QA Programs

X-Ray Department Quality Assurance Programs

Governmental regulations for required maintenance and repair of x-ray equipment have become much more stringent. For example, facilities in the State of Maryland are now required to have annual maintenance on their x-ray equipment performed by a service provider registered with the State of Maryland. Fines will be assessed on facilities failing to have this annual maintenance. In addition, the State of Maryland’s new policy on periodic inspections is as follows: “If any violations are cited at a facility, even if they are corrected, the facility will receive a monetary penalty.” Under prior Maryland regulations, a fine would not normally be imposed if required repairs were completed within a 10-day grace period. Some service providers consider annual maintenance to consist of taking a few exposures, lubricating moving parts, checking connections, and other fairly simple tasks. Our annual maintenance includes a great deal more. When we are finished, you will receive a multi-page report of the work done, test results, recommendations and comments.

The following is a partial list of the work that Omni Imaging will perform:

Administrative/Facility Documentation

Radiation Machine Data

Radiation Control Devices, Timers

Processing-Automatic Processors

These are just a few of the checks that we perform during our Quality Assurance check up. At Omni Imaging we help our clients maintain their equipment to the high standards that your patients deserve. Our service engineers work in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., Delaware and parts of West Virginia.
