Section G. QUALITY CONTROL
You must complete one summary for each ultrasound unit and transducer tested. For scanners employing
more than one transducer, tests should be done using two probes commonly used with the instrument.
These should be of different formats such as one linear (curvilinear) array and one sector (mechanical,
phased or vector). Attach this summary to the QC checklist for each transducer tested. Additionally, attach
corrective action for any QC tests marked "Change".
