4.1 Patient Information
To start a new patient exam, it is best to enter detailed patient information. The system will set up a
unique information database for each patient based on the patient information entered, so that the
information of one patient will not be confused with that of another patient.
Before examining a new patient, tap [End] in the bottom-left
corner of the operating panel to end the exam of the previous
patient. Update the patient ID and information to avoid mixing
data between patients.
To enter the Patient Info screen
Tap [Patient] on the left side of the operating panel.
To exit the Patient Info screen
Tap [Done] on the Patient Info screen.
Tap [Cancel] on the Patient Info screen to exit the screen without saving any of the entered
patient data.
