Preventing Unauthorized Access
Prerequisite:
A Siemens service representative has activated the security package on the
ultrasound system to restrict user access.
The security package on the ultrasound system protects patient information from unauthorized
access by requiring a user account and password to access the ultrasound system. It is the
responsibility of the ultrasound system administrator at your facility to observe local security
policies and implement security settings and policies for the ultrasound system.
When the security package is activated, you can lock the screen to prevent unauthorized
access to patient information. An active screen saver display also locks the screen. A locked
screen requires a user name and password to access the system.
See also: For information about the screen saver, refer to Chapter 1 in this manual.
The ultrasound system administrator also assigns permissions for each user account.
Permissions establish data access rights (either no access or full access) that determine
whether a user can view studies stored on the system. To understand the permissions
assigned to your user account, or if you do not have a user name and case-sensitive password,
contact your ultrasound system administrator.
Use the system configuration menu to review the permissions assigned to the currently logged-
in user account.
