■ Patient: The Patient ID is assigned to the person,
whose test results are recorded. You can either:
– block input of a unique Patient ID (in this case,
every test is simply numbered in consecutive order)
– allow a unique Patient ID as optional, or
– require a unique Patient ID for every test. Patient
lists created externally can also be transferred to
the meter, enabling you to select Patient IDs for a
test from these lists. For more details see “Data
handling”, starting on page 139.
Operator IDs can be selected from a list (if available) or
read by the barcode scanner on the side of the meter. If
passwords were created, they must be entered via the
onscreen keypad. Patient IDs can be entered by using the
onscreen keypad or the barcode scanner on the side of
the meter. For more information on working with operator
and patient ID barcodes, see “Data handling”, starting on
page 139.
The buttons in the ID Setup menu show what the current
settings are (this is just an example, the screen may look
different on your meter):
■ The standard display of the Admin. button means
the function is available but not activated (a pass-
word for the system administrator/supervisor has
not been assigned).
■ The standard display of the Operator button
means the Operator login is available but not acti-
vated.
■ When the Patient button is highlighted (that is,
when it has a blue background) this means the
function is available and activated (either as
Optional or Required).
