Daily Calibration Procedure
Note:
A daily System Quality Assurance Calibration must always be performed prior to patient scan-
ning to ensure quality scan results. If a successful calibration has not been completed within the last
14 days, scanning will be disabled.
1. Check the Standard and QC Phantom for Damage
Calibration failure may occur if internal elements in the QA Calibration Standard become misaligned, bent, or
cracked. This kind of damage can occur if the Standard is dropped.
a. Check the QA Calibration Standard for bent corners or damaged plastic. No loose parts should be heard if it
is shaken. If the Standard is damaged, contact your Norland Technical Support representative. See "Cus-
tomer Service Contact Information" on page 1-3.
