4.6 Recalling, Entering, and Modifying Data
4.6.1 General
Patient is the top level of the instrument database record. A patient record consists of a mandatory
Patient ID and optional Patient Name.
You cannot create patient records at the instrument with no accessions or vials attached.
Accessions can exist in the database without being attached to patient records. If there are no vials
attached to the accessions, they are called orphan demographics.
Vials can exist unattached to accessions. These are called orphan vials.
Note that in a BD EpiCenter configuration, you cannot enter Patient ID or Patient Name at the
instrument. However, you can recall patient records by these fields. Also, you cannot enter Hospital
Service or Collection Date/Time at the instrument. This operation can only be performed at
the
BD EpiCenter system.
