Synchronizing Databases
HFA-NET Pro allows you to synchronize multiple HFA II- i units. Synchronization is the process of
ensuring that all compatible perimeters in the office contain the same database.
CAUTION: HFA II-i series system software 5.x creates a different database structure
that is not fully compatible with previous software releases. You can only synchronize
an HFA II-i version 5.x instrument with other HFA II-i version 5.x instruments.
Synchronization consists of moving data from two or more HFA II-
i
perimeters into a centralized
archive on the network server. Then, once all the data is gathered in one location, it can be retrieved
back to any or all of the HFA II-
i
perimeters from which the data originated. This synchronization
may be done automatically at a set time, or manually, as desired.
As an example, an office with 3 HFA II-
i
instruments has visual tests done on all three HFA II-
i
instruments in one day—10 patients on HFA #1, 12 patients on HFA #2, and 8 patients on HFA #3.
If the 3 HFA II-
i
instruments are synchronized on a daily basis, all 3 instruments will have all the new
test data from all 30 patients in each HFA database the next day. This allows you to run a GPA from
any GPA licensed HFA in the office, for instance.
Exporting Data from the HFA II-
i
With HFA-NET Pro, your HFA II-
i
perimeter is capable of exporting patient data, test data, and image
files (exam reports) to a file server or PC. These files can be organized into folders, viewed on the PC
as a TIFF or PDF file, or sent to a printer that is connected to the PC.
To better organize your database, you may place any of this information into Patient Folders . Patient
Folders are directories that contain all exams for a given patient.
The data can be transferred from your HFA II-
i
to a file server or PC either manually or automatically,
at a frequency that you determine. The “default-style printouts” referred to in the following sections
are the printouts that would normally be generated at the end of an exam: a Single Field Analysis
(or SFA GPA) for Threshold or a Screening printout. Kinetic and Custom test printouts are also
included when defining default-style printouts. These are traditionally printouts of a single visual
field test. An exception is the Both Eyes Screening printout (the O. U. printout) that captures the
results of both eyes on one page. “Multi-test printouts” are printouts that analyze more than one
test. This would include Overview, GPA and Change Analysis.
There are three methods that you can use to export data and they each have a specific purpose:
• The Transfer Tests function copies all selected exams (default-style printout) from your HFA II-
i
hard drive to your network. This is done from the Transfer Tests screen.
• The Save/Transmit Option continually keeps your newly completed exams (default-style
printout) exported to your network after saving to the hard drive and USB storage device on the
HFA II-
i
.
• The Print to a File option allows you to export all types of printouts (both default-style and
multi-test printouts) to your network. This is done from the Printout Selection screen.
