Using Patient and Sample Demographics
The following table lists the patient and sample demographics that you can select.
When you enter a patient ID for an existing patient, the system populates the
patient data from stored patient information. When you modify patient
information, the system updates this information in all samples that use this
patient ID.
NOTE:
If you turn off a sample demographic that is necessary to determine
results, the system also turns off any parameters that require that sample
demographic. To identify the demographics needed to report results, refer to
Setting up Parameters ‚ page 8-13.
