Automatically Entering Patient Demographics from the Patient List
Patient demographics can be completed automatically by selecting patient information from the institution
information system, or patient list. However, when user authentication is enabled, this option is only available when

Automatically Entering Patient Demographics using the Optional Bar Code Scanner
ELI 380 supports bar code scanners with 39, 128 and 2D capabilities. When programmed for the institution’s bar
code, the optional bar code scanner is capable of downloading specific data from the patient’s wristband bar code
into the patient demographics fields.
Once in the real-time ECG display, the user can scan the patient’s wristband barcode and the patient information
screen is displayed with demographics automatically entered.
Specific download capability and utilization with the bar code scanner depends on the data available on the
wristband bar code and the configuration of the ELI 380.
Refer to the bar code scanner user manual for instructions on setup and use.
