How to Automate QA Routines with PerfectLum Scheduler

 

In clinical and professional imaging environments, consistent image quality is critical. Quality Assurance (QA) routines ensure that displays used for diagnostics or visual inspection meet strict compliance standards. However, manually performing QA checks on multiple displays can be time-consuming, prone to human error, and difficult to scale. That’s where PerfectLum Scheduler comes in—a powerful feature in PerfectLum, the professional-grade display calibration and QA software by QUBYX Software Technologies Inc.

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to automate QA routines using the PerfectLum Scheduler, saving you time, ensuring compliance, and improving workflow efficiency.

What is PerfectLum Scheduler?

PerfectLum Scheduler is a built-in tool within PerfectLum that allows IT administrators, QA managers, and medical imaging professionals to:

• Automate calibration and QA tests
• Schedule routines at regular intervals
• Run unattended checks on multiple displays
• Ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., DICOM, AAPM TG270, DIN 6868-157)

The Scheduler eliminates the need for manual intervention, helping you maintain optimal display performance 24/7.

 

Step-by-Step: Automating QA with PerfectLum Scheduler

1- Launch PerfectLum Software

Start by opening the PerfectLum application on the workstation or display terminal you want to manage. Make sure your calibration device (e.g., a colorimeter or photometer) is connected.

2- Go to Scheduler Panel

Navigate to the Scheduler tab within the PerfectLum interface. Here, you’ll see a clean dashboard where you can create, edit, or monitor scheduled tasks.

3- Create a New QA Task

Click “Add Task” or “New Schedule.”

• Task Name: Choose a recognizable name (e.g., “Monthly DICOM QA Test“)
• Display Selection: Select the monitor(s) you wish to include in the task.
• QA Type: Choose the QA routine (e.g., Visual Test, Constancy Test)
• Frequency: Choose how often it should run (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals)

4- Set Timing and Recurrence

Specify:

• Start time and date
• Repeat pattern (e.g., every Monday at 3 AM)
• Duration or end date (optional)

This is especially useful in healthcare environments where tests must be run outside working hours to avoid disruption.

5- Enable Notifications (Optional)

PerfectLum Scheduler can send alerts or reports via email once the task is completed or if it fails. Configure your email settings under the Preferences tab and attach notifications to your QA routine for peace of mind.

It is saved automatically.

 

Monitoring QA Tasks

• Logs & Reports: PerfectLum automatically generates detailed QA reports after each test. These can be accessed from the Reports tab or exported for audits.
• Dashboard View: The Scheduler dashboard shows upcoming tasks, current task status, and any missed schedules—making oversight easy for IT teams.
• Multi-Workstation Sync: In enterprise environments, all QA routines can be managed from a centralized server setup using PerfectLum Remote Management.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance

For industries like radiology, pathology, and industrial quality control, staying compliant with standards like:

• DICOM GSDF
• AAPM TG270
• DIN 6868-157
• IEC 62563-1
• NYPDM
• ACR

is non-negotiable. PerfectLum Scheduler ensures you never miss a required QA interval, and its automated records can serve as documented proof during inspections or audits.
