Safety

For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when setting up the equipment.

• Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment.

• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power source match the voltage and frequency

inscribed on the equipment’s electrical rating label.

• Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment. Dangerous voltages may

be present.

• Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Rorke Data is not

responsible for the safety or regulatory compliance of a modified Rorke product.

• Do not block or cover the openings of the Rorke Data product. Never place a Rorke Data

product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause

overheating and affect the reliability of the Rorke Data product.

• For products with multiple power cords, all power cords must be disconnected to completely

remove power from the system.

• Do not operate Rorke Data products without the covers in place. Failure to take this

precaution might result in personal injury and system damage.

• The motherboard contains a coin-cell battery (CR2032) that powers the real-time clock and

CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an

estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the

power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at

25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied.

CAUTION

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Batteries should be

recycled where possible. Disposal of used batteries must be in accordance with local

environmental regulations.

CAUTION: If the DICOM Appliance is connected directly to a piece of Medical Equipment it should be

connected to a common ground or provision for an equipotential ground connection should be provided

as part of the installation. The equipotential connection should be installed in accordance with the

facilities specifications and all local codes for equipotential connections of medical equipment.”

Galaxy® GHDX2-ADA DICOM Storage and Archive Appliance Admin Guide

Congratulations on the purchase of a DICOM Appliance. This guide

discusses how to unpack, setup and use the DICOM Appliance and its

management tools.

About the DICOM Appliance

The DICOM Appliance provides a mirrored hard disk architecture and an integrated

Panasonic ADA (Advanced Disc for Archive) Drive, bringing a high level of reliability for your

DICOM archives. The DICOM Appliance provides integration with modalities and PACS

solutions using DICOM 3.0 standards.

The DICOM Appliance has an easy-to-use web-based management interface, allowing

administrators to manage the system from almost anywhere, at any time. It is easy to

setup. Simply follow these step-by-step instructions and the organization will soon be

archiving its DICOM images.

The DICOM Appliance provides reliable multi-modality centralized storage with fast and

consistent access to patient data and images virtually from anywhere.

Overview

The DICOM Appliance is a fully integrated DICOM Storage and DICOM Application Server,

compatible with any DICOM modality and DICOM 3.0 viewing workstations.

The DICOM Appliance provides PACS services such as storage provider and query retrieval

provider. Both of these services run as Linux daemons and utilize the DBMS system and file

indexers for managing the medical images and reports.

A typical network consists of a central DICOM Appliance which stores a database containing

images from one or multiple modalities and from which multiple clients can retrieve and

display these images using medical imaging software. The images are stored in DICOM

format. The modalities (MRI, CT, PET, Ultrasounds ...) send the images to the Appliance by

using a DICOM "push" (DICOM C-Store). The server and the client workstations

communicate by using the DICOM protocol (DICOM C-Store or Query & Retrieve). The

clients display the images by using medical imaging software such as a DICOM viewer or a

radiology review workstation client software system.

Galaxy® GHDX2-ADA DICOM Storage and Archive Appliance Admin Guide

Key Features

• Central storage server with complete DICOM protocol support to handle all different

types of DICOM images and reports.

• Web-based user interface for system administration.

• Fast transfer and access time (limited by the network bandwidth) for store and

retrieval requests.

• Supports patient root, study root and image level query retrieval.

• Supports concurrent storage and retrieval from multiple modalities and clients.

• Provides scalable storage architecture for images/report data and includes support

for removable ADA media.

• Automatic testing tool to verify DICOM services provided by the server. Useful tool

for field install verification and for product support and validation purposes.

• File Integrity Check to detect breach in integrity of files (HIPAA).

• Automatic routing of the stored images.

• Only registered Peers can store images (HIPAA).

• Only registered Peers can query and retrieve images (HIPAA).

• File System configuration page to configure File System.

• Server configuration page.

• Web based Auto Test application to verify server services from any client system.

• Patient Finder in Database management page to immediately find out whether

patient record is stored in the PACS database.

• Complete server logs on store and query/retrieve available for review (HIPAA).

Benefits

• Improved access to diagnostic-quality images.

• Simultaneous access to images by multiple providers in different locations.

• Elimination of repeat studies necessitated by unavailability of images.

• Enhanced ability to compare cases.

• Ability to read from remote locations.

• Virtually eliminates dependence on film management.

• Supports tele-health services.
