The MetaProxy 1000 is a small footprint dependable
mini-PACS appliance with a little over half
a terrabyte of primary storage space for your
images and medical information.
The MetaProxy 1000 provides you an affordable
DICOM image store that can accept images from
all of your DICOM modalities, and then distribute
them to their intended recipients from a central
location, allowing your care-providers to access
their images conveniently.
The MetaProxy 1000 is easy to configure and
easy to use. Mate Fusion pre-configures your
MetaProxy 1000, and you simply attach power
and your network, and your mini-PACS is on-line
and ready to use. Using a simple-to-use control
panel, you can configure various features and
conveniences for your optimal workflow, and
set storage management criteria that will do
the storage administration for you. Meta Fusion's
Control Center remotely keeps an eye on your
MetaProxy 1000, and deals with any events or
issues that may need attention, and keeps the
Meta Proxy software package up-to-date with
our advances. In this way, your MetaProxy 1000
becomes a zero-maintenance self-updating mini-PACS
appliance that will give you dependable continuous
service without need for your staff to perform
any maintenance or upgrades.
The MetaProxy 1000 comes without RAID or other
disk redundancy. It is a high quality product
that gets its dependability from the selection
and proper combination of the right components
and attention to quality and to detail. A MetaProxy
1000 uses a modiified enterprise Linux operating
system and incorporates Meta Fusion's fault-tolerance
know-how, and the benefit to you is that this
appliance can run for months at a time without
need for maintenance, as verified by our quality
verification procedures. As the appliance incorporates
Meta Fusion's collaboration protocols, it can
be made to inter-operate with Meta Fusion's
high-end image stores and archives to provide
you with medical information retention for a
period of years, in compliance with applicable
regulations in your country and jurisdiction.
Using a number of fault models, failure analyses
and ISO 14971 Fault-tree and FEMA analyses,
the Meta Fusion fault-tolerance kernel and the
combination of the MetaProxy 1000 with any one
of the other Meta Fusion PACS components provides
a degree of high-availability exceeding those
of PACS solutions currently offered commercially.
The MetaProxy 1000 is a versatile appliance
as it combines the features of a full mini-PACS
with the features of a proxy or edge server.
A proxy server can be thought of as a device
used to provide information efficiently and
quickly to a group of users without congesting
networks. This versatility provides the MetaProxy
1000 with the capability of being easily combined
with another MetaProxy 1000 (or two or more)
and to provide a high-availability mini-PACS
solution, very affordably. The benefit to you
is that you can begin with a single MetaProxy
1000 and grow your very dependable mini-PACS
into a high-availability mini-PACS by adding
one MetaProxy (or more), or by adding a MetaStore,
or a MetaArchive. Or for the greatest convenience,
why not combine it with our MetaWorld II pay-per-use
on-line archive, so that you do not have any
set-up or maintenance tasks related to installing
and operating an enterprise archive in your
location. With the MetaWorld archive service,
you can operate your short-term on-site mini-PACS,
and rely on finding older information stored
safely in the MetaWorld archive. With these
many choices for building a high-availability
mini-PACS, your MetaProxy 1000's versatility
provides you with many expansion and growth
options. If your needs increase and you evolve
your business to having a full MetaPACS, your
versatile MetaProxy 1000 is re-used as a proxy
or edge server, improving the performance of
your MetaPACS, and you continue to get the benefit
of your investment in your dependable mini-PACS
appliance.
Your MetaProxy 1000 comes with a firewall and
VPN and is secured by Meta Fusion to ensure
continued dependable operation despite events
that compromise your networks and security,
such as attacks and intrusions. The Meta Fusion
security applied tothe MetaProxy 1000 delivers
a hardened appliance that guards the privacy
of your medical information to a very high standard
of care and effectiveness.
The MetaProxy 1000 can operate as a VPN endpoint
to a link-load-balanced multi-path connection
with another PACS, such as a MetaPACS located
in a remote hospital connected to the outside
world by means of a MetaStrand solution. This
provides the benefit of using the MteaProxy
500 as a mini-PACS in a remote office or imaging
center affiliated with a hospital or health-care
facility, and delivering images to their intended
destination without needing expensive hardware.
If you are a care-provider that routinely evaluates
images as part of routine diagnosis, with a
MetaProxy 1000 applianceinstalled in your office,
you can get immediate access to DICOM images
scanned at a multiple remote imaging facilities
and hospitals over the internet. By eliminating
the lack of access or delays in access to patient
images, a neurosurgeon, or an orthopedic surgeon,
or a urologist, or a cadiac surgeon with 100
patients per month will be able to read 100
previously unavailable studies that would yield
an average of $6000 in revenue, revenue that
is otherwise lost due to lack of availability
of images. With the MetaProxy 1000 installed,
images can be rapidly delivered to your office
for reading or review shortly after their acquisition.
The MetaProxy product family is available internationally
and conforms with ISO 13485:2003 and 21 CFR
808, 812, 820 CGMP and QSR and with other applicable
regulations.
