cobas h 232 User Manual

Meter Setup
82
3.3 ID Setup setting
Use the ID Setup menu to enter settings for user management and patient management. These
settings are optional and set to Off/Inactive by default; the meter can be operated without these
settings.
There are three types of identification used with the meter:
■ System Administrator: The administrator has special rights to enter certain meter set-
tings and is the only one who can enter and change these settings. It is not necessary for
administrator identification to be activated to use the cobas h 232 meter. However, it
might be desired or necessary, depending on the regulatory environment and the site of
use.
■ Operator: The Operator ID is assigned to persons who use the meter to run tests. If you
want to use Operator IDs, you have several options:
– You may use Operator IDs to restrict the use of the meter to qualified personnel or a
predefined group of users. In this case an operator list created on a DMS must be trans-
ferred to the meter, enabling you to select an Operator ID when logging in. For more
details see “Data handling”, starting on page 163.
– You may use Operator IDs for informational purposes only, in order to assign stored
measurement results to the users who performed the test. In this case Operator IDs may
directly be entered on the meter (by keypad or scanner), with or without an operator list
being available.
■ Patient: The Patient ID is assigned to the person, whose test results are recorded. You
can either:
– block input of a unique Patient ID (in this case, every test is simply numbered in
consecutive order)
– allow a unique Patient ID as optional, or
– require a unique Patient ID for every test. Patient lists created on a DMS can also be trans-
ferred to the meter, enabling you to select Patient IDs for a test from these lists. For more
details see “Data handling”, starting on page 163.
Operator IDs can be selected from a list (if available) or read by the barcode scanner. If pass-
words were created, they must be entered via the onscreen keypad. Patient IDs can be entered
by using the onscreen keypad or the barcode scanner.
