WARNINGS

To avoid incorrect calculations, verify that the patient information, date, and time
settings are accurate.

To avoid misdiagnosis or harming the patient outcome, start a new patient form
before starting a new patient exam and performing calculations. Starting a new
patient form clears the previous patient’s data. The previous patient’s data will
be combined with the current patient if the form is not first cleared. See “Editing
patient information” on page 4-31.
