Use the display QC software (QAWeb) provided with each SecurView workstation. For
detailed instructions on using the software, refer to section Testing the Displays
on
page 13.
To run the annual QC check, do the following:

tracking documentation in use per local policy. Verify that the SecurView displays
have been operating within the recommended tolerance limits.

of the most recent Hologic Compliance Test. If the test has not been run during the
last week, then run the test.

Test results are within the recommended tolerance limits.
