A preset is a saved collection of imaging parameters that loads instantly when you select it. Capital Health Solutions configures vein-practice presets on every system we deliver, and presets transfer seamlessly from one Mindray system to another.
Preset Architecture
- System Preset: Global settings -- hospital name, logo, language, time zone.
- Exam Mode Preset: Per exam type (Lower Ext Vein, Carotid, etc.). This is where imaging parameters live.
- Measurement Preset: Which measurements are available in each exam mode.
- Comment Preset: Pre-configured text annotations and body markers.
- iWorks Preset: Automated workflow sequences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will customizing presets overwrite factory defaults?
Yes. Export to USB first as backup. Restore factory defaults anytime via Setup > Maintenance > Load Factory.
Can different sonographers have different presets?
Some Mindray models support user accounts. Check Setup > System Preset > Admin.
Do presets transfer between Mindray models?
Via PDP files to USB. MX7 and M8 Elite (same platform) have highest compatibility.
