Cleaning Instructions
No routine cleaning of the Precision System is required. However, should the components
become dusty or dirty use the following procedures for cleaning the items.
CAUTION: Do not expose any system component surface to water or any corrosive
cleaners.
PC Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust on the outside of the cabinet.
Cabinet
Monitor The monitor screen can be cleaned with ordinary household glass cleaner.
Screen Anti-static wipes are also available commercially to clean monitor screen.
Be sure to remove power from the monitor and spray the cleaner onto a lint free
cloth so the fluid doesn't leak into the electrical components inside the monitor.
Vacuum off any dust that has settled on top of the monitor, and make sure no
books or papers have been placed on the air vents. Obstructed monitor vents can
cause the monitor to overheat or even catch on fire.
Refer also to the manual provided with the monitor by the manufacturer.
Keyboard Clean the keyboard by using compressed air contained in a can with a very long
nozzle. Aim the air between the keys and blow away all the dust and debris that
has gathered there. A vacuum cleaner can be used, but make sure the keyboard
doesn't have "pop off" keys that could possibly be sucked up by the vacuum.
Mouse 1. Remove the bottom cover. Arrows on the cover

indicate the direction in which the cover should be
rotated.
2. Place two fingers on the mouse cover and

push in the direction of the arrows.
3. Once the cover has rotated about an inch, rotate the mouse into its normal
position covering the bottom of the mouse with one hand.
The bottom should fall off and the mouse ball should be accessible.
4. Once the bottom cover and the ball are removed, three rollers located within
the mouse will be visible.
5. Use your finger/fingernail to move the rollers in a horizontal direction.
This action will loosen up any debris in the middle or the roller for removal.
6. Once any dirt has been removed, place the ball back inside the mouse and
replace cover.

TM 726-722-G1 Step 1 - 7
3.2 Isolation Transformer and UPS / Power Conditioner

The Isolation Transformer is used to power all components of the system.
It is normally positioned under the table/counter that holds the Monitor and PC.
“In accordance with IEC 60601-1-1, the isolation transformer should not be placed on the floor.
The isolation transformer is considered a Multiple Portable Socket Outlet (MPSO) by the
international standards. MPSOs should be mounted in such a way as to prevent ingress of
liquids and avoid mechanical damage during normal use and transportation. The transformer
should be placed in accordance with the prevailing electrical and fire codes.”
Component Arrangement:
• The Isolation Transformer MUST be positioned within six (6) feet of the wall
power source. If the Optional Power Conditioner / UPS is being installed, there
will be an additional six feet of cable with which to work.

radiographic images. The AEC Photo Sensor Board and Cable are options available from GE,
but not included with all orders.
Heliflex AEC Port with Cover Heliflex AEC Port without Cover
All Heliflex lenses include four Measuring Field Restrictor Masks with the lens.
The available fields of view that can be selected are:
• 1.5mm Round (32% active Field of view)

• 1.5mm Square (32% active Field of view)
• 2.5mm Round (64% active Field of view)
• 2.5mm Square (64% active Field of view)
When the AEC option (726-752-G1) is delivered with the Heliflex lens, the 32% round option is
installed in the Heliflex lens. The three additional restrictor choices are included with the
systems accessories.
4.1 AEC Field Size Selection

The AEC Measuring Field Size on the Heliflex lens can be selected for size (32% or
64%) and shape (square or round) by the use of the restrictor diaphragms included with
the Heliflex lens. The position of the field can also be mechanically adjusted for proper
centering.
Heliflex lens ordered from GE with the optional AEC board and cable (726-752-G1) are
delivered with the 32% round field restrictor diaphragm installed and optically centered on
the image. Self-adhesive ring labels and included with the AEC Kit to secure the restrictor
diaphragms in place should be the field size selection be changed.

