Performance Criteria and Corrective Action

Performance criteria: 5% and 95% grayscale patches should be visible.

Corrective Action: Ensure the viewing conditions are appropriate. Remove any objects that are reecting an unac-

ceptable glare.

If problems persist, the REGIUS Console CS-3/CS-7 will need to have service to address the issue.

The source of the problem shall be identied and corrective action shall be taken before further patient imaging is

performed by use of that monitor. If the problematic monitor can be replaced by an alternative monitor, replace it and

repeat the test. If the new combination passes the test, patient imaging may continue using the alternative monitor.

Documentation
