Entering Patient ID
Entering patient ID information is not required to record an ECG. Note that
for the PageWriter 300pi, some ID fields affect the interpretation of Auto
ECGs and this ID information should therefore be entered. See
“Understanding ECG Analysis and the Predictive Instruments Applications”
for more information.
NOTE If the cardiograph is configured to record no ID information, pressing
displays the following message:
ID entry has been disabled
Change your configuration to
enter ID data.
Press any key to continue.
The following steps detail one of two methods of entering patient ID
information. See “Recording an Auto ECG” or “Recording a Manual ECG”
later in this chapter for the second method.
To enter patient identification, perform the following steps (these steps
assume all ID fields are enabled).