center area of the display. This will be used as a reference to test or adjust the
Measuring Field Area of the AEC Port.
5. Place a homogenous mass in the field of view (i.e.: 2mm Cu or a single lead
apron).
6. Select MANUAL ABS on the x-ray generator console, and set minimum KV and
mA technique.
7. Illuminate the restrictor diaphragm on the Heliflex lens with a small flashlight
perpendicular to the center opening and activate the fluoro radiation. The active
sensing area of the AEC Port will be projected onto the output phosphor and
displayed on the screen.
8. The size and center of the projected area should approximately match the overlaid
graphic circle of the AGC/ABS Measuring Field. The restrictor diaphragm inserted
in the AEC Port determines the size of the projected area. The center area can be
adjusted if necessary by moving the position of the restrictor mount on the Heliflex
AEC Port.
TM 726-722-G1 Step 2 - 17
9. If the center of the projected area does not approximately match that of the
AGC/ABS overlay graphic, loosen the three securing screws on the Heliflex AEC

4.4 AEC Calibration
• There are no adjustments on the Heliflex AEC board.

• Refer to the CPI Technical Manual for specific information regarding the proper
configuration and calibration of the AEC functions.
• Recommended exposure doses for different digital imaging applications and image
intensifier fields of view.
RF DOSE = 52 UR/FR MAG 0

DSA Dose = 144 uR/Fr Mag 0
4.5 AEC Testing
The AEC function controls the radiographic exposure density by terminating the
exposure when a pre-determined amount of light has been detected. The density should
remain consistent and accurate regardless of the length of the exposure time (within
limits), the techniques (KV and mA) utilized or the materials being imaged.
The minimum and maximum exposure time accuracy will vary depending upon make
and model of the host x-ray. In general, typical radiographic exposure ranges are a
>5 mS and <200 mS. In general, the exposure accuracy should be no more than
+/- 10% through the entire operating range.
Test the accuracy of the AEC function within the “Typical” operating as follows:
1. Start the Service Application.
2. Click on the CALIB button to start the Calibration program, and then click on the
SYSTEM AUTO button to select Auto System Calibration Control.
3. Click on the IRIS button to display the Iris Calibration Menu, the click on the
SPOT Tab to select the Spot Iris Calibration screen.

4. Note the Measuring Field Level indictor readout box located in the lower right
corner of the Spot Tab Menu. The Value displayed by this indictor is the average
pixel value of the ABS/AGC Measuring Field.
This indicator value should repeat within +/- 10% after each radiographic exposure
taken on a system with properly functioning AEC Control. A properly calibrated
system will display a Measuring Field Level value of 1000 after each
radiographic exposure.
5. Place homogenous mass approximately 20 cm water equivalent in the field of view.
6. Select the digital function station on the x-ray generator console and select AEC at
normal density for the radiographic exposure control.
7. Adjust the KV and mA radiographic exposure technique to obtain an exposure
duration of 50 mS (+/- 5mS).
8. Note the value displayed in the Measuring Field Level indicator box.
The value should be 1000 (+/- 10%) on a properly calibrated Precision RXi system.
If the value is not between 900 and 1100, calibrate the InnoVision Camera per
Step 6 (Auto-Calibration) before continuing this test. If the value indicated is
1000 (+/- 10%), proceed to Step 7.
9. With the radiographic technique adjusted to produce exposure times of 50 mS,
make five radiographic exposures and note the Value displayed in the Measuring
Field Level indictor box after each exposure. The Value should indicate no less
than 900 and no more than 1100 for all of the exposures.
11. With the radiographic technique adjusted to produce exposure times of 180mS,
make five radiographic exposures and note the value displayed in the Measuring
13. With the radiographic technique adjusted to produce exposure times of 6 mS,
make five radiographic exposures and note the Value displayed in the Measuring
14. If all Values noted were greater than 900 and less than 1100, the repeatability and
linearity of the system is within +/- 10%.

representing that signal will be WHITE.
The status of the x-ray generator signal lines

will go ON/OFF as the generator line toggles
active/inactive.
For some rapid pulse signals (like: Rad Pulse
On, Rad Expose On, the signal is too fast to
notice the change between ON/OFF. When
active, a white box with and up/down arrow
will be displayed. If there is no arrow box,
the signal is not active.

