1 Entering or retrieving patient data – an overview
In the plusoptiX A12C and A16 model, patient data can be entered or retrieved before a
measurement to prepare for an examination (see Chapter 2) or assigned after a
measurement to document the measurement results (see Chapter 3)
As an alternative to manual entry of the patient data, the Plusoptix Binocular Autorefractor
can also be integrated into your EMR software (see Chapter 4) or the patient data can be
imported into the database through the USB interface in the form of a CSV table (see
Chapter 5).
The "plusoptiX A12R" model does not have an internal patient database. Touching the printer
button after the measurement in the "plusoptiX A12R" model will display a single line to enter
individual patient data. This data will be portrayed on the measurement report and on the
self-adhesive label. Following explanations are for the "plusoptiX A12C" and "plusoptix A16"
model, only.
If the measurement results are to be documented anonymously, touch the checkmark (2) in
the navigation bar as well. This will allow you to skip the patient data entry screen. The
"plusoptiX A12" saves the measurement under a consecutive patient ID. This is composed
as follows: <last 4 digits of the serial number-<consecutive number>-<date>-<time>

2 Entering or retrieving patient data before the measurement

To prepare for a measurement, the patient data can be entered or retrieved from the
database before the measurement. The subsequently started measurement will then be
performed under the previously entered or selected patient data.
Note:
In the plusoptiX A16 model, a USB keyboard must be connected for entering the
patient data.
You do not have to switch between individual fields on the intuitive patient data entry screen.
Simply enter the personal details of the patient into the entry field, separated by a space, e.g.
"Emily Atlanta".
To be able to clearly identify a patient in the database, the first name and last name, or a
patient ID, must be entered. Information about the date of birth, examination location and
contact information are optional.
