Table Top Radiographic Uniformity results tabs are now displayed. Select the
Low Air Tab.
11. If the Global Stats S.D. (2) is less than 2.0, the instrument is properly
aligned.
If the Global Stats S.D. is greater than or equal to 2.0, then the machine is not
aligned properly. Check the following:
•
If the image appears "streaky" or "banded", check for loose wires or other
debris between the table and the tank.
•
Check the Aperture Calibration (see page 3-53).
•
Check AC Line voltage.
•
Check +/- 15V Power Supply
•
Check Detector Flattening on page 3-55.
•
Re-run daily QC (see the Discovery User's Guide).
Print a copy of the test results and inlcude it with the other paperwork being
returned to Hologic.
After realignment, repeat the Table Top Radiographic Uniformity test. If the
global S.D. is less than 2.0, you are done. If the global S.D. if equal or greater
than 2.0, print a copy of the test results and include it with the other paperwork
being returned to Hologic.
If the global is equal to or greater than 2.0, the non-uniformity may be attributed
to the table itself. If so, continue with this procedure. Make sure that the machine
has body composition loaded. If it does, then follow the appropriate procedure
below.
3.5.19 Instruments using Body Composition Analysis (BCA)
Instruments performing BCA must have a global S.D. of less than 2.0. If the realignment
and recalibration procedures above have been performed and an S.D. of less than 2.0
cannot be obtained, then the tabletop must be replaced.
Note: Archive the air scans you have acquired and either e-mail or ship them to a
Technical Support Specialist at Hologic headquarters for final evaluation.
