■ The Patient ID is set to Optional or Required, and
there is a list available:
The list of Patient IDs is always shown when start-
ing a measurement. You may now:
– select a patient from the list;
– scan a Patient ID using the barcode scanner;
– create a new patient entry by touching New. You
may either read the ID using the barcode scanner
or enter a new ID via the onscreen keypad.

a data management system), and there is a list

– You may now scan a Patient ID using the barcode
scanner. If the patient ID is on the list, the test will
proceed. If the patient ID is not on the list, you will
get an error message.
Patient list validation Depending on DMS settings, you have the following
options for patient list validation when working with
Patient lists:
■ A Patient ID does not have to be on the list to be
used (only valid for validation mode “off”).
■ The meter displays a warning if the Patient ID
entered is not on the list.
■ The meter displays an error message if the ID was
not found on the list of valid Patient IDs.
To proceed with the test, you must scan ( if ID set to “hid-
den”) or select ( if ID set to Required) a valid Patient ID.
Note that the scanned Patient ID must already be on the
list that is sent from the DMS to the meter. You cannot
use the scanner to scan and enter a new Patient ID if
the Patient ID is set to “hidden”.
