Dataflow 
A dataflow is a set of pre-configured services. When you select a 
dataflow, the ultrasound system automatically works according to the 
services associated with the dataflow. The Dataflow tab allows you to 
select and review information about dataflows. You can also create, 
change, and remove dataflows. 
 
Dataflow Preset Parameter Descriptions: 
Name Select the dataflow from the list. 
Direct Store Select to store data directly to archive (no buffer 
storage). 
Hidden Select so that this dataflow does not appear as a Dataflow on 
the Patient menu. 
Default Dataflow This dataflow will be the default when the system is 
initially booted.  
 
Key Object Selection: Image Deletion Notification Image Deletion 
Notification is available ONLY for the Direct Store Workflow and only 
generated when there are images deleted during the exam. This lets 
the reader at the PACS system know which images have been 
deleted. An indicator is placed on deleted images with a reason, 
“Rejected for Quality Reasons,” for example. 
Print Button Setup 
To configure the print buttons: 
First select the print button to configure under Physical Print Buttons 
on the upper, left corner of the button tab. Then select the device 
you want to add in the middle part of the page, under Available 
Input/ Outputs. Then click on the right arrow in the top right corner 
of the page. You can configure each print key to multiple output 
devices/dataflows. 
Note: You must be logged 
on as Administrator to use 
the Dataflow tab. 
You can only attach one 
DICOM service per print 
key (e.g., PACS and 
DICOM printer). Multiple 
DICOM devices should be 
configured as a dataflow

Button Preset Parameter Descriptions: 
Format RawDICOM, DICOM, or M&A. 
Image Frames Single (captures a DICOM single frame image), Multiple 
(captures a DICOM multi-frame, CINE) -- only select this if the PACS 
server supports multi-frame, and Secondary Capture (forces all 
DICOM images to Secondary Capture). 
Capture Area For use with Secondary Capture: Video Area, Image 
Area or Whole Screen. 
Compression Select the compression type: None, Rle, Jpeg, or 
Jpeg2000. 
Active Images Page Lets you send to a Windows-based printer. 
Single Association Only visible with DICOM image storage 
destinations. When selected, the spooler sends multiple images in 
one store job. 
Removable Media  
The Removable Media tab allows you to: 
 Verify the DICOM directory on removable media. 
 Determine the free space capacity of the media. 
 Determine if the media is finalized or unfinalized. 
 Determine if the media is formatted or unformatted. 
 Format removable media (rewritable CD/DVD or USB device). 
 
Note: When using a print 
key to send an image 
directly to a DICOM 
device, this causes a single 
DICOM association per 
image. Most devices (all 
known printers) work fine 
with this. However, some 
storage devices, such as 
ALI, Kodak Access, and 
Cemax, assume that the 
end of each association is 
the end of the exam and 
can result in a new folder 
for each image. In the 
Utility menu, select a 
single association or open 
PR for the desired DICOM 
storage device.

confirms when the format has been completed. Select OK to exit. 
Miscellaneous 
The Miscellaneous tab allows you to configure system behavior 
related to patient management and print and store options.  
 
You can specify default system functionality, such as whether patient 
ID is required when you archive data, or if the system should 
automatically search the archive for a patient when you enter patient 
data. 
Note: Select Full Format 
(do not check Quick 
Format box) when

where you’d expect. :owever, on the PACS system, images 
appear in arrival order or in image number order. 
 Acquisition Order. From the Ultrasound system perspective, the 
same as “Off.” But on the PACS system (if based on image 
number order), images are displayed consistently with the way 
they are stored on the Ultrasound sysdtem. 
 Scan Assistant Order. You can define the storage order (reading 
order) via Scan Assistant Creator. Therefore, based on the order 
defined in Scan Assistant, images are re-ordered and displayed in 
this manner both on the Clipboard and on the PACS system.

Module 5 Preventive Maintenance 
Preventive maintenance procedures are very important in a clinical 
setting. Be sure to follow the health care facilities documentation 
procedures. 
System Backup 
System backup is very important. Backup the system anytime you are 
in front of it! Your backup is not complete without printouts!  
The Backup/Restore function enables the user to: 
 Copy/Restore the patient archive. 
 Copy/Restore the system configuration. 
The Copy/Restore system configuration feature enables the user to 
configure several units with identical presets, providing that the units 
have the same software version. 
Backup Procedure for Vivid E9  
To create a backup on Vivid E9 systems you must first login as 
admininstrator. You can log on to Vivid E9 as ‘ADM’ either using the 
touch screen or the keyboard.  
Touch Screen: Select UtilityConfig 
Keyboard: Press F2. 
Both will bring up the Operator Login dialog box. By default, two 
users are pre-defined, USR and ADM. If you log on as USR, you will 
have access to do user set-up tasks such as select a printer. 
If you log on as ADM, you will have access to do general set-up and 
service adjustments such as network and connectivity settings. The 
default password for ADM is ulsadm. Select ADM and enter the 
password (ulsadm) and select Login. 
The Backup/Restore function enables the user to: 
To minimize accidental 
loss of data, perform 
backup of the patient 
archive stored on the local 
hard drive at least once a 
week. 
USR requires no password 
by system default. 
However, the facility may 
have set up individual 
passwords for different 
users in which case you 
will have to ask for a 
password
