Calicheck Test
(See Figures 6.54 - 6.55.)
Figure 6.54. The Calicheck Test screen.
The Calicheck Test is performed with this dose calibrator after the initial calibration factors for
the Calicheck function have been taken and saved. The current Calicheck calibration test is a
calculation of the Calicheck calibration factors with the current activity readings.
The Calicheck Linearity test should be performed at installation and at least quarterly thereafter.
To Perform A Calicheck Linearity Test:
1. From the QA Dose Calibrator menu, touch <Linearity Testing>. The Linearity Testing
screen
is displayed.
2. Touch <Calicheck Test>. The Calicheck Test screen is now displayed.
• Touch <Back> to return to the Linearity Testing screen.
• Touch <Select Detector> to select a different detector, if multiple detectors are connected.
• Touch <Zero Background> to zero the background reading if necessary.
NOTE: The starting activity used for the Calicheck Test should be a similar activity to the
initial Calicheck Test.
3. Place the Tc-99m vial into the Calicheck Black Tube. Place the Black Tube into the detector.
The activity for the Black Tube is now displayed as a live reading.
4. Once the reading has stabilized, touch <Record Reading>. The reading for the Black Tube
only is recorded and the line for the Black and Red Tube is now displayed as a live reading.
