OPERATION
SAVING TREATMENT TO A PATIENT DATA CARD
The TX traction unit incorporates a Patient Data Card interface that
allows transfer of patient therapy data from the unit to the Patient Data
Card. The unit allows storage and recall of the following patient session
data onto the Patient Data Card: all therapy session parameters, before
and after Patient Pain Profiles, and Session Notes. Each Patient Data Card
can store multiple sessions and each session can be recalled within the
unit.
