Barcode scanner Using a DMS, the barcode scanner may be configured to
accept only selected barcode symbologies. A list of sup-
ported barcode symbologies can be found in Appendix A
on page 166, a list of supported characters in Appendix
A.3 on page 169.
Stored test results and
comments
When performing a test, the test result will be stored
along with additional information, including the Patient
ID, Operator ID, the kind of test performed, and optional
Comments. The meter comes with a default set of Com-
ments that can be assigned to each test result. If you are
working with a DMS, these comments can be replaced by
the comments in the DMS. The new wording will then be
available for selection from the Comments list in the
meter.
Alphanumeric characters are any combination of A - Z
and 0 - 9, additionally “.” (period), or “-” (hyphen) may
be used.
Barcode masking can be used to eliminate any charac-
ters not belonging to the Operator ID. See information
on “Operator and patient ID barcode masks” on
page 165.
Up to 3 comments can be assigned to each result.
