Patient report
The patient report contains calculation results and
patient information. For Cardiac, OB, Transcranial,
and Vascular exams, the patient report has
additional details and features.
You can display the patient report at any time
during the exam.
The value for a calculation appears only if the
calculation is performed. The pound symbol (###)
indicates a value that is out of range (for example,
too large or small). Calculation values that are out of
range are not included in derived calculations (for
example, mean).
