identifies the status as shown in the table below.

Icon Description

Archived Icon – Shows that data has been archived on PACS

via storage commit. Studies are marked as archived if all
images were successfully received and a storage commit
message was received.

Transferred Icon – Data was transferred. The icon will not

appear unless all images were successfully auto-transferred or
manually transferred to at least one destination.

Data Management Infinia-Xeleris Connectivity

Infinia-Xeleris Connectivity

z Infinia can only transfer data to Xeleris processing stations.

z Certain Xeleris factory applications are options and do not have a

default definition as Ignite applications.

z Workaround: A simple way to enable such applications for Ignite is the

following:

On Xeleris:

 Clone the desired application.

 Shutdown and restart Xeleris.

On Infinia:

 From System Configuration, select the DICOM Stations tab. Select

the Xeleris station and press [Get Auto-Processing App. List].

 Within the Protocol Editor append the desired "user" application for
auto-processing to the auto-processing list.

 Test run the Infinia protocol to see that auto-processing takes place
on Xeleris

z Starting with Xeleris v.1.1, Whole Body Slicing for Infinia has the
capability to compute fused images for MFOV scans with CT/AC “ON”.
This feature is not available in Xeleris 1.0.

Dataset Transfer Problems

If problems occur in dataset transfer:

1. Perform a Partial shutdown of the Infinia application.

2. Restart the application and attempt the transfer again.

3. If the failure persists, perform a Partial shutdown again.

4. Perform a DB Recovery as follows:

Windows Start buttonÆ Programs Æ Infinia Acquisition Console Æ

DB Recovery

5. Wait two minutes after the activation of the recovery. Restart the application
and attempt the transfer again.

If the failure persists, fill in a problem report (see Creating a Problem

Report on page 12-8) and attach the study to the problem report by
selecting the checkbox. Notify the Online Center of the problem report. In
the description of the problem. Please be sure to mention the following:

z Date and time the scan was acquired

z Details about the events that occurred during the acquisition of this
study

z When double clicking the problematic dataset, is the dataset displayed

in the viewing card?

If the untransferred dataset(s) are the five spots acquired with a Whole Body
Step & Shoot scan, take note that this data is intentionally not transferred from
Infinia.
