User Quality Control Mode (UQCM)

To address the increasing levels of medical radiation exposure and complexity of X-ray equipment, regulatory bodies and professional medical associations across the globe have introduced quality assurance standards and regulations, including the European 2013/59/ EURATOM directive and the NEMA XR 27-2012 standard. The Azurion UQCM option aids you in complying with these regulations. We’ve designed it with convenient online training for certification, and to be easy to access and easy to use to fit your daily work.

UQCM users follow a short and simple online training to learn proper use of the UQCM option. They can complete it at their convenience. After being certified, UQCM users are authorized to start using the UQCM option. Once trained, users receive a personalized key to easily access system and radiation-related settings and to run system tests. Only authorized users are allowed to access the UQCM option.

Users can easily work in a secure and separate testing environment so they cannot affect default system settings. They can quickly return to clinical mode, for example, in an emergency situation. A warning message is clearly displayed on the clinical user interface, when the system is in test mode. All activity is collected in a log file while testing. This allows users to check the status of the test at any time during long quality tests.