2.3.2 Signal Definitions

The signals between the x-ray generator and Imaging system are defined as follows:
Signal Description
Fluoro On This signal is active when fluoro radiation is ON. It causes the system to display the
live fluoro image on the image monitor in Fluoro mode.
When inactive, the system will maintain the last full frame of fluoro on the image
monitor. This signal is overridden when the Prepare for Photospot Signal is active.
Always Enabled on Precision System.
PFluoro ON (Pulsed Fluoro ON) This signal indicates to the system that the generator is currently
generating an x-ray pulse. It is used to synchronize the acquisition of images with the
x-ray exposure. Always Enabled on Precision System.
PFluoro (Pulsed Fluoro Select) When this signal is active, the system will acquire a pulsed
Select fluoro sequence of images at the selected rate.
Always Disabled on Precision System.
Prep Rad Exp This signal is active when the operator is preparing for Radiographic Exposure. It
signals when the generator is switching from Fluoro to Radiographic mode. This
signal is used for both cine and spot acquisition.
Req Rad Exp This signal is active when the operator has requested a Radiographic exposure and is
used for both cine and spot acquisition.
Always Enabled on Precision System
Rad Ready (Radiographic Exposure Ready) – This optional signal indicates that the generator is
ready to respond to the operator’s request for a Radiographic exposure. This signal is
used for both cine and sport acquisition.
Rad Exp On This signal indicates to the system that the generator is producing radiographic
radiation for photospot imaging. It is considered an optional signal. However, the
signal line must be installed when the Spot in/Out relay open condition does not
terminate an exposure.
Rad Type When this signal is enabled, the system is selected for digital spot image acquisition.
Spot When the signal is inactive, the system will not acquire digital spot images.
Single/Rapid This signal selects the radiographic spot acquisition for single image or a rapid series.
Store Image This signal causes the system to store the currently displayed fluoro image to the
system hard drive. Always Disabled on Precision System
FOV Mag 1 When this signal is active, the generator is in magnification mode 1.
TM 726-722-G1 Step 5 - 36
Reverse-H This signal causes the acquired image to flip horizontally during acquisition and is only
require if an external Reverse-H button/switch is to be installed.
Reverse-V This signal causes the acquired image to flip vertically during acquisition and is only
require if an external Reverse-V switch is to be installed.
Dose Low This signal selects the Low Dose Spot Iris position calibration to be selected for both
RF and DSA spot images.
Dose High This signal selects the High Dose Spot Iris position calibration to be selected for both
RF and DSA spot images.

1. Overview
The Precision Imaging System has been designed to calibrate either automatically or
manually. Each step of the Auto Calibration procedure is discussed in this section.
We recommend that only factory trained Service Personnel use the Manual Calibration
Functions. Auto Calibration was designed to take the process through the correct
progression. When calibrating manually, each function is selected specifically.
For the purpose of this Technical Manual, the actual functionality of these screens will be
discussed and can be applied to either operation.
WARNING The System Parameters must be entered correctly especially: Image

Intensifier (II) Fields of View, Fluoro Dose Control method, Pulsed Fluoro
rates, and ABS type before running any part of the Auto Camera
Calibrate routine. This should have been done as part of Step #5.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES PRODUCES RADIATION.

WEAR PROPER LEAD SHIELDING!
NOTE: If any failures are detected, an Error Message window will display.
The Power Down procedure should be followed in order to Shut Down the
software.
The cable connections should then be rechecked – especially the hard drive
interconnecting cables inside the PC cabinet. After these steps are taken, repeat
the Power Up Sequence. If system continues to report errors do not continue with
this procedure, instead contact Technical Support.
Proper Image Size:
There is no adjustment size of the displayed images. Proper image size is dependent on the
combination of camera optics, image intensifier type, and the optics of the image intensifier
output. The image size can only be varied by selection of the proper a-focal adapter lens on the
CCD camera system.
TM 726-722-G1 Step 6 - 3
2. Verifying the Image Size (Optics)
The size of the image displayed depends on the relationship in sizes of the output phosphor
window, collimating lens focal length, camera lens focal length and CCD sensor size.
Prior to calibrating a newly installed system, the image size (optics selection) should be verified.
During normal system operation, the outer area of the displayed image is “Masked” by a graphic
overlay generated by the system. The actual displayed image that displays behind the overlay
mask can only be viewed in the Service Application.
Software Circle Blanking
Monitor
Phosphor
To view the image without the without the graphic overlay applied:
1. Start the Service Application (Refer to the Service Application Overview chapter of this
Technical Manual for information on accessing Service Applications).
2. Using the Pointing Device, click on the Service Application Tool Bar to open the
Calibration Menus.
TM 726-722-G1 Step 6 - 4

