For the Hologic SecurView DX system:
Medical Physicist Procedures: - A qualified in-person Medical Physicist must perform reading room configuration testing when a room is first set up and annually thereafter. - If equipment is replaced but the room configuration remains unchanged, in-person testing is not required, though oversight by the Medical Physicist is needed. - The Medical Physicist may adjust the White Level setting based on the Lead Interpreting Physician’s recommendation. - The physicist uses Appendix A: SecurView Annual QC Form.
Radiologic Technologist Procedures: - Use MediCal QAWeb or QAWeb Enterprise software to maintain display performance. - Perform weekly tests and complete Appendix B: SecurView Weekly QC Form. - During tests: 1. Confirm “Status: OK” on the screen. 2. View recent “Hologic Compliance Test” results. 3. Verify “Action Result: OK”. 4. Record the Action Result. 5. If no test results display, follow the "Corrective Action" steps from the manual. 6. Save or print results as needed.
There is no specific mention of a separate "stereo test" procedure in the provided context.

Chapter 1 Introduction This manual provides procedures developed to ensure the consistency of the brightness, contrast, and image presentation of the displays used with Hologic’s SecurView ® diagnostic review workstations. Use the procedures and quality control (QC) forms in this manual to maintain an effective QC program that conforms to the rules of the United States Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) or to become accredited by an accreditation body.
Note It is recommended that you read through this document fully before starting to work. Note The Service Engineers must complete Hologic training courses before they operate or service a system. Product Complaints Any healthcare professional who has complaints or is dissatisfied with the quality, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, and/or performance of this product should notify Hologic.
SecurView DX Workstation V12.0 Quality Control Manual Chapter 1: Introduction Terms and Definitions Table 1: Terms and Definitions Terms Definitions cd/m Candela per square meter (cd/m ), the standard unit of luminance. It represents a luminous intensity of one candela radiating from a surface whose area is one square meter.
Chapter 2 QC Activities for the Medical Physicist Hologic provides QC software (choice of QAWeb Enterprise or MediCal QAWeb) that is used by Service Engineers and customers to establish and maintain the operating levels of the SecurView displays. The software analyzes the results of display calibration and compliance testing and indicates whether the displays meet the pre-programmed QC limits established by the manufacturer.
Review Hologic Compliance Test results. Using the QC software, check the results of the most recent Hologic Compliance Test. If the test has not been run during the last week, then run the test.
• If any performance criterion is not met, use the Auto-calibration procedure to recalibrate the display. Then rerun the Hologic or Mammography Compliance Test and verify that the display performs within the recommended limits. • A qualified Service Engineer may have to resolve any issues if display operating levels are not within recommended ranges.
Chapter 3 QC Activities for the Radiologic Technologist Hologic provides QC software (QAWeb Enterprise or MediCal QAWeb) that is used by the Radiologic Technologist to maintain the operating levels of the SecurView displays. The software analyzes the results of display calibration and compliance testing and indicates whether the displays meet the pre-programmed QC limits established by the manufacturer.
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.” •...
If any performance criterion is not met, use the Auto-calibration procedure to recalibrate the display. Then rerun the Hologic Compliance Test and verify that the display performs within the recommended limits. A qualified Service Engineer may have to resolve any issues if display operating levels are not within recommended ranges.
• External photometer sensor displays - Barco Nio (MDNG-6121 and MDNG-5121): The MediCal QAWeb software automatically alerts you to run the Hologic Compliance Test and calibrate these Barco Nio displays on a scheduled basis. You will use an external photometer to run the QC procedures. QAWeb Enterprise is not supported for these displays.
Hologic Compliance Test. Note Hologic recommends for displays older than five years that the Medical Physicist use an external photometer once per year for the luminance check to confirm that the internal photometer is still operating correctly. The luminance measured by the photometer must be within 15% of the calibrated luminance.
SecurView DX Workstation V12.0 Quality Control Manual Chapter 4: Testing the Displays When performing test procedures, note the following: • Verify that the Barco USB Photometer is plugged into the same USB port in which it was originally installed. If the sensor was removed for any reason, reconnect it as...
SecurView DX Workstation V12.0 Quality Control Manual Chapter 4: Testing the Displays 4.3.1 Reconnecting the Photometer Sensor The Barco photometer sensor is USB-port-specific and does not function if inserted into a different USB port than the one originally used when installed. After installation, there should be no need to remove the sensor from the original USB port.

Hologic Policy Map. 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. Printing the Action History provides a hardcopy record of all of the actions run on the SecurView workstation during a given month.
