Methods for Entering and Editing Patient Information
Your system administrator configures the method for entering patient information. You
can enter patient information by using one of the following methods:
• Use an approved Philips barcode scanner. Approved scanners are listed in
“Miscellaneous Accessories” on page 15-11.
• Manual input using the on-screen keyboard
Caution
After you have entered patient information, ensure that the information has been entered correctly,
especially if you entered the information manually.
WARNING
To ensure patient safety, always check that you are using the correct patient ID before measuring and
saving vital signs.
Using a Barcode Scanner
Before you begin scanning:
• Make sure that you are familiar with the barcodes used at your facility.
• Make sure you have read the Instructions for Use for your barcode scanner.
Note
If your barcode scanner has trouble reading barcodes, you can unplug the scanner and
use the on-screen keyboard to enter patient information.
“Miscellaneous Accessories” on page 15-11 lists the approved barcode scanner for use
with the VS30 monitor.
Using a Non-programmed Barcode Scanner
If your barcode scanner is not pre-programmed, it reads individual barcodes one at a
time.The monitor prompts you to scan each barcode in sequence. The prompts appear in
red at the lower left of the New Patient Menu. The scanned information is transferred to
the highlighted patient information field on the monitor. When the monitor prompts you
to scan a patient information barcode, you need to know which barcode corresponds
with the highlighted patient information field.