5. When fluoro radiation is activated, the output phosphor of the Image intensifier should
appear as an illuminated circular area just slightly larger or smaller than the area indicated
by the dotted outline that represents the graphics overly.
6. If the optics match is incorrect, the illuminated circular area will either appear as a very
small circular area within the outline mask or as an oversized circular or square illuminated

6. Tighten the screws that secure the lens/camera assembly to the image intensifier
housing.
7. Place steel straight edge should along the table centerline. Activate fluoro
radiation and move the straight edge to the center of the displayed image.
8. Examine the straight edge line on the fluoro image for correct orientation.
A method to do this would be to open the Calibration or Configuration Menu in the
Service Application and drag the window, so that the edge is next to the straight
edge line.
TM 726-722-G1 Step 6 - 8
9. If the straight edge line is not parallel to the reference line (edge of window), use a
3mm Allen wrench to loosen the four recess screws that secure the camera to the
lens, rotate the camera/lens assembly to the correct position and then retighten the
screws.

two DICOM Application Entities. The AEs use
the Association Establishment between the
requester and the intended recipient to negotiate
how data will be encoded and the type of data to
be exchanged. Add MPPS AE Dialog
The MPPS Feature is used to send out information
about the Study that was just completed.
Information can include:

• The number of acquisitions taken.
• The type and amount of radiation used on a patient during the Study.
• The number and type of films that were printed during the Study.
• And any other pertinent information.
Server Notifications:
An Enabled MPPS Server will notify the user if a connection cannot be made when the user
Opens a Study. If an Error Message is displayed, try opening another Study to attempt to
make a server connection. If connection is still not made, the conclusion is that the MPPS
Server is in a state of failure. Contact your Network Administrator for assistance.
TM 726-722-G1 Step 7 - 22
4.2 MPPS Connection Checks:

Connection checks are performed during each of these operations:
• Opening a Study
• Acquiring images to the Study
• Closing a Study
During any of these events, the system sends an “N-Create” Message to the MPPS Server from your
system signifying the event. Any failure will display a notification to the user that the MPPS Server
connection is not available. See your Network Administrator for assistance. Parameters may need to
be reset for successful operation. The MPPS Feature should be transparent to the user except in the
case of a failure, where a notification is sent to the user.

1. KVP
Excellent-quality digital images are best achieved with settings of 100KVP or less due to the
inherent characteristics of the image intensifier and digital camera combination. 120 KVP should
not be used for most digital imaging systems.
In addition, lower dose exposures are a significant advantage of digital systems, but when
combined with high KVP cause inadequate exposure technique with many generators, due to
insufficient exposure times.

(Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc) An optical digital disc for storing
movies and data. Introduced in the U.S. in 1997, and developed by both the
computer and movie industries, the disc uses the same diameter platter as a
CD (120mm/4.75" diameter), but holds 4.7GB rather than 700MB. Whereas
CDs use only one side, DVDs can be recorded on both sides as well as in
DVD dual layers. DVD drives/players read most CD media as well.
DVD-R and DVD+R are competing write-once formats for movies or data.
DVD-RW and DVD+RW are competing rewritable (re-recordable) formats that
unlike DVD-RAM's 100,000 cycles, can only be rewritten 1,000 times. Aimed
at the consumer, 1,000 rewrites is considered more than sufficient.
(DVD-Recordable) A write-once (read only) DVD disk for both movies and
data endorsed by the DVD Forum. DVD-Rs are often called "DVD Dash Rs" or
"DVD Minus Rs" to distinguish them from the competing "Plus R" format (see
DVD+R).
DVD-Rs are the DVD counterpart to CD-Rs and use the same dye-layer
recording technology to "burn" the disc. Pioneer was the first to introduce
DVD-R DVD-R drives, which recorded 3.95GB. By 2000, the capacity was increased
to the industry standard 4.7GB.
DVD-R for Authoring, DVD-R for General Use: In 2000, DVD-R was split
into two types to deal with copy protection. The original DVD-R, which uses a
650 nm recording wavelength, was dubbed "DVD-R for Authoring." A different
format with copy protection that records at 635 nm is called "DVD-R for
General." Although DVD-R(a) and DVD-R(g) can read each other's
format, they cannot write each other's format.
DVD-R DL A dual-layer drive (DVD-R DL) increases capacity to 8.5GB.

