Update Patient Information with a Barcode Reader
Using a barcode reader can simplify the entry of patient information and reduce
the chance of introducing errors. When you scan a patient’s barcode, it retrieves
the patient information encoded in the barcode. You can then verify and modify the
information.
You can scan a patient's barcode using an external barcode reader or the internal
barcode reader of the Acquisition Module.
Before you use an external barcode reader, make sure that:
• The BRCD option to use an external barcode reader is activated on the device.
• The barcode reader is connected to the device, and the device is correctly
configured to use the peripheral. For more information, see the MAC VU360
