Let $\mathcal{QA}$ denote the class of bounded linear Hilbert space operators T which satisfy the operator inequality $T^*|T^2|T{\geq}T^*|T|^2T$. Let $f$ be an analytic function defined on an open neighbourhood $\mathcal{U}$ of ${\sigma}(T)$ such that $f$ is non-constant on the connected components of $\mathcal{U}$. We generalize a theorem of Sheth [10] to $f(T){\in}\mathcal{QA}$.
