EPE - Equipment Performance Evaluation

Equipment  Performance Evaluations (EPE) are designed to ensure the safety of X-ray machines to patients, technicians and the general public. This is achieved by calibrating and certifying each x-ray machine to prevent unnecessary radiation exposure. The state of Texas, along with most other states require periodic EPE certificates on each X-ray machine in use.


Equipment Performance Evaluations by DuraPro Health include minor adjustments or repairs (not including parts) to bring units into compliance. If the unit cannot feasibly be brought into compliance and must be replaced, we credit the EPE charge towards the purchase of a replacement unit from DuraPro Health. Our trained Technicians will perform, record and provide the EPE form to your office for submission to the relevant state authorities. We can also provide alternative solutions in the case a cone beam, panoramic, or intraoral x-ray fails an EPE test.
