Patient data
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) provides a way to archive patient data by
connecting your ultrasound system over a local area network (LAN) with various archivers for storage after
every patient exam. FUJIFILM SonoSite recommends that you configure and use DICOM transfer to prevent
patient data loss in the event of a system fault. For more information, see
If you do not use DICOM networking, then FUJIFILM SonoSite recommends that you configure your system
for automatic export of patient data to a USB memory stick after every exam. For more information, see
"USB settings" on page 3-36.
System configuration settings
In addition to patient data, FUJIFILM SonoSite recommends that you back up ultrasound system
configuration settings, called presets, after you have fully configured the system and any time you modify
these settings. These backups preserve your customized settings in case of a fault in the system. For more
information, see "Presets settings"
