Regulatory Classification

Identification

A cream for x-ray attenuation is a sterile cream intended for use as a radiation shield. It is intended to be applied to the user's hand before donning gloves, or it may be applied on a glove on the hand, followed by donning a second glove. Cream for x-ray attenuation is intended to be used during medical procedures in which hands are necessarily exposed to radiation to offer some degree of protection from radiation exposure in the diagnostic imaging range of up to 130 kVp. This may include surgical procedures that require the use of fluoroscopy or radiography or other procedures. Cream for x-ray attenuation is not intended to be used in or adjacent to the primary x-ray beam or the transmitted beam and should not be used in lieu of a Radiographic Procedure Glove, which is used in radiography for those studies requiring the physician's hand or forearm be in the direct path of the primary x-ray beam.