(DVD+Recordable) A write-once (read only) version of the DVD+RW optical disk
DVD+R from the DVD+RW Alliance. DVD+Rs hold up to 4.7GB of data per side and can
be read by DVD-Video players and computer DVD-ROM drives.
DVD+R DL A DVD+R DL disk is a "dual layer" DVD+R that holds a total of 8.5GB.

Kilovoltage (one word) describes the penetrating ability of x-rays. Inside
the x-ray tube are three components, a cathode, anode and a glass
envelope designed to allow x-rays to penetrate. X-Rays occur when the
cathode is heated and voltage is applied to force the heated electrons to
the anode. When the electrons strike the anode, x-rays are produced.
kV
As the user increases the kilovoltage, the electrons move faster (increased
frequency) and the x-ray energy is increased. The voltage controls the
electron speed. kVp refers to peak voltage as voltage may fluctuate.
kVp determines the quality of the x-ray beam which impacts image quality
in a very important way. Image Contrast is determined by kVp.

Milliamperes – time; The higher the current, there is an increase in the

quantity of x-rays. "The mA controls the number of electrons produced per
unit time which controls the amount of radiation produced by the target.
mA The total radiation produced is proportional to the product of the
milliamperes and the exposure time in seconds and is expressed as mAs
or milliamperes-seconds." mAs determine the quantity and intensity of
the x-rays that are produced. mA refers to the Density of the image.

Introduction
In 1996, the United State Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act
of 1996 (August 21), Public Law 104-191 – commonly known as HIPAA. This Act amended the
Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, adding a new section entitled Administrative
Simplification. This purpose of this section is two-fold in that it requires both improved efficiency
in the delivery of healthcare by standardizing electronic data interchange, and protects the
confidentiality and security of health data by setting and enforcing new standards.
HIPAA required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to publish new rules
ensuring the following:
All electronic patient health, administrative and financial data will be standardized
Unique health identifiers will be created for individuals, employers, health plans and
health care providers
Security standards be implemented to protect confidentiality and integrity of "individually

