The customer or the user of the DoseAware system can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
DoseAware system as recommended below, according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment:
A minimum distance of 20 cm between a PDM and a mobile phone or
•
regular electronic device (e.g. a computer).
• A minimum distance of 50 cm between a PDM and a medical device or
intended radiator (e.g. a wireless router).
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
During communication between the Base Station and PDMs, personal data is
transmitted in open air.
Be careful when using a PDM while being near a patient and make sure that
the PDM does not fall or comes in contact with other equipment (such as a
catheter) to endanger the procedure.
Do not move a PDM to an unknown environment (for example another
hospital). If you are visiting unknown environments, there is a risk that
personal data is registered there. For correct registration of staff dose data,
only use the PDM within designated environment.
Philips Medical Systems declares that all CE marked DoseAware products
incorporating Radio and Telecoms Terminal Equipment functionality are in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of
Directive 1999/5/EC.
We recognize that the security of Philips Medical Systems products is an
important part of your facility's security-in depth strategy. However, these
benefits can only be realized if you implement a comprehensive, multilayered strategy (including policies, processes, and technologies) to protect
information and systems from external and internal threats.
Following industry-standard practice, your strategy should address physical
security, operational security, procedural security, risk management, security
policies, and contingency planning. The practical implementation of
technical security elements varies by site and may employ a number of
technologies, including firewalls, virus-scanning software, authentication
technologies, etc.
As with any computer-based system, protection must be provided such that
firewalls and/or other security devices are in place between the medical
system and any externally accessible systems.
The USA Veterans Administration has developed a widely used Medical
Device Isolation Architecture for this purpose. Such perimeter and network
defenses are essential elements in a comprehensive medical device security
strategy.

Change PDM information and settings
N O T E
This chapter contains instructions and commonly used workflows in Dose
Manager. Detailed descriptions of all the available features are found in
section “Get to know Dose Manager ” on page 3-1.
When you change the PDM’s information and settings in Dose
Manager the PDM will synchronize these changes to Base Stations and
DoseView.
It is only possible to access and change the PDM options when the PDM is placed in
a Cradle.
Follow the instructions below to change PDM information and settings:
1 Make sure that a Cradle is connected to your computer’s USB port.
2 Insert a PDM in the Cradle.
The computer will detect the PDM automatically and the PDM
information will appear in Dose Manager.
3 Access the PDM options dialog by clicking the PDM options button in the
PDM Group in the Home tab.
The PDM options dialog is separated in three tabs. For descriptions about
the information that is available in these tabs, see section “PDMs” on page
3-4.
1 Click the button Synchronize USB in the Home toolbar.
2 Select the folder from which to synchronize Base Station data.
3 Click OK.
Finding Base Stations on a local network might not be possible due to the
network configuration. If you cannot find a Base Station that is installed on
your local network it can also be added to the list of Base Stations for Dose
Manger using its network IP address. The IP address used by the Base
Station can be found in its network setup menu.
Troubleshooting
If communication with a Base Stations that has been manually added to the
list by using its network address does not work, it might be a result of
network configuration. Make sure that the Base Station and Dose manager
PC is connected to the same network and use the same subnet mask. If the
problems cannot be resolved, contact the local network administrator.
Follow the instructions below to collect data from USB:

Technical data
PDM and Base Station/Dose Manager memories
Time management
Dose rate samples that have been overwritten in the PDM’s dose rate
memory may still be available in the Base Station and
Dose Manager memories.
If there are no dose rate samples neither in the Base Station or
Dose Manager memories, nor in the PDM dose rate memory, the Base
Station and Dose Manager will instead display mean dose rate values based
on accumulated dose values.
Lack of dose rate samples in the Base Station and/or
Dose Manager memories occurs when the:
• PDM is not within range of the Base Station when it is exposed to radiation.
Dose rate samples in the PDM dose rate memory are overwritten.
•
The PDM logs dose history in local time with no daylight saving time
adjustments. Daylight saving time adjustment is done in the Base Station,
DoseView or Dose Manager when the dose history is presented.
The following happens when the daylight saving time is changed:
• When going to summertime, one extra hour with no dose data will be
added to the dose log.
• When going to wintertime, two hours of dose data will be merged into
one hour. This hour contains no dose rate details. When changing
from summertime to wintertime, dose date details in the two merged
hours will not be displayed.
