Every garment fully X-rayed at our mobile trailer parked on your hospital grounds. No imaging rooms used. No staff disruption. Audit-ready digital reports delivered the same day.
Research published in the Journal of Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology has found that a significant percentage of lead aprons in uninspected facilities have defects. Small tears can grow substantially over the course of just months, putting staff and patients at risk of unnecessary radiation exposure. Regular lead apron cleaning and maintenance can also help identify visible wear early and support better equipment longevity.
The Joint Commission (TJC) requires annual inspection and documentation of all radiation protective equipment. Facilities that fall behind on inspections risk audit findings, compliance violations, and – most importantly – compromised safety.
Shield Renu ensures every apron is documented with a full digital report – ready for any audit, instantly. Our inspection process aligns with The Joint Commission, AORN, and CDC standards for radiological equipment maintenance. Every apron is carefully inspected, cleaned, tagged, and logged to help healthcare facilities maintain compliance, organization, and radiation safety standards.

Our fully-equipped trailer is set up on your hospital grounds. No imaging rooms are used or disrupted.
Each garment undergoes a complete radiographic scan to detect holes, cracks, thinning, and hidden defects.
Results are compiled into a detailed digital report with pass/fail status, defect photos, and right at your fingertips.
All results are instantly available in the Shield Renu app for ongoing tracking and future audits.
A radiological lead apron inspection is a specialized evaluation that helps identify cracks, tears, thinning, and other defects within lead aprons and radiation protection garments. Regular inspections help healthcare facilities verify that protective equipment continues to provide the intended level of radiation shielding.
A lead apron inspection is an important part of a comprehensive radiation safety inspection program. Over time, lead aprons can develop hidden damage that may not be visible during routine visual checks. Periodic inspections help detect internal defects and support radiation protection compliance efforts.
A typical lead apron inspection checklist may include visual examination, identification tracking, condition assessment, imaging-based inspection for internal defects, documentation of findings, and recommendations regarding the continued use of the garment. A thorough checklist helps maintain consistent inspection records.
