Business Continuity
To ensure business continuity, several options must be
considered related to data storage. The target for the images
and patient archive must be chosen to ensure safe storage of
the data. Both internal and external alternatives are supported.
Patient archive solutions
The Vscan Extend supports several alternatives for storing
images and patient information, both internal and external:
1. Local Archive: local storage on the Vscan Extend
Ultrasound system
2. Remote Archive: Only anonymized images can be stored on
Windows share. Patient information is not visible.
3. DICOM storage: storage on DICOM/PACS server
See ‘System interconnections’ on page 8-6 for more information.
Securing data on Local Archive and Local Archive Shared
If local archive is used, backup and/or transfer procedures must
be established for the local archive. If disk management is not
performed within a pre-defined period, a warning message
displays.
Securing data on Remote Archive and DICOM/PACS servers
If external archive is used, a backup procedure must be
established for the external archive. The business contingency
planning of data stored on DICOM/PACS servers is outside the
scope of this document.
Off-line mode
The Vscan Extend can operate in stand-alone mode, with the
use of Local Archive. If there are data network related problems,
which prevents the Vscan Extend from connecting to an external
patient archive, the device can be fully functional by storing
patient data/images to the Local Archive.
