Entering the patient age
This analyzer provides three ways for you to enter the patient age – in years, in months and
in days. The first way is designed for the adult or pediatric patients no younger than one year;
the second for the infant patients one month to one year; the third for the neonatal patients no
older than 28 days. You can choose only one of the three ways to enter the patient age.

the “Years” box.
To enter the patient age in months:ENTER
the desired number, an integer from 0 to 12, into
the “Months” box.
To enter the patient age in days:ENTER the desired number, an integer from 0 to 31, into the
“Days” box.
