At what time interval will the fluoro timer typically go off?

The fluoro timer is a safety feature designed to limit the duration of fluoroscopic examinations, helping to reduce the patient's exposure to radiation. The typical time interval for the fluoro timer to go off is after 5 minutes of continuous fluoroscopy. This interval aligns with established standards and regulations aimed at ensuring patient safety.

By alerting the operator at this point, the timer encourages the medical professional to reassess the necessity of continued imaging and to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure. Keeping this in mind, the 5-minute mark serves as a prudent safeguard for both patient well-being and effective management of radiation use during procedures.
