Section 5
Operating Instructions
Patient age is entered in Weeks and/or Years. The range for Weeks is zero to 51.
The range for Years is 1 to 199. Any number input shall be interpreted by the
system as “equal to or less than.” Age ranges are automatically established by using
successively higher numbers. For example, if the number 1 is entered in the Years
field for Limit Set 2 and the number 5 is entered in the Years field for Limit Set 3,
then any patient whose age is 1 year or less will automatically be assigned Limit
Set 2 and any patient whose age is greater than 1 year but equal to or less than 5
years will automatically be assigned Limit Set 3.
The appropriate Limit Set is automatically assigned when a patient’s sex and date
of birth are entered on the
RUN
screen or Work List.
