MHRA issues warning on Tianjie Dental ‘Falcon’
Testing by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has revealed that the Tianjie Dental Falcon device lacks sufficient shielding in the X-ray tube, which could give rise to high patient doses and under typical high radiographic workloads result in operator doses in excess of the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1999 annual dose limits. This could give rise to adverse health effects caused by radiation.

Health Committee condemns CQC’s workings
Stephen Dorrell MP, chair of the Commons Health Committee has described it as ‘extraordinary’ that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) had yet to define its core purpose. A report on the CQC’s performance found a ‘worrying disconnect’ between official inspection results and the real standards experienced by patients. It also failed to communicate the results of its inspections to patients, residents and their families, the report found.

The Committee’s conclusions and recommndations appear below.
