3.1 QC Procedures for the Radiologic Technologist
Hologic recommends that a Radiologic Technologist check the performance of SecurView
diagnostic workstation displays using the following procedures. Use the QC software
(choice of QAWeb Enterprise or MediCal QAWeb) provided with each workstation. For
detailed instructions on using the software, refer to section Testing the Displays
on
page 13.
To run the weekly QC check:
1. Run the Hologic or Mammography Compliance Test.
Note
For displays that support scheduled Compliance Tests, verify successful completion of
the tests the morning after the scheduled Compliance Tests occur. If the system failed
one or more of the tests, the source of the problem must be identified, and corrective
action taken, before the system is used for clinical purposes. Refer to section
Corrective
Action on page 11.
• For the Barco Uniti, High-Brightness, Coronis, and Barco Nio MDNG-5221 displays,
QAWeb automatically runs the Compliance Test once per week. Verify that the test
ran as scheduled and the Status displayed is “OK.”
• For Barco Nio MDNG-6121 and MDNG-5121 displays, MediCal QAWeb prompts
you to run the Hologic Compliance Test once per week. Run the test with the
photometer and, when done, verify that the Action Result displayed is “OK.”
• When the QC Check is done, verify that “Result: OK” displays.
• If results are not “OK,” refer to section Corrective Action on page 11.
2. Record the results in the Appendix B: SecurView Weekly QC Form for Radiologic
Technologists on page 43 or alternative QC tracking documentation in use per local
policy.
Note
Hologic strongly recommends saving the MediCal QAWeb Action History monthly to
prevent data loss in the event of a system failure. Hologic also recommends saving the
Action History prior to a SecurView upgrade. Refer to section
Saving the MediCal
QAWeb Action History on page 37.
To run the semi-annual calibration:
1. If the displays have not been calibrated during the last six months, use the QC
software (Auto-calibration) to calibrate them.
2. Record the results in the
Appendix B: SecurView Weekly QC Form for Radiologic
Technologists on page 43.
