4. Follow the instructions on the web page to download and install both the HB3 ROM
Update software and the HB3 Universal Clear Data Key software to your USB flash
drive. If you need more guidance, you can download the Utility Key Manual that is
provided on the web page.
You now have an HB3 Utility Key that you can use to clear patient data and update the ROM
on Health Buddy appliances.
8.
Clearing patient data from the Health Buddy
All protected health information (PHI) from the previous patient that is stored on the Health
Buddy appliance must be erased (cleared) before the Health Buddy can be transferred to
another patient.
Before you begin
If you do not have an HB3 Utility Key (a USB flash drive that contains the HB3 Utility Key
software on it), you need to create one. See
Creating a Health Buddy 3 Utility Key
Procedure
To clear the previous patient’s PHI from a Health Buddy:
1. Power up the Health Buddy by plugging one end of the power supply into an electrical
outlet and the other end into the back of the Health Buddy.
2. Plug the HB3 Utility Key into a USB port on the back of the Health Buddy. The Health
Buddy screen might change color and take a full minute before displaying a menu.
3. When the Health Buddy prompts you to select a utility program to run, select Clear
Data, and then follow the instructions on the Health Buddy. The Health Buddy will tell
you if the Clear Data program is successfully completed. (The text in the picture
below might not exactly match what you see.)
