Vischeck is an intelligent quality control system, designed to make x-ray film quality and film processor management simple and easy.

• Uses a pre-exposed x-ray film test strip to assess chemical condition and processor operation
• Electronic reader simply indicates fault conditions
• Shows when the processing chemicals require changing
• Simple to use without special training
• Helps avoid poor quality imaging and time-wasting and embarrassing retakes
• An important contribution to good practice management

The quality control challenge
For quality and consistency in film-based imaging, an x-ray film processor must be operating to its full potential. Until now, the usual way of gauging the efficiency of a processor and the condition of its chemistry has been by subjective assessment of the processed films. The difficulty of identifying problems such as exhausted chemicals or incorrect temperature etc. can lead to poor quality images of limited diagnostic value.

The Vischeck solution
The Vischeck quality control system transforms the management of processor condition and film quality. A simple procedure, requiring no special training, provides an accurate indication of a processor’s status and its ability to deliver a satisfactory result. It merely involves opening a Vischeck pre-exposed test strip in the processor’s daylight loader or in a darkroom, then feeding it into the processor in the same way as you would a normal x-ray film. On completion of the processing cycle, the developed test strip is inserted into the electronic reader, and an indicator light signals whether the machine is currently able to process films to a high diagnostic standard.
