Note: All CPWS installations include the following SQL licenses:
SQL MSDE 2000 can store up to 2GB of data (this accommodates approximately 1500 stress
tests, depending on file size).
SQL Server 2005 Express can store up to 4GB of data.
SQL Server 2008 Express R2 SP2 can store up to 10GB of data.
You can purchase MS SQL licenses from Microsoft for versions that allow unlimited storage.
2. Overview
Welcome to the Welch Allyn CardioPerfect® Workstation (CPWS), the medical diagnostic workstation that
offers the next step for PC-based medical systems. CPWS includes the following features:
A database with virtually unlimited storage based on the Microsoft® SQL Server™ database software
The possibility to integrate different diagnostic tools
One framework for different diagnostic modules
This manual explains how to install and configure CPWS. For information about using CPWS, see the
CPWS user manual. Module-specific instructions are in the user manuals of the applicable modules.
Product configurations
CPWS includes the following components:
Server (database): You use this component to store and view data sent from clients to this computer.
Install only one server at your site.
Client station in a network (application): You use this component to run CPWS with one or more of
the diagnostic modules. The client sends data collected by CPWS to the server. You can install one or
many clients at your site.
Before installing, determine how you want to configure CPWS:
Single-PC configuration: A stand-alone system on a single computer.
Client station in a network configuration: Installing a network configuration means that the server
and client components are on different computers. They require an external connection to
communicate with each other, typically a network.
Server configuration: Installs the software and the database.
Custom configuration: Select the parts you want to install.

DIR 80013928, Ver. F 9 / 56
Page 10
CardioPerfect Workstation
Note: When installing CPWS, you must upgrade all clients and the database. (The new software is not
compatible with previous versions of the database.)
Do not use CPWS software on any client workstations during this process.
Caution: In some cases, the norm implementations differ in pre-1.5.0 versions causing differences
in the predicted values after recalculation. Full details on the norm implementation differences are
available upon request.
Upgrades
SpiroPerfect update
In versions before 1.5.0, Spirometry’s predicted values were calculated differently than in newer software
releases. Predicted values were calculated at the moment a Spirometry test loaded into the system, based
on the Norm setting configured under Settings. As of version 1.5.0, the norm values are calculated at the
moment the test starts, and the values are stored with the test.
When upgrading from pre-1.5.0 software, the installation process will optionally calculate the norm values
for your Spirometry tests already in the database if it detects any Spirometry tests for which the predicted
values can be calculated. The upgrade process tries to provide the best possible match between the
pre-1.5.0 norm selection active on your system at the time of the upgrade installation, and the norms
implemented in new software release, and prompts you to confirm the mapping. If no match is found, the
suggested norm selection will be empty. You can use the norm suggested by the upgrade, select a
different norm to use, or cancel the calculation of the predicted values.

Note: Full administrator privileges are required to correctly configure Telemedicine.
10. Install additional options or features
Install Telemedicine software
Telemedicine is an optional extension to CPWS. Without the correct release code, the Telemedicine
functionality will not be activated.
With Telemedicine, it is possible to send and receive tests and interpretations to and from predefined
contacts. This typically allows expertise sharing and second opinion consults, but might also be used for
administrative purposes in situations where replication cannot be used.
Telemedicine offers the following methods for sending and receiving email:
Email facilities.
Direct communication, using TCP/IP sockets.
In both cases, the Internet or any other TCP/IP network must be available as transportation infrastructure.
You can use a mix of both email and direct socket connection.
Telemedicine, like CPWS, is built using a client / server architecture. This means Telemedicine scales
from use on a single standalone computer with a modem, to a configuration of multiple client computers, a
MSSQL database server and a telemedicine mail server working together in a LAN network.
Before installing Telemedicine, make sure that the hardware and software requirements are met (see
“System requirements” on page 11), determine the type of communication you will use and, if in a network,
identify which computer(s) will run as clients and which as mail server.
The Telemedicine option requires significant IT skills to install and configure. Detailed instructions on
installation and configuration can be found in Section 10 of the CardioPerfect Workstation Service and
Advanced Installation manual.
For a more detailed description of how to use Telemedicine, see the CPWS user manual.

