S.D. Admin. R. 44:03:01:12.01
The licensee shall provide that calibrations are performed on a diagnostic radiographic system if that system does not meet the minimum performance criteria specified in §§ 44:03:01:08.02 to 44:03:01:08.07, inclusive, and if there is any change or replacement of components that could cause a change in the radiation output of that system.
The calibration may not exceed three months after any change or replacement of components that could cause a change in the radiation output. The calibration of the radiation output of the X ray system shall be performed by or under the direction of a qualified expert. Calibration of the radiation output of an X ray system shall be performed with a calibrated dosimetry system. Any X ray machine shall be surveyed by the department of a qualified expert every three years to verify the X ray machine meets the standards of this chapter. Any X ray machine not meeting the standards of this chapter must be calibrated. Any computed tomography system shall be surveyed by a medical physicist prior to clinical use and on an annual basis.
