DICOM Connectivity
When activated and configured, DICOM connectivity enables the ultrasound system to
exchange data – including ultrasound images and associated patient and exam data – with
DICOM-compliant archive devices, output devices and worklist applications over an
institution’s network. Each such device must be configured. Refer to DICOM Conformance
Statement.

Send Exam: Provides a means to transfer Exams to USB, CD/DVD, DICOM Server
(PACS), DICOM Media (External media with DICOM Dir included), Printers and FTP
sites.
Wireless (Option)
Mindray supports wireless connectivity using the Quatech Airborne Direct Wireless Ethernet
Bridge. This is intended as a workflow enhancement to enable remote viewing and archival
of data when a physical Ethernet connection is not available. It should not be relied upon
however when time-critical diagnoses are required as multiple environmental factors may
affect wireless connectivity performance.
The Quatech Airborne Direct Wireless Ethernet Bridge supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g wireless
standards and connects to the system through a 10-Base-T network interface. This device
supports WEP (64/128bit) and WPA encryption standards, and LEAP for network
authentication (LEAP required the Quatech device to be configured with a static 128 bit key;
this is known as “migration mode” and is not recommended for long-term use due to the
static WEP key requi
rement).
Before using it with the ultrasound system, the Quatech Airborne Direct device must be
preconfigured for the user’s networking environment – SSID, channel, encryption, and correct
addressing scheme (DHCP/ static).
When power is applied to a correctly configured Quatech Airborne Direct device that is
connected to the Ethernet port on the ultrasound system, it will require 30 to 60 seconds to
detect and then to associated with the user’s wireless network. Once a wireless network
connection is established, the ultrasound system will reflect the connection state by showing the
network icon in an uncrossed state.
