Meter Setup
52
ID Setup Setting
Use the ID Setup (ID = identification) menu to enter settings for user and patient management.
These settings are optional. The meter can be operated without these settings.
There are three types of identification used with the meter:
■ If you set up an Administrator ID, most meter setup functions will be restricted to users
who know this ID. Setting up an Administrator ID is not necessary in order to use the
meter, but it may be desirable to limit the number of users who are allowed to change
meter settings.
■ The Operator ID belongs to persons who use the meter to run tests. If you want to use
Operator IDs, you have several options:
– You may use Operator IDs to restrict the use of the meter only to qualified personnel or a
predefined group of users.
– You may use Operator IDs for informational purposes only, in order to assign stored
measurement results to the users who performed the test.
■ The Patient ID belongs to the person, whose test results are recorded. You can either
– abandon unique Patient IDs (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 trans-
ferred to the meter, enabling you to select Patient IDs for a test from these lists.
Operator IDs or Patient IDs can be entered by using the onscreen keypad or the barcode scanner
on the front of the meter (version with barcode scanner only). If passwords were created, they
must be entered via the onscreen keypad.
