Downtime PACS is a modular suite of diagnostic imaging continuity systems that ensures uninterrupted access to radiology workflows during outages—whether caused by ransomware, PACS failure, power loss, or network disruption. It keeps imaging available when core hospital systems go down.

No—It operates independently and is not integrated with your live systems. It acts as a resilient overlay during failure—keeping imaging and reporting active while your core infrastructure is down.

Yes—Downtime PACS uses AES-256 encryption, a hardened Linux OS, zero-trust architecture, and maintains tamperproof audit logs. Access is role-based and it is fully HIPAA-compliant.

Very little. Simply configure each modality to send a DICOM copy to the Downtime PACS edge device. That’s it. No HL7 feeds, EMR connections, or worklist hooks are required.

Think of Downtime PACS as a non-disruptive overlay:

• It receives DICOM images directly from modalities

• It stores and displays those studies on secure local and/or cloud storage

• It routes images to cloud viewers or radiology group PACS when connected

• It never touches billing, scheduling, ADT, or patient orders

When your primary systems fail, Downtime PACS quietly takes over—keeping your imaging operation alive.
