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�

case. If you do not want to discard the current case, you can access it through the CURRENT
CASE button from the Home screen.
