Barcode scanner
Using a DMS, the barcode scanner may be configured to accept only selected barcode symbol-
ogies. Furthermore, it is possible to define a barcode mask for Patient ID and Operator ID. With
masks being defined, the meter checks a barcode after scanning and rejects it, if it does not
match the mask. See “Example of barcode symbologies” on page 191 for further information.
Stored test results and comments
When performing a test, the test result will be stored along with additional information, including
the Patient ID, Operator ID, the kind of test performed, and optional Comments. The meter comes
with a default set of Comments that can be assigned to each test result. If you are working with
a DMS, these comments can be replaced by the comments in the DMS. The new wording will
then be available for selection from the Comments list in the meter.
When working with Patient lists, you have the following options:
■ A Patient ID does not have to be on the list to be scanned and used.
■ The meter displays a warning that the Patient ID scanned is not on the list.
■ The meter displays an error message that the ID was not found on the list of valid Patient
IDs. You must enter a valid ID to proceed.
Up to 3 comments can be assigned to each result.
The Comment function may be configured to be either optional, required for test results which
are out of range, or always required. If the user is required to enter/select a comment, com-
pletely empty comments will not be accepted by the meter.
