Export and Import Scan Data
Stratus OCT User Manual PN 2660021134133 A
9-2
For these records, you cannot edit the following fields: Last Name, First Name, Middle
Names, Gender, Date of Birth, and Patient ID. You can edit other fields of the
anonymous patient record, as well as analyze, archive and re-export the data. Data that is
imported with identifying patient information can be edited without restriction.
Updating Imported Records
For all imported patient records, it is possible to import new scan data and update patient
data. In the case of records imported without patient identifying information, the Patient
Export ID enables updating of the patient record. Once created, the Patient Export ID
is fixed. It is also unique among those created on all Stratus OCT instruments because part
of it is derived from the unique serial number of the Stratus OCT instrument on which it
was created. If during import the Stratus OCT encounters information associated with a
Patient Export ID already imported, the Stratus OCT does the following:
• imports all scan data (exams) not previously impo
rted, but never deletes nor
overwrites any scan data already imported;
• updates patient data (e.g., axial length, patien
t categories, etc.) only if it was created
on a later date than the data already imported. This prevents overwriting of newer
patient data with older.
Removable Export Media Use Restrictions
The Stratus OCT prevents you from mingling export data with archive or backup data on
the same removable media. The Stratus OCT will not write export data to media that
already contains archive or backup data. Only one export database can be present on a
given media. If you attempt to export to media that already has an export database, you
will be asked if you wish to overwrite the previous database before export can continue.
Similarly, the Stratus OCT will not write archive or backup data to media that already
contains export data.
WARNING: It is possible to reuse removable media for export, but you must
overwrite—and in the process delete—the curr
ent export database. You can
also repurpose any dedicated removable media, but only if you first delete all
files on the media or reformat it—and thereby permanently erase all data on
it.
OCT Image Export
Note: OCT Image Export is an optional feature that may not be activated on all
instruments. If you do not have this feature and want to purchase it, contact Carl
Zeiss Meditec. In the U.S., call 1-877-486-7473; outside the U.S., contact your local
Carl Zeiss affiliate or distributor.
To facilitate the transfer of Stratus OCT image data for viewing on electronic medical record
systems or on a s
tandard computer, Stratus offers the ability to export OCT scan images in
standard image formats (JPEG or BMP) to any accessible location. This feature is called OCT
