Quick Snap and IQ Snap Data Archive and Shipping Procedures

Prerequisites

Overview

This document defines the procedures to save Quick Snap data and/or IQ Snap data to DVD-RAM disk(s), instructions for labeling the DVD-RAM disk(s) and instructions for shipping the DVD-RAM disk(s) to GE Healthcare for analysis.

The Quick Snap function provides the ability to collect data for troubleshooting System Level issues. The execution of the Quick Snap function can be found in Chapter 3 of the Learning and Reference Guide.

The IQ Snap function provides the ability to collect data and reserve scanfiles for troubleshooting Image Quality issues. The execution of the IQ Snap function can be found in Chapter 3 of the Learning and Reference Guide.

note:

There are two type of Peripheral Media Tower (5270510-3 and 5270510-10). 5270810-10 Peripheral Media Tower (PMT) does not have DVD-RAM Drive, and DVD-RW Drive is used instead of DVD-RAM Drive. Please read “DVD-RAM Drive” as “DVD-RW Drive” in this case.

1 Quick Snap Data / Log Files Saved to DVD-RAM Disk

This procedure assumes that a Quick Snap was executed, per the procedures in Chapter 3 of the Learning and Reference Guide, and that the resulting files are ready to be saved to DVD-RAM disk and sent back to GE Healthcare for analysis. The Quick Snap function packages necessary data / log files into one directory for easy of archiving. The data / log files directory is saved to DVD-RAM disk by completing the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Open the Peripheral Media Tower (PMT) DVD-RAM Drive.
  2. Insert a DVD-RAM disk into the PMT DVD-RAM Drive with a clean side facing up.
  3. Close the PMT DVD-RAM Drive.
  4. Click the ImageWorks button located in the Desktop / Status area (upper left corner of the Display / Image monitor).
  5. Click the Unix Shell - Left button located on the ImageWorks Desktop Toolbar (upper right corner of Display / Image monitor). A Terminal window appears on the Scan monitor.
  6. At the Terminal window prompt, type mkfsDVD and press Enter. .A Caution message and a Do you wish to proceed? [n] prompt are displayed in the Terminal window.
  7. At the Terminal window Do you wish to proceed? [n] prompt, type y and press Enter. A new filesystem is completely created on the DVD-RAM disk when the next terminal window prompt is displayed.
  8. At the Terminal window prompt, type mountDVD and press Enter. The DVD-RAM disk is completely mounted when the next terminal window prompt is displayed.
  9. At the Terminal window prompt, type cd /usr/g/service/log and press Enter.This changes the directory to /usr/g/service/log.
  10. At the Terminal window prompt, type cat sprsnap.log and press Enter. A list of information is displayed for each snap taken indicating type of snap, date and time of snap, full path to the snap contents, and whether the snap completed successfully.
  11. From the displayed sprsnap.log information, locate the INST-directory name to be saved to the DVD-RAM disk.
    note:

    The INST-directory name has a structure of hostid.DateStampTimeStamp.inst. (Example: bay47.070412084337.inst, where DateStamp format is YYMMDD and TimeStamp format is HHMMSS.)

  12. At the Terminal window prompt, type:

    cp –R hostid.DateStampTimeStamp.inst /DVD/hostid.DateStampTimeStamp.inst

  13. Press Enter. The INST-directory is completely saved to the DVD-RAM disk when the next terminal window prompt is displayed.
  14. Verify that the entire INST-directory was saved on the DVD-RAM disk by completing the following steps:
    1. At the Terminal window prompt, type:

      du –ch hostid.DateStampTimeStamp.inst

    2. Press Enter. A list of subdirectory sizes of the INST-directory and the Total size of the INST-directory in bytes is displayed.
    3. Note the Total size value of the INST-directory.
    4. At the Terminal window prompt, type:

      du –ch /DVD/hostid.DateStampTimeStamp.inst

    5. Press Enter. A list of subdirectory sizes of the INST-directory and the Total size of the INST-directory on the DVD-RAM disk in bytes is displayed.
    6. The Total size value of the INST-directory on the DVD-RAM disk should be the same as the Total size value of the INST-directory on the scanner. If they are not the same, repeat Steps 6 – 14.
  15. At the Terminal window prompt, type unmountDVD and press Enter. The DVD-RAM disk is completely unmounted when the next terminal window prompt is displayed.
  16. At the Terminal window prompt, type exit and press Enter. The Terminal window closes.
  17. Open the PMT DVD-RAM Drive.
  18. Remove the DVD-RAM disk from the PMT DVD-RAM Drive.
  19. Close the PMT DVD-RAM Drive.
  20. Label the DVD-RAM disk side with the following information:

    • “Quick Snap Data / Log Files” at top of Label

    • CSO / PQR Number

    • Site Name

    • System ID Number

    • Host ID Number

    • Current Date

    • Date and Time of Quick Snap Creation

    • Your Name and Phone Number

  21. Forward the DVD-RAM disk to GE Healthcare per instructions in Section 5, “Finalization.”

2 IQ Snap Data

This procedure assumes that an IQ Snap was executed, per the procedures in Chapter 3 of the Learning and Reference Guide, and the resulting files are ready to be saved to DVD-RAM disk and send back to GE Healthcare for analysis.

    Figure 2. Recon Management Save Scanfiles Screen

  9. From the Examinations pane of the Recon Management Save Scanfiles screen, click the Deselect All Exams Listed button (seeFigure 2 yellow box).
  10. From the Examinations pane of the Recon Management Save Scanfiles screen, click the Next or Prior button (seeFigure 2 orange box ) to locate the exam number of the scanfiles to be saved and then select the exam number entry.
  11. From the Series pane of the Recon Management Save Scanfiles screen, select the series number entry of the scanfiles to be saved. If there are multiple series displayed, press the Series pane Next or Prior button ( see Illustration 2 red box ) to locate the series number.
  12. From the Scans pane of the Recon Management Save Scanfiles screen, determine whether the scanfiles to be saved are Axial type or Helical type (seeFigure 2 green box )
  13. Determine how many DVD-RAM disks will be needed to archive all of the scanfile data.
    note:

    For LightSpeed VCT Family including LightSpeed Pro32 and Optima CT660, one side of a DVD-RAM disk will hold up to 10 Axial Scanfiles or 1 Helical Scanfile.

    note:

    For LightSpeed non-VCT Family, one side of a DVD-RAM disk will hold up to 20 Axial Scanfiles or 2 Helical Scanfile.

  14. Obtain the required number of DVD-RAM disks.
  15. Open the PMT DVD-RAM Drive.
  16. Insert a DVD-RAM disk into the PMT DVD-RAM Drive with a clean side facing up.
  17. Close the PMT DVD-RAM Drive.

    note:

    For LightSpeed non-VCT Family, select a maximum of 20 Axial Scanfiles or 2 Helical Scanfile per save sequence.

  21. From the Scans pane of the Recon Management Save Scanfiles screen, click the [Save Selected Anon. Data] button as depicted in Figure 3. During the saving process, a Saving Scanfiles pop-up box will be displayed on the Scan monitor.
    note:

    The PMT DVD-RAM Drive Status indicator light will be lit GREEN during the saving process. The save process is not complete until the PMT DVD-RAM Drive Status indicator light is no longer lit. Failure to take this into account could cause a system crash and result in the data not being saved properly.

    note:

    Be sure to close other application processes before saving scanfiles. Failure to do so could cause a system crash and result in the data not being saved properly.

    note:

    The saving process time can take from a minute for an Axial scanfile up to 2 hours for a Cardiac Helical Scan.
