Load patient data with a barcode scanner
You can use a barcode scanner to query existing patient records and perform a patient

Note If the monitor is connected to the network, the monitor can receive a
patient name from patient records associated with a scanned ID number.
Note If "Require patient ID match to save measurements" is enabled in Advanced
settings, a progress indicator appears onscreen as the device queries an
external host system or the device's Patient list for a matching ID.

An unsuccessful query results in the message, "Unable to identify patient."
• A successful query results in patient data populating fields and appearing
onscreen according to preferences configured in Advanced settings.

The Patient ID appears in the Patient frame if the patient query is successful.
