bluetooth® in connection with a Bluetooth compatible display unit saves the expense of cable installation between the measuring chamber and the operating desk and assures the same function as VacuDAP fluoro.

VacuDAP-C and VacuDAP-C Bluetooth® with display unit
- The configuration with circular ionization chamber was developed for full integration into C-arm X-ray equipment.
- The systems are designed and the calibration is set to meet the specifications of the equipment.
- The electronics supplies the measuring results as ASCII protocol via a serial interface to the display unit fluoro.
- For fast and easy installation the circular measuring chamber VacuDAP-C in connection with an additional Bluetooth adapter can be used with a Bluetooth compatible display unit.

Two-field measuring systems "duo" for simultaneous measurement of DAP, DAP rate, air kerma, air kerma rate and irradiation time
VacuDAP duo and VacuDAP Bluetooth® duo with display unit
- VacuDAP - OEM duo and VacuDAP Bluetooth® duo measuring chambers
- Display unit "Dose/DAP"
upper display line: cumulated dose
lower display line: dose rate during irradiation, cumulated DAP after irradiation
- The display unit "Dose/DAP" is available as a Bluetooth version as well.
- The measuring chamber VacuDAP Bluetooth® duo in the picture is presented with universal adjustable mounting rails.

VacuDAP-C duo and VacuDAP-C Bluetooth® duo with display unit
- The circular two field measuring system VacuDAP - C duo determines reference air kerma, reference air kerma rate and DAP, DAP rate and irradiation time.
- The data and control commands are transmitted via serial interface between the measuring chamber and the display unit "Dose/DAP".
- VacuDAP-C duo in combination with a plugged Bluetooth adapter are used with a Bluetooth compatible display unit to avoid cable installation between the measuring chamber and the operating desk.

Further DAP-Meter
VacuDAP compact
This is a compact unit designed for uncomplicated retrofitting and is equipped with an integrated display and control keys directly attached to the measuring chamber. A model with
reduced dimensions is available as a special type for mobile X-ray units having smaller collimators.
A secondary display unit that provides RS 232 interface can be connected to VacuDAP compact and acts as remote control.
