Chapter 4 Entering Patient Information
Enter the name, age and gender of the patient.
There are following 6 methods to enter the information.
Select an appropriate method depending on the situation.
The Difference between Patient File Selection and Loading Past Information
• Patient file selection allows to select patient information from a patient information list.
• Loading past information allows to load patient information from examination data saved to a media (including internal
memory) by entering the patient's ID. The patient's height can be loaded from previous examination data, which is convenient
when measuring CAVI in pulse wave examinations. (This is the same as the "Load ID" function of the VS-1500 series.)
When using the device for the first time, set whether to assign the ID in the patient information with or without zero
padding (adding zeros to the ID). If using zero padding, set the number of digits to be used for ID. (Refer to "Patient
Information Settings" (P11-9).)
