CHAPTER 6
System Quality Verification
System Quality Verification must be performed daily,
preferably before the first measurement of the day.
The phantom and the probe must be at room temperature when
conducting System Quality Verification (SQV). If you start up
Omnisense on a cold morning, the phantom may take as much
as an hour to stabilize at room temperature. For this reason,
SQV is specified as required once daily, but need not precede
all SOS measurements of the day.
6.1 About System Quality Verification
System Quality Verification (SQV) checks if the system and the
probes are working properly by examining the signals returned
when the phantom is used as a substitute for bone. The phantom
is illustrated in Figure 6.1. The phantom is made from a stable
material such as Perspex through which ultrasound signals
propagate at known speeds.
