2.3. Overview of Operation
System Alerts
If a problem occurs during scanning or processing a case, or while transmitting case
results, the system issues an alert. There are three general types of alerts:
Alert Icon Status
A non-fatal fault condition has occurred. This alert appears on the case
study icons (see previous table).
The software has processed the images successfully, but a fault
condition has occurred that may require user intervention.
Case has failed, results have not been sent.
A description of the alert condition appears for the selected study in the area of the
screen below the study’s R2 ID.
The outcome of any alert condition depends upon the nature of the problem the
system has encountered. In the example shown below, the system is experiencing
problems as it attempts to send case results to a CheckMate Ultra display unit and to
a printer. If after repeated attempts it cannot transmit the case results, the system may
issue a ‘case-failed’ alert and change the study icon accordingly.
The system produces alerts for a variety of reasons. When necessary, the alert
description provides instructions for resolving the problem. In some cases you will
want to refer to ‘
Part 4: Alerts ’ for more information about a particular alert.
