Allow Clear Exams
When the Stratus OCT database reaches capacity
, you must make space by clearing scan
data that has been archived. However, you can prevent the exam records of any patient
from being among those cleared, if you click the No radio button in the Allow Clear
Exams area on the right. The Yes radio button is selected by default, allowing the Stratus
OCT to clear this patient’s exams when necessary, and only if they have been archived
(copied) first. See the section Clear Archived Exams on page 8-14 for more
information.
