Acquiring ECG Reports

The Atria does not require patient demographic information for an
immediate ECG. Enter patient demographic information at any time. (See
"ECG Tips" on pg. 7-4.)
If no patient ID is entered, the Atria prints "#STAT#, date, time" in the
field.

Atria hasn't acquired enough good data.
If possible enter patient demographic information before performing tests.
Patient demographic information also may be entered after acquisition.

Your patient's physician uses this information when interpreting ECG
reports. Likewise, an interpretive Atria provides more accurate and
complete analysis statements when you enter complete patient
information.