identifiable health information," past, present or future.
This legislation is far-reaching and affects all health care providers, health plans, public health
authorities, healthcare clearinghouses, and self-insured employers. Additionally, life insurance
providers, information systems vendors, various service organizations, and universities are
equally affected. Severe penalties have been set for those who fail to comply calling for heavy
fines and/or imprisonment, depending on the violations.
GE is committed to providing the technology necessary to ensure that our systems can be
configured to comply with HIPAA, Subpart C – Security Standards for the Protection of
Electronic Protected Health Information. We are offering procedures to create detailed logs
indicating all access to patient data, including files and images.
Additionally, all of our systems will be configurable so that they can be made password
protected. A screensaver option will be provided that will auto-log off the user after a set period
of time, thus ensuring that unauthorized personnel cannot access sensitive data.
This document offers step-by-step procedures for authorized personnel to follow to set all of the
available security features. It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to ensure that these
measures are configured and that all necessary personnel are trained on these new features.
These instructions are only to be used by the network administrator or other authorized
person. Setting up these parameters requires changing defaults and other sensitive
settings, and if performed incorrectly could impact the operation of the digital imaging
system.
NOTE: In offering these instructions and the ability for the facility to set all parameters
necessary for HIPAA compliance, GE thus transfers liability for compliance to the
facility.
The Appendices
1. Levels of Protection
While HIPAA establishes standards to ensure the security, confidentiality, and integrity of
healthcare transactions involving patient identifiable information, implementation is left to the
individual facility. Although these security features can be used in a variety of combinations,
we have set up the following guidelines, indicating three levels of protection that can be utilized.
1.1 Level 1: Unique User Logins / Viewing Audit Logs
User IDs: At the very minimum, each facility should establish unique user IDs for each
person who will access the system. Enabling individual user accounts eliminates the
possibility of an unauthorized person accessing patient information, or “hacking” into the
program and destroying sensitive information. Additionally, the configuration of unique
user IDs provides the means by which to audit user activity.
See Steps 2.1 – 2.5 for details on this procedure.
Viewing Audit Logs: Every system is configured with the tools necessary to track
program-specific events. For example, every time a patient file is accessed or an image
sent to a printer, a line is written to an audit log in the system. Currently, there are five
such logs – Audit, Audit Database, Audit DICOM, Audit Hardcopy and Audit DHC Printer
- that can be accessed without the need to do any additional set-up.
Refer to Steps 4.4 and 4.5 for instructions.
NOTE: Level 1 Security should only be considered as a starting point in the process of
implementing further security measures.
1.2 Level 2: Add Security Logs
Besides providing system security, user logins also allow for the tracking of individual
user activity. Every time a user attempts to and/or successfully logs into the system,
an entry will be written to the Windows® 2000 Security Event log.
Each entry will be date/time stamped so that it can be correlated with other log files if
necessary. If a breach of security is identified, this log will indicate the individual that
was logged into the system at the time the breach occurred.
1.3 Level 3: Add Auto Logoff Feature
Every system can be configured to display a screensaver if the system is idle for a
preset length of time. This is a standard Windows® function. Using Auto Logoff
enhances this feature, and further boosts system security. When enabled, the system
will first display the screensaver, and then, once a predetermined length of time has
elapsed, the system will automatically log off the current user. Anyone using the system
will need to log back in.
The Appendices
CAUTION: The system will not automatically log off a user when the Clinical
Application is in the Acquire mode. System users must be trained not to
leave the system in the Acquire mode when acquisition for a patient has
been completed.
Refer to Steps 3.1 through 3.2 for details.
There are additional security features listed in Section 4, which can be added to any of
the three recommended levels depending on the specific requirements of the facility.
Ultimately, the levels of protection are left to the discretion of the facility. HIPAA does
not dictate how much or how little security should be instituted.
Make sure that all user names are documented and that this information is kept in a
secure location separate from the system for access in the event of disaster
recovery.
2. Windows® User Accounts
To ensure trace ability, HIPAA requires that all individual users have a unique password.
This allows all actions performed to be traced to that unique user. Please follow sections 2.1
and 2.2 to enable individual users with password protection. Use sections 2.3, and 2.4 to
maintain your system.
NOTE: To modify user accounts you must have Administrative privileges.
2.1 Configure Login and User Rights
There are several options available from C: DIAG, including “DisableAutoLogin.reg,”

“EnableAutoLogin.reg,” and “UpdateGroups.bat.”
DisableAutoLogin Requires all users to enter their user name and password to login
EnableAutoLogin Automatically logs in the default user
UpdateGroups Updates the rights of the users to default settings: Administrator

2.3 Adding Users
In order to perform this function, you must be logged in as “serviceapp.”
1. Left click the button.

2. Select “Run...”
3. Type “cmd” in “Open” text box and press OK.
4. Type “c:” and press [Enter] on the keyboard.
5. Type “cd \diag\HIPAA” and press [Enter] on the keyboard.
At this point, the following batch files may be run by typing their name into the command
line and pressing [Enter] to automatically create a number of enabled users as follows:
CreateServiceUsers.bat Creates user accounts “servicetech1” and “servicetech2”,

with the default passwords set to “servicetech”
CreateUsers01-20.bat Creates user accounts “Tech1” through “Tech20”, with
default passwords set to “xraytech”
Any displayed Error Messages that read “Error creating local group... (group already
exists)” after running these batch files are expected and can be safely ignored.
The Appendices
Note that unless changed manually later, any accounts created in this fashion will force
the user to change their password on the first logon to a given user account.
Also, if more users are required than there are batch files to accommodate, renaming
the existing user accounts will allow the appropriate batch file to be run again, thereby
creating more users.
Example: CreateServiceUsers.bat is run and “servicetech1” and “servicetech2” are

created. They are then manually renamed to “adams” and “williams.”
CreateServiceUsers.bat is run once again, and two separate brand new
accounts are created, named “servicetech1” and “servicetech2,” which
have no relation to the older accounts “adams and “williams.”
At this point, a total of four service accounts have been created.
6. When you are finished creating new users, type “EXIT” and press [Enter] to exit the
command prompt.