11. Thin-client interface
If you plan to operate the CPWS in a thin-client environment, install the Welch Allyn PerfectLink® ECG
client on the client PC. Clients can access the application via presentation applications such as Citrix ICA
and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS).
Device data acquisition through a thin-client interface requires the following:
Resting ECG and Spirometry: The Welch Allyn PerfectLink thin-client solution.
ABPM: A serial interface. With the serial interface, the system administrator can configure your
system to share the serial port over the network between the server and the clients.
Thin-client system requirements
To work with CPWS software in thin-client environment, you need the following minimum recommended
configuration:
¹ Both 32- and 64-bit operating systems are supported.

CardioPerfect Workstation
Note: If you plan to connect the USB PRO ECG or Spiro USB recorder to several thin-client PCs,
install PerfectLink on each thin client. PerfectLink enables the remote server to see
USB-connected devices.
Before you begin
Make sure that you have administrator rights for this computer.
Close all programs before starting the installation.
Configure the CPWS server
Install CPWS on the server as described in “Install CPWS software,” starting on page 12. It is not
necessary to install the drivers for the acquisition devices on the server.
Although the installer may handle this on its own, it is good practice when installing new software on a
version of Windows Server to switch to “Install Mode” before installing CPWS or any of its components.
This can be accomplished by typing the following command in the command prompt:
change user /INSTALL
After installing CPWS and its components, you can exit Install Mode by entering the following command:
change user /EXECUTE
You can obtain the current status by entering this command:
change user /QUERY
This applies only to systems with Terminal Services installed or configured when operating in “Application
Mode.” If in Remote Administration mode (the only mode available if Terminal Services is not installed),
this has no effect.
Configure thin clients for ECG and Spirometry
1. Close all running programs.
2. Insert the CardioPerfect Workstation disc. The installer menu appears. (If this menu does not appear,
explore the disc, and run installer.exe.)
3. Click CardioPerfect Connectivity Tools, then click Install PerfectLink thin client support.
The Welcome screen appears.
4. Click Next.
5. Start a thin-client remote session. Within CardioPerfect running in the remote session:
a. Navigate to the Settings dialog, then the ECG section and the Recorder tab.
b. Select PerfectLink as the port to use.
c. In the Spirometry section, go to the Recorder tab.
d. Select PerfectLink in the “Connect to” dropdown list.

Configure thin clients for ABPM
This procedure applies only to ABPM.
To connect ABPM devices, enable COM port forwarding through RDP or Citrix.
Microsoft RDP COM port forwarding. If you use Remote Desktop services (using the RDP protocol),
you can select from the options in the Terminal Services Client.
a. Open Remote Desktop Connection.
b. Select Options to expand the dialog.
c. Navigate to the Local Resources tab.
d. If Serial devices is not present on this page, select More.
e. In the Local devices and resources list, check Serial ports.
f. Click OK and connect to the remote computer.
Citrix ICA COM port forwarding.
If you use Citrix (ICA), you map the serial port from the server using the following command:
net use comx: \\client\comz:
where x is the server COM port and z is the client COM port. Note that client is not replaced by the
client workstation name; it is the word “client”.
For NFuse implementations, you may need to change the template.ica file from COMAllowed=NO to
COMAllowed=Yes
For detailed information about enabling COM port forwarding, see documentation from Microsoft or
Citrix.
Citrix serial port sharing configuration: In the Citrix Program Neighborhood window (the window
containing Citrix connections) use the menu system (the Tools menu) to select configuring serial
devices. Proceed through the prompts to add a serial port to share through the client. After adding a
serial port, devices connected on the client are available to CPWS on the server. For details on
configuring shared serial ports, see the Citrix user documentation.

12. About the database
CPWS can use these database engines:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express
Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Microsoft SQL Server 7
Microsoft MSDE database (a runtime version of MS SQL Server 7 / 2000)
Database installation
The database installation process installs the Microsoft MSDE database engine, the Microsoft SQL Server
2005 Express engine, or the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express engine depending on your
installation selection, and creates a database named ccdb in an instance named CARDIOPERFECT. This
database contains all information generated by CPWS. A second database called ccdbaudit is installed for
maintaining an audit trail when enabled.
Working with Microsoft SQL Server 2000
To work with CPWS, the database engine must be running. By default, the database engine starts
automatically when you start the computer. However, you can also manually start the SQL server.
1. Click Start and point to Programs.
2. Point to the MSDE (or MSSQL7 or MSDE SQL Server 2000) folder and click Service Manager. The
SQL Server Service Manager appears.
3. From the Services list, select SQLServer.
4. Click Start/Continue to start SQL Server.
You have successfully started the MS SQL Server when the SQL Server Service Manager icon
displays a green triangle instead of a red square.
Working with SQL Server 2005 Express
1. Click Start and point to All Programs.
2. Point to the SQL Server 2005 folder and the Configuration Tools folder and the SQL Configuration
Manager. The SQL Server Configuration Manager appears.
3. From the Services list, double-click SQL Server 2005 Services.
4. Select SQL Server (CARDIOPERFECT), point to the Action button, and click Start.
Working with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
1. Go to All Apps (Windows 8) or All Programs (Windows 7).
2. Go to the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express engine folder and the Configuration Tools folder and
the SQL Server Configuration Manager. The SQL Server Service Manager appears.
3. From the Services list (Items), double-click SQL Server Services.
4. Select SQL Server (CARDIOPERFECT), go to the Action button, and click Start.

