Tests from the Quality Control Manual

P
Perform the acceptance tests from the Quality Control Manual (See QC Man-
ual,SPB7-250.623...,Appendix 2) for installation in ROW.
For installations in the USA, perform the acceptance tests according to QC Manual,
SPB7-250.623.50...
Remarks on the Quality Control tests:
•
Tube voltage measurement & reproducibility
The Quality Control manual suggests using a non-invasive kV meter. If you don't have
such a measurement device in your district office, use a scope to measure the kV.
Connect the oscilloscope as follows:
Channel 1 to measuring point HV_ACT
•
Beam quality (HVL)
The HVL values are supplied with the system and don't have to be measured again with
the first installation of the system. You need the HVL for the Mean glandular dose test
and you can find them in the technical documentation binder in the Röntgenprotokoll
[X-ray protocol].
Other issues
You'll find the Quality Control documentation in the Instructions for Use binder. It is
shipped with the system.
The Quality Control Manual that corresponds to the location of the installation has to be
used.
•
For the USA, the Quality Control Manual (SPB7-250.623.50.xx.24) has to be used.
•
For the ROW (Rest Of World), the Quality Control Manual (SPB7-250.623.02.xx.02)
has to be used.

Make a note in the "Start-up Protocol" on
