The document provides a checklist of tests to perform on a medical imaging device every 6 months and 1 year to ensure electrical safety and proper functioning. The 6 month checklist includes verifying functions of the C-arm, compression paddle, beam alignment at various angles and positions, manual mode compliance testing, and quality checks using phantoms. The 1 year checklist involves inspecting wires and grounding and the table assembly.
