Update Patient Information with a Barcode Reader

Using a barcode reader can simplify the entry of patient information and reduce
the chance of introducing errors. When you scan a patient's barcode, it retrieves
the patient information encoded in the barcode. You can then verify and modify the
information.
You can scan a patient's barcode using an external barcode reader or the internal
barcode reader of the Acquisition Module.
Before you use an external barcode reader, make sure that:
• The BRCD option to use an external barcode reader is activated on the device.
• The barcode reader is connected to the device, and the device is correctly
configured to use the peripheral. For more information, see the MAC VU360
Resting ECG Analysis System Setup and Configuration Manual.
• You are in the Live or Full Disclosure ECG screen, or when patient demographics
banner is open.
Before you use the Acquisition Module barcode reader, make sure that:
• The Acquisition Module is connected to the device, and the barcode settings are
configured on the device. For more information, see the MAC VU360
Analysis System Setup and Configuration Manual.
• You are in the Live or Full Disclosure ECG screen, or when patient demographics
banner is open.
An error message displays if you scan a barcode during the acquisition of a Resting
ECG, Rhythm ECG or a Full Disclosure ECG for the patient.
