CP 20_________________________________________________________________Section 4
Patient Demographics
You may enter patient demographic information before acquisition. The entered patient ID fields will
remain populated until you acquire the ECG. However, when you disconnect the leads from the patient,
turn off the cardiograph, or change a configuration setting before acquisition, the entered patient
demographic information will be cleared for you to enter the demographics of your next patient.
To access the patient demographic data entry menu, press ID (F1) from the Real-Time ECG View. The
patient demographic labels available are determined by the ID format selected in the configuration settings.
The short ID format is pictured below:
Patient demographic entry can be completed manually for a new patient or automatically from an existing
patient record in the directory. Manually enter the patient demographics and use Enter, Tab or (F1) and
(F2) to move to each data entry field.
Skipped fields will appear as a blank field on the header of the ECG
printout.
TIP: Type the letter F to change the gender to female or type the letter M to change the
gender to male.
To automatically populate the demographics of an existing patient, select the desired patient from the
directory by selecting Direc (F5). The patient directory (sorted by name) is pictured below.
