Importing Images - Clarity RetCam3 User Manual

118 Chapter 7

Importing Images

Except for data backup, the export destination on the network is an intermediate location.
To complete the data transfer and make the images available for viewing on another
RetCam system, you must use the RetCam software to import the transferred images into
the target system database.
RetCam 3 and RetCam Shuttle User Manual
Never connect the RetCam System to a network or any externally powered
devices or peripherals during imaging.
NOTE
To ensure exam date and time are displayed accurately, determine the time
zone in which the patient data was originally captured. Create a domain with
the location set to that time zone. Import patient data into that domain.
NOTE
The Import function can be a very time consuming process. The
recommended maximum import per single batch is 2000 images. It is
strongly recommended that you limit batch size by importing images from
one patient at a time and by selecting only the images required for your
immediate needs.
NOTE
Files imported to RetCam Review Station version 4.1 or RetCam 5.x can be
exported as MLX files and then imported into RetCam system software
version 6.x.
To import legacy (pre-version 4.x) RetCam still images into RetCam system
software version 6.x, first import the legacy images into RetCam Review
Station version 4.1. Then, export those images from RetCam Review Station
as MLX files and import them into RetCam system software V6.x.
You cannot directly import legacy (pre-version 4.x) RetCam video files into
RetCam system software version 6.x.
NOTE
Patient data imported into a RetCam version 6.x device from a RetCam
version 5.x device will yield unexpected results in the Exam Weight field.
NOTE
Use the MLX format when importing images captured on another RetCam
device. Use the DICOM format when importing images from non-RetCam
devices.
