Central Data Station
Comments
Prevents operators from sending older
patient records that may have already been
deleted from the Central Data Station.
If no upload schedule is specified and the
Memory Full warning is ignored and
Auto-transmit disabled, data will
eventually be overwritten. However, if an
analyzer has not been used and the upload
interval is exceeded, this analyzer will be
inoperable if the lockout option is used.
Comments
If operator IDs are a fixed length, both
settings should equal the ID length.
This option can be set for manual and/or
scanned ID Entry.
Disabling printing of operator IDs can
prevent uncertified operators from
learning the IDs of certified operators.
Check digit algorithms are given in HL7
Specification, Section 2.9.5.3.
Do not enable if the Use Operator List
option is disabled.
Separate Actions can be chosen for
Certification Expired or Operator Not On
List.
If operator IDs are a fixed length, both
settings should equal the ID length.
This option can be set for manual and/or
scanned ID entry.
