Data folder to archive the results in machine-readable formats for programmatic
analysis.
Step 6. Delete results from the Reports directory to remove them from the device. If you are
saving results in multiple formats (e.g., PDF and JPEG), all formats have to be deleted in
order to remove the result from the device and make space for future tests. The raw
data files (.rff) and XML files (.rffx) do not need to be deleted. The device will
automatically remove those files as appropriate.

Electronic medical record (EMR) support
The RET
eval
device supports EMR integration through the use of passing files between a host PC
and the EMR folder on the RET
eval
device. The patient ID and birthdate can be electronically
transferred to the device, and only need to be confirmed on the device before starting a test. On
completion of a test, docking the RET
eval
device back with the PC enables results to be
electronically pulled off the device and into the EMR. Contact LKC for more details about
currently supported EMR systems and integration options with your EMR.
