Once the patient demographic information has been entered, the testing information must be
entered under the Dose Data column. Enter the lot number and activity of the Co57 and
Co58 labeled Vitamin B-12 capsules to be given to the patient. Next enter the total volume
of the urine collected over the test period. The aliquot volume is the volume used for the
samples counted in the well counter, and should not exceed the useful counting dimensions
of the well. A sample volume of 4 ml is a good sample volume for the well detector provided
with the CAPTUS
®
2000 system. The aliquot volume must be the same for both the patient’s
sample and the standard solution sample.
Enter the counting time in seconds. Counting time should be sufficiently long to allow 10,000
cumulative counts. 300 seconds is usually sufficient for adequate counts of even low activity
urine samples. Enter the number of repetitions required. The samples may be counted for
one or two repetitions. When two repetitions are chosen, each of the counting sequence
screens described below will appear twice. Each sample count will be labeled with the
appropriate sample name, and Count #1 or Count #2. The counts will be averaged for each
sample. Enter the Tech ID in any combination of up to 8 alphanumeric characters.
A comment section is available for free text input of up to 8,000 characters. Any information
entered into the comment section will appear on the printed report. The
INSERT
COMMENTS FILE button enables the user to copy a previously stored .txt file. A .txt file is
created by using Notepad from the Windows
®
accessory screen. Select Notepad by clicking
on the Notepad Icon. Type in the desired text or create a form, and save. Notepad
automatically saves files as .txt. This feature provides the user with the ability to create a
standard diagnosis report form or results text and incorporate it into the DICOPAC Test result
report.
Once all of the required information has been entered in the Patient Library screen, exit the
screen by selecting the
DONE button. The information which has been entered will be saved
to the DICOPAC Test database file. Note that the software requires the entry of all non
optional fields before exiting through the
DONE button. To exit the screen without saving
any information, choose the CANCEL button.
Editing Patient Information
If you wish to review or edit any information which has already been entered on a patient,
first select the desired patient from the Patient Directory list on the main DICOPAC Test
screen, then choose the
EDIT button. The patient information will be retrieved from the
patient library, and displayed on the screen. Note that the ID appears in blue, and cannot be
changed. If the ID has been entered incorrectly, you must delete the patient, and re-enter
under the correct ID. After any changes have been made, select the
DONE button to save
the changed information. CANCEL will exit the screen without saving changes made to the
patient library screen. Since each ID must be unique to insure that results are always stored
in the correct file, to save different DICOPAC Tests on the same patient requires an ID
extension. Using either A, B, C, or 1,2,3, is a convenient way to tag the ID for each
subsequent test.
For example, if a patient is required to have a repeat DICOPAC Test performed six months
later, and you wish to save all of the patient results concurrently, label the patient ID (for
