Creating Patient Cases
The SDC3 organizes all the data associated with a patient into a patient “case�” Patient cases
include information about the patient, the procedure, and any pictures or video captured during
the procedure� Patient cases can be created, accessed, modied, and saved to the SDC3 hard disk
or to external media, such as USB drives, CD/DVD, or network servers�
Creating a New Patient Case

case (the “current case”) before creating a new case. Discarding the case will erase any data
associated with that case. If you do not wish to discard the current case, you can access it
through the CURRENT CASE button from the Home screen.
