Exporting data
You can export device data that is acquired and stored by CareLink Pro. This gives you all of a
patient’s device data to use for statistics or the creation of specialized reports or charts. The .csv
file can be imported into Microsoft Excel or certain clinical statistics programs where you can
further manipulate the data.
The .csv file contains data recording the actions of the device. For example, it lists the recording
of meter readings, the pump receiving the meter reading value, or change in basal rate.
NOTE: This is an advanced feature, and requires you to be familiar with the raw device data.
It also requires proficiency with any software into which you import the .csv file.
Follow these steps to use the CareLink Pro export feature:
1 Click the patient’s tab or click the Open Patient button
and double click the patient’s name.
2 Make sure the Reports workspace is displayed.
3 Use the Duration or From/Through fields to set the dates and length of the report.
The maximum duration you can select is 12 weeks.
4 Click the export selected data link.
The Export Data to CSV File dialog box is displayed.
5 Navigate to the location where you want to store the .csv file on your computer. If you want to
change the name of the file, type it into the File name box.
6 Click SAVE.
NOTE: For more information about the data displayed in CSV files, see CSV data on
page 56.
The .csv file is now saved on your computer in the location you selected. You can now choose to
import it into any program that supports this file type.