The Appendices
3. Auto Logoff Feature
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, make sure that you are logged in as “serviceapp”
(Password: orion).
The Auto Log off feature protects an individual system from unauthorized access. The site
administrator will determine the length of inactivity required to activate the screensaver and
when to automatically log off the current user.
There are two important points to note when training system operators to utilize this feature.
• The system will not automatically log off a user when the Clinical Application is in the
Acquire mode. System users must be trained not to leave the system in the Acquire
mode when acquisition for a patient has been completed.
• The system will be unable to automatically shut down the Clinical Application and log off
the current user if there are currently active DICOM Send and/or print jobs remaining in
the queue. This applies to active jobs as well as error/aborted jobs that have not been
manually cleared from the queue.
NOTE: If a system is to be configured with Auto Log Off, the Fluoro Inhibit Relay must be enabled.
This relay is enabled via the Relay Outputs dialog within the service application. This relay
will default to “Disabled” and must be Enabled when using the Auto Logoff feature. Refer
to the Service Application Section of the Technical Manual for instructions on accessing
these settings.

4. Monitoring Patient Images on Windows® 2000
One of the primary purposes of HIPAA is to ensure patient confidentiality and protect patient
files from unauthorized access. It is important to be able to track who is accessing this
information and when.
Every time a user attempts to and/or successfully logs into the system, an entry will be written to
the Windows® 2000 Security Event log. This entry will be date/time stamped so that it can be
correlated with other log files if necessary. These logs will not be available for viewing until at
least one item as been logged into each file.
4.1 Viewing Events
This section explains how to view Windows® 2000 events and what they mean.
2. Double click on the “C:” drive.
3. Double click on the folder “DIAG.”
4. Double click on EventViewer.exe to run the application.
5. If this is the first time opening the log then:
a. Right click on “Security.log.”
b. Go to “Open with.”
c. Check the box “Always use this program to open these files.”
d. Select “Notepad” in the list.
e. Press “OK.” And close the file that is opened.
Otherwise, double click on “Security.txt.”
A list of all events relative to the Image_Db folder will display. All entries are in the following
format: “username action filename on date at time.” The oldest events are shown first. New
events are added to the bottom of the list. Use the Down Arrow keys or slider to scan the list.
For an example of a security log, reference Figure 19.
Figure 19 – Security Log; The highlight box area in this log entry indicates
that the user (tech1) successfully logged off on 11/12/2003 at 08:58:09.
The Appendices
4.2 Viewing Audit Logs
An entry will be written to the “Audit” log each time the Application Manager, Database
Validator, Clinical Application or Service Application is started. This entry will be
date/time stamped so that it can be correlated with other log files if necessary.
Additionally, an entry will be written to the “Audit” log each time any of the patient
demographic information is accessed. This entry will also reflect the type of access
(i.e. create, read, edit, delete).
There are three other audit logs in the C:\DIAG folder:
• Audit_DICOM.log
• Audit_Hardcopy.log
• Audit_DHCPrinter.log
Double click on any of these files to view them. Note that all three logs follow a similar
format:
Date, time => Patient patient name, Study study number, Series series number,
Sequence sequence number, total frames sent frames action to location.
4.2.1 Audit Log

The Audit Log indicates general activity including when a patient file was opened, what
was done with the file, and any other actions. Refer to Figure 20 for a typical audit log.
Figure 20 – Audit Log
Sequence sequence number, is opened for review.
The Appendices
4.2.2 Audit_Database Log

The Audit_Database Log indicates changes made that impact the system’s database.
For example, images that are deleted including the study, series and sequence will be
documented in this log. Refer to Figure 21 for a typical audit_database log.
Figure 21 – Audit_Database Log
Sequence sequence number, is deleted with “n” frames
4.2.3 Audit_DICOM Log
The DICOM log contains information about patient images that were sent to other PCs
networks or archived to a CD. This log is quite specific in that it indicates the study,
series and sequence, but also how many frames were sent and their destination.
Reference Figure 22 for a typical DICOM log.
Figure 22 – Audit_DICOM Log
The Appendices
4.2.4 Audit_Hardcopy Log
The Hardcopy log contains information about printing images. Note that the log
indicates the Destination Printer be it DICOM or Windows®.
Figure 23 – Audit_Hardcopy Log
The Appendices
4.2.5 Audit_DHCPrinter Log
The DHC Printer log contains information about printing images to a DHC Printer
Destination.
