I.-The quality assurance system provided for in Article L. 1333-19 corresponds to the set of actions aimed at guaranteeing the quality and safety of medical procedures using ionising radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. This system includes :
1° A statement of quality controls for medical devices as provided for in Article R. 5212-25 ;
2° A report on the recording and analysis of events that may lead to accidental or unintentional exposure of persons to ionising radiation and serious adverse events associated with care as referred to in Articles L. 1333-13 and L. 1413-14 respectively;
3° Clinical audits carried out by peers;
4° Mapping of risks associated with care. For radiotherapy, this mapping is completed by an analysis of the risks of accidental or unintentional exposure of patients.
II – The clinical audit is the evaluation method which, in the light of criteria determined by the quality assurance reference system, makes it possible to guarantee to patients the competence of the medical and nursing team, the quality of care and the safety of procedures, including patient radiation protection. These audits are carried out internally by a multi-professional team trained in auditing, and if necessary, by an external team, depending on the risks to patients.
III – Without prejudice to articles R. 5212-25 to R. 5212-34, an order from the Minister for Health defines the reference framework on which the quality assurance system is based, as well as the assessment methods and their frequency.
