X-Ray Machine Daily Checklist

X-ray Machine Daily Checklist is a standardized tool designed to monitor the operational readiness, safety compliance, and technical condition of radiography equipment in healthcare facilities. It is used for routine daily inspections, preventive control, and internal quality assurance, ensuring that the X-ray system is safe for both patients and staff before use.


The checklist covers all critical aspects of equipment readiness: from environmental and safety conditions (radiation signage, shielding, protective equipment) to system functionality, image quality verification, and availability of essential accessories. It also includes validation of exposure controls, detector performance, and basic radiation safety measures in accordance with established clinical and regulatory standards.


In TARGPatrol, the checklist is performed via a mobile application with structured inputs, mandatory fields, and support for photo documentation of equipment condition and identified issues. This approach minimizes subjective assessment, reduces the risk of missed defects, and replaces paper-based processes with traceable digital records.
