Through our PACS system, we can print mammograms at multiple locations throughout our hospital system. What are the requirements for maintenance of QC records.

You must maintain QC records for all printers that you do print to, not all those that you can print to. For example, assume there are 5 mammography facilities within your group, each facility has a printer, and all are linked via a data network. If Facility 1rints its own films, but occasionally has Facility 2 print films for patients examined at Facility 1, then Facility 1 must maintain records for its own printer and that of facility 2. Facility 1 need not maintain records for facilities 3, 4, and 5.
