CoActiv EXAM-VAULT®Archive Service Receives Validation for Hologic Digital Mammography System
Ridgefield, CT – CoActiv Medical Business Solutions, a software and systems provider to hospitals and imaging centers for PACS, tele-radiology and DICOM services, today announced that CoActiv EXAM-Vault® Archive Service has been validated by Hologic, Inc. as an approved archiving solution for Hologic Selenia® Digital Mammography System.
CoActiv EXAM-Vault Archive Service and the Hologic digital mammography system provide a complete image management system for hospitals and imaging centers specializing in breast cancer prevention, detection and treatment. "CoActiv is pleased to be associated with a market leader in digital mammography. This relationship with Hologic further supports our commitment to meet the evolving requirements of medical digital imaging management," states Ed Heere, President of CoActiv.
EXAM-Vault is a cost effective and efficient archive solution that is particularly suited to handle large data sets inherit in digital mammography exams. Using a unique "Quad-Redundant" storage technique, CoActiv EXAM-Vault automatically and securely saves every exam in four locations, three of which are always on-line and immediately accessible. This on-line storage solution expedites the recall of prior digital mammography exams for comparisons and transmission to referring physicians. "We are so convinced that EXAM-Vault is the most robust, secure and redundant medical imaging archive available in the healthcare industry that we are prepared to back it up with the industry’s only 100% Up- Time SLA (Service Level Agreement)," states Mr. Heere. In fact, not a single EXAM-Vault customer has had a second of archive down time since we began offering this service almost two years ago." The CoActiv "Quad-Redundant" storage sequence is outlined here:
1. As soon as an exam is received from any DICOM compliant modality, it is first stored on-line and on-site at the local facility on a temporary basis. This local storage is available in various sizes from 160-gigabytes up to hundreds of terabytes, determined by particular client requirements.
2. Then the exam is instantly, and automatically, copied to the primary data center archive, which is also stored on-line and always available for instant recall.
3. The exam is then simultaneously mirrored to a redundant CoActiv archive site where it is also stored on-line and immediately available.
4. And finally, all exams are permanently archived to duplicate digital removable media (DVDs), with one copy stored at the data center and the other forwarded to the client.
EXAM-Vault is part of CoActiv’s enterprise picture archiving and communication system, EXAM-PACS®.
