Section 10-2
Why do Maintenance
10-2-1 Keeping Records
It is good business practice that ultrasound facilities maintain records of periodic and corrective
maintenance. The Ultrasound Equipment Quality Check (EQC and IQC), see: 10-8-6 "Ultrasound
Equipment Quality Check (EQC and IQC)" on page 10-30, provides the customer with documentation
that the Ultrasound system is maintained on a periodic basis.
A copy of the Ultrasound Equipment Quality Check form should be kept in the same room or near the
Ultrasound system.
10-2-2 Quality Assurance
In order to gain accreditation from organizations such as the American College of Radiology (USA), it
is the customer’s responsibility to have a quality assurance program in place for each Ultrasound
system. The program must be directed by a medical physicists, the supervising radiologist/physician or
appropriate designee.
Routine quality control testing must occur regularly. The same tests are performed during each period
so that changes can be monitored over time and effective corrective action can be taken.
Testing results, corrective action and the effects of corrective action must be documented and
maintained on the site.
Your GE service representative can help you with establishing, performing and maintaining records for
a quality assurance program. Contact GE for coverage and/or price for service.
