P Buttons / S Buttons/ Send Buttons / Acquire

You can program a button on your ultrasound system to send study images Tricefy.

• P buttons -- Sends the image on the screen to the patient (or archive)
• End Exam -- Sends the entire study when the exam is complete

This is not a requirement, especially if you prefer your ultrasound system to send every study automatically.
