Quality Assurance
Introduction
A good Quality Assurance Evaluation program consists of
periodic systematic actions that provide the operator with
adequate confidence that their diagnostic ultrasound system will
produce consistently high quality images and quantitative
information.
Therefore, it is in the best interest of every ultrasound operator
to routinely monitor equipment performance.
The frequency of Quality Assurance Evaluations should be
based on operator's specific needs and clinical practice.
Periodic monitoring is essential in order to detect the
performance changes that occur through normal aging of
system components. Routine equipment evaluations may also
reduce the duration of exams, number of repeat exams, and
maintenance time required.
For details on system and peripheral routine preventive
maintenance instructions, See ‘System Care and Maintenance’
on page 6-13 for more information.
