[Intl_DxMedPhys] OEC 3D C-arm Testing

[Steuterman, Stephen]

Hello all,


Portable C-arms are transported to multiple locations frequently by lithotripsy companies.  Typically, they have their annual physicist testing, and I don't believe they do any additional testing after each move.   Are there different requirements for a 3D C-arm?  I have a friend at an imaging center, who has a tech who wouldn't use a OEC 3D C-arm after it was returned from another location.    The tech said the FSE told her a EPE eval was required after transport and prior to patient use.   I wasn't able to find that requirement in the user's manual, and the FSE didn't give me the reference either.

Do you do a full physicist test every time the 3D C-arm is transported?

Thanks

Steve
