The rules for assigning meter readings to the database are as follows:
■
You may transfer readings from a particular meter to the same patient as the previous
transfer, a new patient, or a Guest patient.
■
If you want to transfer readings from a meter to a different patient than before, you
must have selected
Require name confirmation to get the meter readings
in the
General Tab of the Preferences screen. You will be prompted to select a new patient
name. Scroll through the names in the Patient field and select the desired one. If you
do not see the patient name you are looking for, you may click on the
Add New
Patient
link to create a new name.
■
A Guest patient is a permanent entry in the OneTouch
®
DMS database. It serves as a
generic patient name. For example, you can transfer meter readings to the Guest
patient name for anyone for whom you want to generate a report but for whom you
don't care if their records are saved in the database. Previous Guest entries are deleted
from the database every time you start up the Software and each time you transfer
new readings to the Guest patient.
■
You may stop the transfer process by clicking on the
Cancel
button.
Notes:
■
If you are a new OneTouch
®
DMS user with a blank (empty) database, only the Guest
patient name exists in the database. This means you will have to click on the
Add New
Patient
button to create a new patient name for the meter transfer.
■
If meter readings are not successfully transferred, an on screen message box will
prompt you to check the meter/cable connections. For other meter communications
problems, see Appendix C: Troubleshooting.
