2: QC Activities for the Medical Physicist
Hologic provides QC software (choice of QAWeb Enterprise or MediCal QAWeb) that is
used by Service Engineers and customers to establish and maintain the operating levels
of the SecurView displays. The software analyzes the results of display calibration and
compliance testing and indicates whether the displays meet the pre-programmed QC
limits established by the manufacturer.
Caution:
Connecting a QAWeb agent to a QAWeb server may overwrite the required Hologic
Policy Map. When connecting to a QAWeb server, contact Technical Support at
+1.800.760.8342 to obtain the correct version of QAWeb that will maintain the
required Hologic Policy Map.
During SecurView system installation, a Service Engineer uses the software to calibrate
the displays. After installation, Radiologic Technologists use the software for the
following two tests:
• Weekly: The Hologic Compliance Test within QAWeb verifies that the displays are
performing within the preprogrammed limits. The Technologist records the results in
the SecurView Weekly QC Form.
• Semi-Annual Auto-Calibration: The QAWeb software calibrates the displays twice
per year to re-establish the operating levels. The Technologist records the results in
the SecurView Weekly QC Form.
Note
For the Barco Uniti
TM
, High-Brightness, Coronis, and Barco Nio MDNG-5221 displays,
the QAWeb software runs the tests automatically. For the Barco Nio MDNG-6121 and
MDNG-5121 displays, the Technologist must use a photometer and run the tests
manually as explained in section Manually Calibrating Displays on page 31
.
In addition, Hologic recommends using QAWeb software for the following test:
• Annually: The Medical Physicist checks the most recent results of the Hologic
Compliance Test and records them in the SecurView Annual QC Forms. Refer to
Appendix A: SecurView Annual QC Form for Medical Physicists on page 41
.
Note
When displays are replaced or relocated the Medical Physicist needs to perform the
Hologic Compliance Test results check.
