WIT Product FAQ's

What is CPR?
CPR is a PC based application which provides for the archival and restoration of ADACTM/PhilipsTM PegasysTM and AtlasTM systems.


What is unique about CPR?
No-one else in the industry can provide you with the ability to archive your PegasysTM and or AtlasTM in approximately 1/2 hour.
No-one else in the industry can provide you with the ability to restore your PegasysTM and or AtlasTM in approximately 1/2 hour.


Where can I get CPR?
CPR is currently marketed through the fine people at UMRi (Universal Medical Resources Inc.).  They will be the point of contact for price quotes, additional questions, etc.


What is an ADAC/Philips Pegasys?
The term PegasysTM refers to a family of processing systems produced by ADACTM/PhilipsTM that fall into the following categories:

PegasysXTM systems - These systems are typically used for generic acquisition, ALL of the ADACTM Analog detector systems, and some of the early EpicTM detector systems.  These early EpicTM detector systems are usually characterized by the presence of a large computer cabinet.  They should ALWAYS be running PegasysTM Version 3.4 software.

Pegasys
TM Ultra systems - These systems are used in conjunction with the AtlasTM acquisition system.  The are usually a desktop or small PC tower based unit.  PegasysTM Ultra systems will either be running PegasysTM Version 4.2 or Version 5.0 software.


What kind of systems can be archived by CPR?
All platforms of PegasysTM (versions 3.4, 4.2 and 5.0) systems can be archived with CPR.
All AtlasTM based acquisition systems can be archived with CPR.


What is archived by CPR?
CPR archives ALL important information which makes the target system unique.  It archives all network configurations, (master, slave, etc). It archives all processing applications and their associated configurations and protocols.  It archives all acquisition application information, including acquisition protocols, correction tables, EPICTM tune data and history, etc.  In short it archives everything that is needed to get your system back to its current functional state.


What is NOT archived by CPR?
CPR DOES NOT archive patients.  This was a purposeful decision as if you restore a system that was archived 2 years ago, you do not want to have a 2 year old patient list structure.  


How difficult is it to use CPR?
CPR is mainly a point and click application.  It requires the person setting it up to be capable of making IP address changes on the system hosting the CPR application.  It also requires knowledge of various pieces of information from the target ADACTM system.  This information is obtained easily and is fully documented in the downloadable CPR documentation.

If you do not feel comfortable with the above listed items, CPR can be installed, set up, and the initial archive can be performed by a trained UMRi field service technician.


What should I experience when I use CPR to archive?
When the CPR archive function start, you should get a message stating

"Performing initial setup . . . ".                                      This part should take approximately 20 seconds (give or take). 
"Starting archive process of 1st part . . . . "  
"Transferring the first archive part to the PC . . . "          During this time, you should see a blue "transferring xxx of xxx" screen.
                                                                                  NOTE: Some take MUCH longer than others, some are very quick.
"Done Transferring, now we need to do some clean up on the ADACTM system . . ."
"Starting archive process on the next part . . . . "
    .
    .                                                                              The process is repeated for the number of datasets archived.
    .
"Transferring the Final Part to the PC . . . "
"Done Transferring, now we need to do some clean up on the ADACTM system . . ."
"            S U C C E S S         , The archive process is now finished. "

The entire process will generally take approximately 1/2 hour per system, depending of course on the amount of data saved and the transfer speed of the network connection on which you are connected.


How do I know if CPR backed up my system successfully?
CPR creates directories based upon the System Description given when configuring the system in CPR.  The directories are created as a sub-directory of the CPR directory.  This is typically located in  C:\Program Files\WIT CPR .  The types and number of files, and their respective file sizes will vary based upon what is archived, and what software is on the system archived.
           PegasysXTM (3.4) systems will contain:
                                     part_a
                                     part_b
                                     part_c
                                     part_pat
                                     pdlist

           PegasysTM Ultra (4.2) systems will contain:
                                     part_a
                                     part_b
                                     part_c
                                     part_d
                                     part_pat
                                     pdlist

           PegasysTM Ultra (5.0) systems will contain:
                                     part_a
                                     part_b
                                     part_c
                                     part_d
                                     part_pat
                                     pdlist

           AtlasTM systems will contain:
                                     atlas_a
                                     atlas_b
                                     atlas_d
                                     atlas_home
 
Obviously, if I have archived a PegasysTM Ultra and an AtlasTM for a given system, the directory will contain both the PegasysTM
Ultra files and the AtlasTM files.

Another way to identify of the files exist is to look to see if the "Export Dataset" button on the mail page is there, absence of the button means all of the needed file sets for the systems do not exist.

Installation errors.
Installing MS PadTM  and or the VBTM runtime files should resolve most/all of the installation & runtime errors.  CPR uses some MS functions which are made available when MS officeTM is installed. Therefor if MS OfficeTM is not installed, a substitute of using MS PadTM will give the same resources.

Installation error / question about mlist.prg
If you see an error concerning overwriting an older file named mlist.prg, you should just  ignore the error and continue with the installation.
