NOTE:
The barcode scanner shall use IDMENA1 and IDMDCP51 as default configuration
for Data Matrix.
Regardless of which code is used, the site’s IT department must do the following:
• Set up the patient data scheme.
• Configure the barcode reader.
NOTE:
All data resides in fixed-width fields. The bar code must be programmed to add
“trailing spaces” after fields shorter than the fixed length of the fields your system
is using.
Setting Up the Patient Data Scheme
Use the following rules to set up a data scheme, including patient demographic data,
for your barcodes.
Patient Data Scheme
Item
Byte Length
Patient ID The Patient ID length should not exceed the
30–character maximum and should be equal to
the ID length set up on the system in the
Patient
Setup window.
If the system is communicating with a MUSE
system, the length of the
Patient ID should be the
same as the Patient ID that the MUSE system uses.