13. Before configuring CPWS
Security
CPWS has a security mechanism that can be used to prevent certain users to take certain actions.
You can control:
The users that access CPWS. This is done through user accounts and passwords.
Actions users can perform with CPWS. This is done by assigning each user a role. Each role can only
perform a predefined set of actions.
Access and action control can be configured with the user administration functionality in the
Administrator tool.
Authentication types
Authentication is performed through the login process. When logging into CPWS, a user must provide a
password as proof of identification.
CPWS can use these types of user authentication:
NT authentication
NT authentication takes advantage of Windows NT user security and account mechanisms. Users with
a valid NT account can start CPWS without entering a user name and password. Instead, the Windows NT
user name and password are used for Windows users that are currently logged in. So, you can control
access to Windows NT and CPWS with just one user account.
Database authentication
Database authentication uses CPWS security system.
Anonymous authentication
If enabled, the anonymous login option allows users to log in without further authentication. You can use
this only if the “ccguest” account is enabled. Anonymous access should be avoided and may be illegal
according to local regulations. On systems with HIPAA support, anonymous access is disabled.
Accounts
CPWS includes the following user accounts:
ccdba account
ccguest account
DIR 80013928, Ver. F 27 / 56
Page 28
CardioPerfect Workstation
The Admin and SA accounts contain special privileges
Admin account
The Admin account is a CPWS user account that gives access to workstation functionality that can
only be used by the system administrator, such as the Administrator tool.
The Admin account can perform every possible action. To prevent abuse, change the password of this
account after installation. If domain users have been added as administrators, the built-in Admin
account can be disabled or deleted.
SA account
The SA account is an MSDE server administrator login that gives access to functionality related to the
database.
If the SQL engine is installed by the CardioPerfect installation program, the SA account password is
Cardio.Perfect.
To prevent abuse, change the password for this account after installation.
A word on HIPAA
As of April 2003, the Privacy provisions of the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 are mandatory for all entities except small health plans. Among other things, HIPAA requires all
repositories of Healthcare Information to provide access only to authorized individuals and to maintain an
audit trail of activity performed with that data.
Welch Allyn CardioPerfect keeps track of this audit trail in a separate database called ccdbaudit which is
installed during set-up. When upgrading from an older version, the audit database may not yet exist. Upon
detecting this situation, CPWS prompts you to run the dbbuilder tool to correct this situation.
The HIPAA mode can be switched on and off from the Administrator tool. For more information, see
“HIPAA audit functions” on page 36.
Additional functionality of HIPAA-mode
Audit trail of log-ins and attempted logins
Audit trail of data access, change, deletion, print-out, import and export of patient and test data
Anonymous access is disabled
Inactivity time-out; after not using CPWS for a period of time, it requires reentry of your password to
reactivate the program
Considerations for system administrators
In the HIPAA Settings of the Administrator tool, CPWS adds security features and audit functionality to
enable a fully HIPAA-compliant environment. In addition to this basic functionality, the overall system
configuration must also provide for measures such as security policies on passwords (for example,
password complexity and aging). We strongly recommend using NT authentication along with the security
policy enforcement that the NT Server provides.

14.9 Database functions
In a computer environment, there is always a possibility that something goes wrong: database tables may
be lost or corrupted. To limit the possible risk of data loss you should back up your database regularly.
With the Administrator tool you can make a full backup of your database. During the backup, copies of the
database and the transaction log are made. These copies can be used to restore the database after the
database has become corrupt or is lost during a catastrophic event.
You can back up a database in the following ways:
Manually: The simplest way to back up the database. You can manually back up the database at any
time you want.
Automatically: A backup or a series of backups at a fixed date and time. To back up the database
automatically you must schedule a backup.
Access database functions
