Maintaining Data Integrity
Important Information
To ensure data integrity:
To prevent the loss of data that results from power failures and other
system "down" occurrences, you must archive important data, such as
patient records, onto an external recording media, such as a CD or a
network.
Loss of data is to be expected and its retrieval is not normally possible
under the following conditions: loss of power to the ultrasound system,
hard disk failure, CPU failure, system lockup, and other similar causes.
Should an abnormal system shutdown occur, retrieval of data not saved
to the hard disk or not archived to an external recording media is not
normally possible.
An abnormal system shutdown occurs if you do not power off the
ultrasound system using the green partial power on/off switch ( )
located on the front of the system. Other examples of abnormal system
shutdown include: equipment malfunction, loss of power, or pressing
and holding the green partial power on/off switch longer than 4 seconds.
Should an abnormal system shutdown occur, the system may initially
require additional time to reboot or to respond to user input. This is due
to the operating system performing a background scan of the hard disk
to detect and segregate any truncated or corrupted files.
