Samsung HM70 EVO Cloud Image Sharing Setup Guide
How to connect your Samsung HM70 EVO to the cloud so ultrasound images are automatically shared with patients — no USB drives, no CDs, no extra steps.
The Samsung HM70 EVO is one of the most popular ultrasound machines in elective and keepsake studios. It produces excellent 3D/4D images that parents love. But getting those images off the machine and into patients' hands? That's where most studios struggle.
The traditional workflow looks something like this: scan the patient, save images to USB, transfer to a computer, upload somewhere, email or text a link. It's slow, error-prone, and takes up staff time after every session.
In this guide, we'll walk through how to set up automatic cloud image sharing on your Samsung HM70 EVO using SonoLink. Once configured, images flow from your machine to the cloud the moment you finish a scan — and patients get a link they can open on any phone.
What You Need
- Samsung HM70 EVO (or any Samsung MEDISON machine with DICOM support)
- Ethernet connection (the HM70 has a built-in network port)
- Internet-connected router or switch at your studio
- A SonoLink account ($15/month)
How It Works (The Big Picture)
Before diving into settings, here's what we're setting up:
Samsung HM70
Sends images via DICOM
SonoLink Cloud
Stores & organizes
Patient Phone
Opens link, views images
Your Samsung HM70 uses a standard called DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) to send images over the network. SonoLink runs a DICOM server in the cloud that receives those images, organizes them by patient, and generates a shareable gallery link.
The Samsung HM70 identifies itself on the network as “MEDISON” — that's Samsung's internal name for their ultrasound line. You don't need to change this. SonoLink recognizes it automatically.
Step 1: Connect the HM70 to Your Network
Plug an Ethernet cable from the HM70's network port into your studio's router or network switch. The machine will automatically get an IP address via DHCP (the same way your computer connects to WiFi — just with a cable).
Tip: WiFi adapters exist for the HM70, but wired Ethernet is more reliable for image transfer. A dropped WiFi connection mid-transfer can cause images to fail silently. Use Ethernet if at all possible.
Step 2: Configure the DICOM Destination
On the Samsung HM70, you need to tell the machine where to send images. This is done by adding a “DICOM destination” in the settings.
- Open Setup → Go to the machine's setup/configuration menu
- Find DICOM / Network settings → Look for “DICOM Store” or “Network Destination”
- Add a new destination with these values:
When you sign up for SonoLink, you'll get your specific server IP address and a unique AE Title for your studio. These values are shown on your dashboard immediately after setup.
Step 3: Send a Test Image
After adding the DICOM destination, perform a test scan (or use a stored image) and send it to SonoLink:
- Select an image from a completed exam
- Choose “Send” or “DICOM Store”
- Select the SonoLink destination you just added
- Confirm the send
Within a few seconds, the image should appear in your SonoLink dashboard. If it does — you're connected and ready to go.
Step 4: Share the Gallery Link with the Patient
Once images are received by SonoLink, they're automatically organized into a patient gallery. You (or your front desk) share the gallery link via text message or show a QR code on screen.
The patient taps the link on their phone, enters a simple PIN for privacy, and sees all their images in a clean mobile gallery. They can save images, share with family, and come back any time.
No app download. No account creation. No email signup. Just a link that works.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
“Images aren't appearing in SonoLink”
- Check the Ethernet cable — Make sure it's plugged in securely on both ends
- Verify the IP address — Double-check the server IP matches what SonoLink gave you
- Check the port — It should be
4242 - Check your AE Title — The destination AE Title must match exactly what SonoLink assigned
“The machine says ‘connection refused’”
- Ensure your studio's internet is working (try loading a webpage on another device)
- Some routers have firewall rules that block outbound connections on non-standard ports — you may need to allow outbound traffic on port 4242
“Images are blurry or low quality”
Check your DICOM send settings on the HM70. Some machines default to sending compressed or thumbnail-quality images. Look for a “transfer syntax” or “quality” setting and make sure it's set to full/original quality.
What About Other Samsung Machines?
This guide focuses on the HM70 EVO, but the same setup works for any Samsung ultrasound machine with DICOM support, including:
- Samsung HS40
- Samsung HS50
- Samsung HM70A
- Samsung WS80A
- Samsung RS85 Prestige
All Samsung MEDISON machines use the same DICOM protocol, so the configuration is virtually identical. The menu layout may differ slightly between models.
Why Cloud Sharing Beats USB Drives
| USB / CD | SonoLink Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5-10 min per patient | Automatic, instant |
| Cost | $1-3 per USB drive | $15/mo flat (unlimited) |
| Patient can share | No (physical media) | Yes (link works on any phone) |
| Lost images | USB gets lost | Always available online |
| Staff time | Manual transfer each time | Zero — fully automatic |
