Patient Data Protection
The Lumify app does not encrypt patient data. It is your responsibility to configure your device
to meet your local security policies and regulatory requirements. Consult your healthcare-IT
security department to ensure that your device is configured in accordance with your specific
requirements for information security.
Philips recommends that you protect patient data by encrypting your device and setting a
password or passcode as a screen lock for your device, in accordance with your institution's
security policies and requirements. For instructions, see the documentation that accompanies
your device.
When you are finished using the system, you can briefly press the On/Off control on the device
to lock the screen and prevent unauthorized access to patient data, or you can simply shut
down the system, which logs you off automatically. For more information about patient data
protection, see Shared Roles for System and Data Security on your User Information CD or in
the Support section of the Lumify portal:

The Lumify Ultrasound System is not intended for long-term storage of patient data. Export
exams frequently and delete them after they are exported. You can hide patient data on
exported images and loops (see “Exporting Exams” on page 106 and “Showing or Hiding
Patient Data on Exported Images” on page 107). You can also delete all patient data from the
Lumify system (see “Deleting Patient Data and Lumify Settings” on page 86).
Wireless Networking
For information about configuring your device for wireless networking, see the documentation
that accompanies your device.
It is your responsibility to configure the wireless network security mechanisms that are
compatible with your network. Consult your healthcare IT security department to ensure that
your device is configured in accordance with your specific requirements for information
security.
