The PCPatch utility is used to set up and start the DR400 for each procedure.
From the utility you can copy the Holter file, erase data, preview he file, update
settings and enter the Patient ID. Optionally, the utility can also be used to view
your patients ECG data live via a Bluetooth USB that is attached to your PC.
Download and Install the utility
Go to the NorthEast Monitoring web-site at www.nemon.com to download the PCPatch utility.
Once downloaded, install the PCPatch on the computer where you prepare the DR400s for the
next procedure. The default directory, “c:\nm\bin” is where the PCPatch utility will be installed,
unless you specify otherwise. If HE/LX Analysis or LX Remote is located in a different direc-
tory, you will need to override the “nm” directory at install. Once installed, you should see a
shortcut on your desktop. Click on the shortcut to run the PCPatch utility.
Using the PC Patch Utility
Plug the DR400 into the USB on the same
PC where the PCPatch utility is running.
When a DR400 is found, you can do the fol-
lowing:
•
Preview - When a patient file is on the
DR400, you can view the Recorder S/N,
the Patient ID and the date and start time
of the recording
•
Copy Flash.dat - Although this button
can be used to copy the flash.dat file into
the next open directory in HE/LX soft-
ware, we recommend that you use the
HE/LX or LX Remote copy feature to
upload the file when the procedure is
complete.
•
Erase DR400 - After the patient file is
saved, use this to erase the patient file
from the recorder. You will need to do this before you can start a new recording.
You will also need to erase the previous file before you can update settings for your next
recording.
•
New Patient - After erasing previous patient, enter the Patient ID for the next recording
•
Settings - Update the Recorder settings and pair with Bluetooth and/or Gateway. The DR400
must be erased before Settings can be updated.
•
Start DR400 - For DR400 versions 5.22 and greater, this button can be used to start the
recorder. The DR400 must be erased and have new Patient ID number to be started.
