Digital Mammography: Hologic MG Products: Affirm Biopsy, SecurView DX, R2 Cenova CAD, and ATEC Sapphire

Overview

This Hologic Mammography Products training course will provide engineers the necessary knowledge to maintain systems that interface with the Hologic Dimensions 2D or 3D Tomo, and the Hologic Selenia 2D systems. Given today’s regulatory environment maintaining the system at peak performance is of the utmost importance.

At the completion of this course students will be able to perform system maintenance procedures including:

  • System install
  • Configurations and adjustments
  • Software load, including necessary hardware configuration
  • Quality Control Checks/Tests
  • Preventive Maintenance
  • Troubleshooting

Systems covered in this training class include:

  • Affirm Biopsy (Upright)
  • SecurView DX Diagnostic Workstation
  • R2 Cenova CAD
  • ATEC Sapphire Vacuum Module
